Computer Network Setup & Install

For complete piece of mind we offer a full installation service for computer hardware, software and network equipment. Whether you are buying an entirely new network or just adding PCs or printers, our engineers won't finish the job until everything is working to your satisfaction.

Installation Introduction

A typical network will consist of the computers your people use, known as 'workstations', at least one 'server' computer to control the network and perhaps to store important documents and databases, some cables and sockets to connect them all together, and at least one 'switch' or possibly one or more 'routers' to control the passage of data as it moves around the network or to and from other sites and the Internet. The workstations and server(s) will need appropriate software, and they will have to be 'configured' so that they can talk to each other (send data to each other). Other peripherals such as printers and scanners can also be set up.

Your Internet connection, which is essential if you are to have a proper e-mail service, will also require a modem of some sort, depending on whether you are going to use a Cable Modem or DSL connection. Alternatively, if your Internet traffic is going to be quite heavy, you might prefer a T1 or 'leased line'. Your network is carrying the lifeblood of your business 24 hours a day. From your storage, shared drives and even your e-mail and web site, you need a secure, reliable, fast path for your information.

Our network design service ensures that your network operates with maximum efficiency and is the most cost-effective way to connect your computers. There are many ways to build a network. We make sure yours is right for you and your budget.

Choosing Technologies
Ethernet? Gigabit-Ethernet? FDDI? Token-ring? Save the effort of learning about these arcane technologies and let our experts choose the system that is right for your needs. Cable Modem? ADSL? Leased-line? We help you choose the kind of Internet connection that will save you the most time and money.

Choosing Products and Components
With the best-quality components at the best prices, you can be sure that your network will be robust enough to cope with even the most demanding business environment.

Choosing Software and Licensing
Software vendors seem to make it their life's purpose to come up with the most complex licensing schemes for their software that they can think of. We sort through the maze to find the most cost-effective option for your network.
