LAN (Local Area
Network)
We help our clients to build and
manage a network using Microsoft technologies such as
peer-to-peer networking or networking based on Windows 2003 (or
Windows 2000) servers. As
a Linux specialist, we also deploy Linux
server to interconnect Windows workstations
so that the workstations can:
- share Internet connection
- share files
- share printers or other hardware
devices
The greatest benefit of using a
Linux server is on cost savings of license fee. This is
especially true if there are a lot of workstations to be
interconnected.
We'll use OSS (open source software)
so that there is absolutely no license fee to be payable for the
software in the Linux server. The savings in this respect
alone can be thousands of dollars.
Added to this is the benefit of a
very powerful Linux server which is not only stable and reliable
but also provides a rich spectrum of software tools for building
intranet to be used internally for an organization.
Feel free to contact us to see how
we can help to save you moneys on your networking needs.
WAN (Wide Area
Network) In the
light of falling prices of hardware and emerging technologies,
it has never been cheaper to implement a WAN in order to connect two
or more LANs (in different locations) together. In
the past, it was more expensive to have a quality WAN because of
the cost of a dedicated line. Today, it is cost effective
and secure to implement a WAN using the Internet as the
communication means while deploying VPN (Virtual Private
Networks) technologies which will ensure data is secure by means
of encryption. Using broadband Internet connection (e.g.
ADSL) which most offices would already have, the cost of
connection is almost none. 
With
a WAN, a corporate office can easily access the data of its
branch office(s) or vice versa. The PCs in all the offices
can communicate with one another as though they were all located
in the same office. It is therefore possible to have all
accounting data in one central location so that the consolidated
financial data is always updated. All other kinds of data
files can also be shared among the offices. |
