Network Installations and Upgrades:
For a lot less than you think, you can have all the computers in your office connected to the internet and sharing one printer.  What’s needed?  A network card in each computer, some cables and a hub to tie them together.  A little tweaking and your computers will be chatting at light speed.  Share files, email, even set up limits so your employees don’t spend too much time browsing the web.

Virtual Private Network (VPN):
Have you ever wanted to add a computer at another location to the network in your office?  You could benefit from a VPN. Using DSL or even a satellite uplink, with a VPN you can virtually extend the computer network in your office around the world.  

What is a VPN?

A VPN is a “Virtual Private Network.”  Unlike a truly private network where you own the wires all the way from point A to point B and nobody else can use them, in a VPN some part of the path from A to B is a public network such as the Internet, a public telephone system or even satellites. The VPN provider builds a "tunnel" through that public system for your private data traffic.

What benefit does this bring?
Virtual Private Networks offer a very cost-effective way for corporations to communicate. Connection is generally based on inexpensive local call ISDN or telephone connections using the Internet as the main communications link.

Are there any drawbacks?
With a true private network, a user can expect, and demand, a defined minimum quality of service from the telephone company or provider. However, a Virtual Private Network could depend upon many sections of the Internet that are beyond the control of your ISP (Internet Service Provider).  Also, the speed of the VPN is limited to the connection speed.  A typical internet connection is not as fast as a connection over a LAN.

How secure is a VPN?
Understandably, the corporate world has concerns about sending sensitive information over the very public part of a VPN, the Internet. In practical terms, information passing over the VPN will potentially be routed across several networks that are not under the control of the sender. Thus an important part of any VPN is the encryption that will secure the data stream from prying eyes. Hence, the development of IPSec, which provides both these functions and more.

NETWORKING SERVICES

Technically speaking, the heart of most companies is their computer network, whether it is a Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN). A LAN or WAN is metaphorically like the human body; with the cabling, hubs and Internet acting as the central nervous system; the server acting as the brain; and workstations and other components and acting as parts of the body.

As you might imagine, if either the central nervous system or the brain stop, everything stops. Our job is to prevent this from happening and if it does, get you up and running as quickly as possible.
