We can help you to plan a new network for your office or we can review the options should you be considering upgrading an existing network. If you only have a few computers, they can be linked together in a 'workgroup' to share resources between them.Should you have more than 5 PCs it is worth considering a server based system, which allows the network to be managed centrally

Network CableWindows Small Business Server (SBS)

Windows ® Small Business Server (SBS) is the ideal starting point for the small office as network administration is kept simple. Costs are reduced as many tools are combined in the one package. We have wide experience with installing, configuring and managing SBS, and can advise you on how to get started.

One big advantage of SBS is Virtual Private Networking (VPN) which allows your and your staff to connect to the server over the internet. Thus you and they can work remotely from home or on the road.
