Welcome to the Web site for the home of the ramblings of Albert Steed.
My goal with this site is to share some of my thoughts on operating a small business in tight economic times, in the state that has suffered an economic contraction that has been ongoing for decades.
My business is called Ironkeep Technologies. You can find our web site at http://www.ironkeep.net.
I have owned and operated Ironkeep with my partner Zachary Schneider since 2000.
Ironkeep operates as a one stop shop for several types of IT services for small to mid sized businesses. We operate and maintain a Network Operating Center in Traverse City with Power redundancy, server grade air conditioning, fiber optic internet connection. We managed dozens of servers, both internal and for customers. We provide enterprise grade email services via the Sun Java Messaging Server.
We specialize in programming basic business web sites, and higher end business to business communications platforms. These platforms include Email, Intranets, E-Commerce and Secure data retrieval.
We also specialize in Platforms, design and implementation. This includes Open Source solutions, as well as Unix and Microsoft.
