 You may have started you business with a small peer to peer network consisting of several PC or Macintosh computers linked together to simply share files and printers. This kind of network has limited functionality and functions best with 5 or fewer computers. If you’ve grown beyond this kind of system we can help to design and install a full file server based solution. File servers offer many benefits to workgroup network such as:
- Your workstation won’t slow down while other people try to access your files
- Centralized data structure is easier to back up, share and manage
- File servers are designed to handle heavy work loads. Their mean time between failure (life expectancy) is much higher than a general workstation
- You can set multiple levels of security to allow different employees access to different data sets.
- Servers provide quicker access to data as they are specifically designed for sharing files and programs
- Mail, calendar and other collaborative software can be hosted on your server to provide a more flexible and productive work environment
- Proxy servers can be loaded to reduce the cost of your data traffic charges on your Internet connection
- High performance database server applications can be used
- Company Intranets can be implemented for sharing of internal resources
- Servers can support the sending of Faxes directly from your workstation
Maintenance ContractsFixed cost maintenance contracts are developed on a case by case basis depending on how many PCs, Servers and other network devices are to be supported. We also take into consideration what operating systems (Windows 95, 98, 2000, or XP) are being used and what applications are being supported. A fixed cost contract can be put together for you once a Site Inspection has been performed and the cost of the Site Inspection can be applied to your first month contract fee.
