BUILT AND RUN IN-HOUSE

We run it ourselves.
Then we build it for you.

The firewall, phones, DNS/DHCP, monitoring and backups we recommend are the same kinds of systems we operate in our own environment every day. We use the same approach we would build for you, sized to your business.

Talk through my setup

This page describes architecture, not a product list. We deliberately leave out versions, addresses, host names and vendors, as we would for any client’s environment.

WHAT WE OPERATE

Five systems.
One way of changing them.

01 / FIREWALL

A firewall that shares the line fairly

Our firewall separates networks by purpose and allows only the traffic each one needs. It also uses fair-queuing traffic shaping: instead of letting one large upload or download fill the connection, traffic is queued per flow so calls and interactive work stay responsive while the line is busy.

02 / VOICE

A self-hosted business phone system

Our business calls run through a phone system we host and administer ourselves. Call routing, voicemail and the network path the phones use are designed together, which is why voice and firewall planning belong in the same conversation.

03 / DNS/DHCP

Custom DNS and DHCP

Devices receive addresses from a DHCP service we configure and resolve names through DNS we run. Internal systems have readable names, and records are kept consistent when something is added, moved or retired.

04 / MONITORING

Monitoring that reaches a phone

Checks look at whether each system is doing its job, not only whether it is switched on. When something needs attention, an alert is pushed to a phone, so a problem is seen without someone watching a dashboard.

05 / BACKUPS

Backups kept apart from what they protect

Systems and their configuration are backed up on a schedule to storage separate from the systems themselves. A backup only counts if it can be restored, so restoring is part of the plan rather than an afterthought.

06 / CHANGES

Changes made on purpose

Configuration changes are planned, recorded and reversible, and the related checks are updated alongside them. The goal is a setup that still works the same way after a restart.

WHY IT MATTERS TO YOU

We have lived with
our own decisions.

Recommendations from operation

Running these systems ourselves means we deal with updates, alerts, restarts and recovery firsthand. That experience shapes what we recommend and how we document a handover.

Sized to your business

Your setup will not be a copy of ours. A small office may need one firewall, a hosted phone system and simple DNS; a larger site may need more. The approach stays the same: clear boundaries, visible health and a way back.

Secure by not oversharing

We do not publish our addresses, host names, software versions or vendors, and we would not publish yours. Public details about an environment help attackers more than they help customers.

Honest about scope

This page describes the kinds of systems we operate, not a promise about any particular result for your site. Your proposal states what will be built, tested and handed over.

PRACTICAL ENGINEERING. PERSONAL ATTENTION.

We like the details.
You’ll like what they make possible.

UrbanBytez grew from hands-on work across the Forge engineering environment: custom networks, business voice, connected applications and the systems behind them. That’s how we approach your project, too.

Understand how the pieces fit. Build with intention. Test the work that matters.
01 / OUR ENGINEERING PROVING GROUND

Networks with a plan.

Firewall rules, segmented networks, custom DNS and DHCP.

02 / OUR ENGINEERING PROVING GROUND

Voice, end to end.

PBX configuration, extensions, routing and real call testing.

03 / OUR ENGINEERING PROVING GROUND

Tools for real operations.

Custom interfaces, request tracking and automation workflows.

A CLEAR PATH

Agreed in your proposal.

Account ownership, documentation, warranty responsibilities and any ongoing support are agreed in your proposal.

Examples from our own engineering environment. Your implementation is scoped and tested for your business.

START WITH WHAT YOU HAVE

Bring your current setup.
We will map the gaps.

UrbanBytez designs, builds and supports firewalls, business phone systems, custom apps and custom DNS/DHCP. We work remotely with businesses in Atlanta, Dallas–Fort Worth and Houston. An inquiry is free; a $295 technology assessment documents your current environment and options; implementation starts from $1,495 and is quoted before work begins.

Before you send anything

A description of what you run and what is not working is enough to start. Do not send passwords, keys, network diagrams with addresses or customer records.
