Emergency Virus Removal

 A virus to a business can be potentially very dangerous. We find that viruses can affect your company PC’s and network in a variety of ways, however the most common way is via e-mail or CD.DVD Roms and USB Keys brought into the business from outside. Whether it be personal e-mail or an employee who has been working from home, this is when you are most at risk. Home security is not always as effective or up to date as your company security. Do you have a Company written I.T Policy? You should have to protect the company and its directors.  top

Data Recovery

In some cases, there will be no option than to “wipe a machine” or a hard drive may have failed. Data recovery can be extremely expensive, but if it is vital to your business then we can recover it. Liaising on times and costs all the way, Southern Computer Installations can get your data back!

Wireless Networking

Wireless networking can give a business the ultimate freedom. If you operate a “hot desk” policy then going wireless can be the solution for you, allowing users anywhere in the office to log in and access e-mails and server data. 

However, as when considering any business solution there are a number of key and very important questions that need to be asked and answered.

Such as:

Do I need access points only rather than ad-hoc, peer-to-peer networks? 

What name should I give my network? 

Should I, If possible restrict wireless access to normal office hours using MAC filtering?  

How should I set up a trusted MAC I.D solution for my users? 

How do I stop unauthorised access to my network? 

Would I want to restrict the ability of users to set up 'quick' wireless networks?

These are just some of the typical questions that will require discusssion during the initial consultation about your desired wireless network solution. Contact us today for further information.   top

Networks

There a number of different configurations for you to consider before finalising your business solution. Typical network infrastructures can vary from Peer to Peer networks, which are mainly used for small or non expanding business requirements, through to LAN's where a more robust and scaleable solution is required to meet a larger or growing businesses needs, right up to wide area networks (WAN's).

Equally virtual private networks (VPN's) are becoming increasingly popular where a business has a need for key members of management or staff to be able to access the office resources from a remote location i.e an outlying office or home office for example. top
