Computer Networks
Computer networking is nothing more that hooking two or more computers together. It can be done cheaply and easily with almost any computer. This allows you to make the best use out of older systems and add new ones easily. Sharing things like files, printers, scanners, and DVD/CD burners is just the beginning of the list.
Go Wireless! - These days there is no need to be tied down by network cables. Use a laptop anywhere you want and still surf the web and connect to your files and printers.
Connect to the Internet - Share one Internet connection with multiple computers. Works with DSL, cable, broadband or dial-up modems.
Connect to each other - Share files between people, departments, or businesses.
Connect to a server - Expand your capabilities.
Network Servers
If your business is growing and you need to move to a more robust system, then a network server might be right for you. A server can provide central resources and security for your whole network. Sharing files and securing them is a snap. Storage can be expanded to meet your plans, never run out of disk space. You won't be subject to hardware failure such as a disk crash either. Servers are made to withstand that and recover with out losing a beat, critical in any business.
You don't need to be a Fortune 500 company to take advantage of a server's power. Servers can be affordable to the smallest one-person operation. Make the most of your network.
Daily backups - Protects against physical damage to computers, damaged files, and accidentally deleted files.
Fault-tolerant hardware - Multiple hard drives and power supplies protect against hardware damage and power failures.
Dedicated computing power - Run more complex applications on the server to reduce the load on your PC.
Share and secure files - Make it so the people who need to use files, can, and those who shouldn't, don't have a chance.
