Networking Services

Many businesses today need a network, we can advise and supply you with the best network solution for your business, what impact it will have and the benefits it will bring. We offer an extensive range of wired and wireless networks, and even Virtual Private Networks (VPN), allowing you to access documents on a pc at work from the comfort of your own home.

The types of networks we offer are:

• Peer- to- Peer This type of network allows internet connections, printers and documents to be shared.  However any single resource is administered by the computer it is attached to, and the person using that computer has effective control over it.

• Client-Server Networks A client-server network utilises a dedicated server with software such as Microsoft Small Business Server to centrally administer usernames, passwords, e-mail adresses, data, backups, to monitor your network, and much more.  This type of network can greatly increase productivity, as it more easily enables documents to be worked on simultaneously.  It even allows you to host your own website and e-mails, therefore reducing costs.

• Wireless Networks A wireless network can be either peer-to-peer or client-server.  Wireless refers to the way in which your computers connect to the network and can provide flexibility within your workplace, allowing laptop users to work anywhere there is desk space - even outdoors. 

• Virtual Private Network (VPN) VPN's allow users to work from a remote location, such as home, and access your office systems.  A VPN can give user access to printers, documents and programmes on your internal business network and is becoming increasingly popular.  Microsoft Small Business Server includes VPN software.
