Networks connect
our computer to each other and the Internet. A reliable
network structure is vital for solid performance from your
computers. We can maintain your existing networks and
provide new equipment and ideas to help you grow.
We would
appreciate the opportunity to help you determine if your
network is adequate for your needs. If you'd like to
find out more, please use the Contact Us form (here)
or call us at 815-354-4528. |
Without networking, our
computers aren't much more than glorified word processors.
When you connect them together through a reliable, high
speed network you can do so much more. With the proper
network infrastructure in place it's possible to
- Share all
types of data to make your company more
productive.
- Consolidate
your data to a single point to make backups
simple and reliable.
- It becomes
easy to share printers saving on supplies
and operating costs.
- The Internet
and email becomes available to all
workstations.
- Security is
enhanced as the logon information is stored
in a single location.
- Data
duplication is reduced or eliminated making
errors due to incorrect information a thing
of the past.
- Security
updates can be performed from a single point
rather than each workstation downloading its
own updates.

Networks consist of a few fairly
simple parts: The wire (generally Ethernet Cat5e or higher),
switches (to control the flow of data through the wire),
network adapters in the computer, and a router / firewall
that protects the computers against attacks coming from the
Internet. Selecting these components requires planning so
that you have enough capacity to perform the tasks that you
are trying to do and have room to grow in the future. We can evaluate your current network and
its components as well as make recommendations and provide
the hardware and expertise to make certain that your
operation runs smoothly.
These days, it's equally
possible for your phone system to run across your computer
network using VOIP (Voice over IP). This can be a true cost
savings for many clients if the capability to run this type
of system is available within your geographic area. Most
areas can be serviced this way and if the high costs of
telecommunications are a major expense for you, then this is
an option that is worth considering. We do not offer this
service ourselves but we do partner with quality VOIP
providers if you are interested in pursuing that option.
