Features of Network Support

Servers - Adding a dedicated server to your network provides a central point for important office functions such as backups, file storage, email/Internet sharing and fax sharing. One of the greatest benefits of a server is that it helps avoid office downtime. If a workstation breaks down for any reason, the user can transfer to any other workstation and continue. If none are available, the machine can be replaced with minimal disruption, as important file information will have been stored on the server. Resource sharing - By networking your computer systems correctly you can avoid doubling up on items such as printers and scanners. All the computers will be able to use all of the devices. Internet access - Once machines are networked, the Internet can be shared as well. With the addition of specialised software, email can be kept within the physical boundaries of the building and become almost instant. Time saving - Information on one computer can become instantly accessible to other machines without having to manually copy to disk and reload on another machine. Efficient - One machine can manage backups for the entire network. Programs can be installed or updated throughout the network without having to go from machine to machine. Remote access options can allow connectivity to local network from virtually anywhere in the world. Security - Just because information is central, it doesn't mean that it's accessible to any user. Access to selected files and information can be restricted to authorised users only, on an individual basis. Wireless - Whether there is a problem for using cables, or for mobility reasons, wireless networking is the best solution for providing flexible, reliable and secure connectivity between devices.
