Even if you work on your own you may have a desktop PC and a laptop and need to share your internet connection and transfer files between them. By doing this straight away with a network you will be able to control your files and be in an ideal position to expand your network as your business grows.

Wireless networking can now provide a cost effective way of connecting your computers without trailing wires and enabling you to connect to your files, email and the internet from anywhere in your office or home.

As your business grows you may want to take on staff and provide them with the sort of desktop that they may have experienced in larger organisations. You will also want to share some files but keep others secure and know that mail and important files are being looked after and backed up in a central location.

This is where a small office server can save you many hours of frustration in the office. It is a separate PC that has no monitor or keyboard and be kept out of the way. You never need to deal with it except to use it from your existing PCs just as you would in a large office. If you take a full maintenance package your only task will be to change the back up disk occasionally.

A small office server enables you to:

• Share Files
• Manag Email (Sharing delegation etc)
• Filter SPAM and protect against viruses
• Manage and share calendars and databases
• Back up essential data
• Provide secure storage for sensitive information
• Make data available 24/7
• Make data and mail available when out of the office

Our small office servers are based on Linux Open Source software which gives you the best of both worlds, high stability and low cost.

If you do not have a broadband connection yet we can help you chose one and set it up so that you get the most out of it.

If you already have a broadband connection we can help you get the most out of it to look after and gain access to your data.

Recent virus attacks have shown that some types of broadband connection are safer than others and we can help to keep you safe.

The falling costs of broadband internet access and terminal equipment now mean that it is possible for small companies in different locations to work together as if they were a larger company in a single office.

If you regularly need to share files calendars and mail with other companies but want to remain in control of current versions we can build you a private virtual network which will allow your collaborators to work on their own PCs in their own offices as if they had come to work in your office.

That way you always have control of the master versions of documents and meeting arrangements are not lost in the mass of emails.
