Servers and Networking

Proper networking as well as a server in your office can greatly increase the productivity of your business through file sharing, network printing, centralised calendars and email, and more.

Servers

Servers offer many benefits that individual computers alone cannot.

• Centralised email, calendars and task lists
• A network logon, so you can login to your user profile on any PC connected to the server
• Files stored centrally, so the whole office can access them
• Centralised applications and programs, so vital parts of the business aren't locked to one PC.
• Anti-virus for all your computers managed in one location

We are an accredited Fujitsu reseller, so we can spec a server that suits the needs of your business - how many computers it needs to support and the software it requires. We will also help integrate the server into your existing office setup so you don't have to spend a long time learning how a new system works.

Networking

It is surprising how often the networks of businesses are inefficiently set up. Substandard equipment or equipment designed for home use can drastically reduce the efficiency of your network.

If your business is not yet set up wirelessly, the flexibility you are missing out on is considerable. With a wireless network, you are no longer confined to computers at specific locations, so notebooks and smartphones can be utilised.

A proper network set up would stick to the following guidelines:

• A separate router and Wireless Access Point. Often equipment designed for home use will have these two lumped together, but this considerably decreases the ability of your router to handle your broadband traffic, resulting in noticeably slower internet.
• A network switch to prioritise traffic and provide extra ports for more connections. This means, for example, that you can prioritise your email traffic over web browser surfing.
• A sufficient number of Wireless Access Points to cover your office and the number of users. Often performance is severely reduced by having users trying to connect to an access point that is too far away.

We are an accredited Netgear reseller, so we are able to provide quality equipment at competitive prices. We are also able to install any necessary equipment so that the process of making your office network faster and more reliable is as easy as possible.
