Network, Installation & Configuration
What Is a Network?
Networks provide a link between people, information, and devices.
They allow users to share resources such as data, applications,
and peripherals easily and efficiently.
Networks make it easy for your employees to:
These features enable networks to provide three key benefits for
your business:
Help Improve Productivity
Networks help ensure that critical files and applications can
be shared by your users at all times, helping to increase accuracy
and efficiency. And because networks can offer a high-speed connection
to the Internet, users won't waste time waiting for pages to download
or print. In addition, networks enable email communication, which
helps ensure that employees, whether they're in the next office
or on another continent, can communicate with each other quickly
and easily.
Reduce Costs
Networks can greatly reduce the cost of peripherals such as modems
and printers by centralising usage and sharing them among users.
Printers, for example, can be very expensive if every desktop
is equipped with one. In addition, you can reduce the cost of
maintaining multiple modems, dial-out lines, and Internet accounts
by allowing all of your users to connect to the Internet over
a single high-speed connection, such as an ISDN line or cable/DSL.
Protect Your Data
Data is one of your most important company assets. Networks can
centralise the data backup for your organisation, making the regular
protection of data a systematic routine task. Storing data on
a single server can allow for increased accessibility as well
as data protection.

 |
When did you last do a proper
backup of your business critical data?
|
 |
Imagine how you would be feeling
right now if you had just lost all of your data?
|
 |
Which is more valuable to you;
your computers or the information about your business
and its customers that sits on the computers?
|
 |
If you could insure that data
for as little as 30p per day would you do it?

If there is one 'first rule of computing' then it is ensuring
that you perform routine backups. Many users do not backup their
files as often as they should.
As business owners you will have a fairly shrewd
idea of what constitutes a valuable asset. But one valuable asset
that is regularly ignored is data. Just stop and consider all
the information that you enter into your system on a daily basis.
Now imagine what it would feel like to lose all this data, having
to start from scratch.
By the very nature of your business, computers
undergo rigorous use, which can result in wear and tear over time.
This may cause catastrophic computer crashes, which may corrupt
or damage data stored on the machine. The other main cause of
data loss occurs as a result of fire damage, robbery and virus.
How will you recover this data then? The key to protecting data
is to backup regularly.
How Often Should I Backup?
Imagine what it would feel like if you walked
into your office tomorrow to find that all the information that
you have stored on your computer had vanished. Contemplate on
the months of data that you would have to re-enter, the time and
cost involved in employing someone to input this data, the inconvenience
of having your system tied up by a data entry person and the negative
perceptions this may evoke on your business when you cannot retrieve
important client information or print valued documentation. In
other words, you should be backing up daily.
Our research shows that the main reasons that
our customers do not backup daily is the time that it takes and
the inconvenience involved. We have evidence to dispute this.
The backup solutions that we provide today can be set up to run
automatically giving you more time to concentrate on other issues
and providing all important peace of mind.
How to Store Backup Tapes:
Backup tapes should be stored in their cases,
rotated regularly and placed in a fireproof safe or taken off-site.
If you have other important software on your system e.g. an accounts
package, it is advisable to include this in your daily backup.
That way, you can positively ensure that if the worst should happen,
you can recover your valuable business asset in next to no time.

Workstations & Servers

Servers and PCs are both computers. They have similar processors
and run similar software. What distinguishes servers from PCs
is how they perform. Servers handle jobs for more than one computer,
which allows multiple users to share network resources, such as
printers and a variety of software applications. Because anything
that slows down or interrupts a server can impact numerous users.
Servers are normally built with the following considerations:
Performance
Servers are more likely to perform multiple tasks simultaneously
than an individual PC. That's why Computer World servers are maximised
for performance with fast data transfer through more processing
power and memory than are generally available on PCs.
Scalability
As your network grows, so can our servers. You can add much more
memory and hard disk capacity to our servers than to a PC. And
if you need additional processing capacity over time, you can
add processors as needed.
Reliability
If a server goes down, it can dramatically impact your productivity
and increase costs. That's why our servers offer a variety of
reliability features like redundant power supplies and fans that
help keep your business up and running when a desktop PC would
have failed.
Your specific needs for performance, scalability, and reliability
determine which server platform you should buy and how you should
customise it.
