Local Area Network Design
and setup
Network Doctor are specialists
in designing and setting up local area networks (LANs) which enable
businesses to make more efficient use of their IT investment. A properly
built computer network allows companies to share data, printers, calendars,
contact databases or applications easily and automatically. This means every
member of staff always has access to the very latest information either
locally or remotely depending on the network configuration.
The fast spread of broadband
Internet access (ADSL, SDSL, DSL, CABLE and Satellite) is opening up the
network support options available to many more businesses. As more and more
businesses switch to broadband and realize the benefits of a computer
network, the more the need for IT support and network maintenance will be.
Network Doctor technicians will
be able to extend the usability and efficiency of your existing network by
setting up a VPN or 'virtual private network' or adding wireless capability
for mobile or laptop users or in areas of the building where wiring is
difficult or just impossible. We will certainly look after security of your
wired or wireless network making sure no intrusion or security breach is
possible. |
What IS
LOCAL AREA NETWORK?
The most common type of network
is local area network or LAN. This can vary from a simple connection between
2 PCs in the same room to a very complex connection joining hundreds of PCs,
printers, hubs, and routers in a vast building. It is said to be "Local"
when all of the facilities taking part on the network are on a single site.
Most small business enterprises (SMEs) will be looking for something
relatively simple to allow them to share a broadband internet connection,
several PCs and 2 or 3 printers. Network Doctor will help small-to-medium
size businesses set up a network with just 10-to-60 PCs as well as having
the ability and capacity to design and implement a complex network
infrastructure with network support management and monitoring tools ready in
place to maintain and support it. With many years of qualified experience at
hand, Network Doctor can take complete ownership of any IT project from
assessing your specific needs to the full installation and configuration of
your servers and desktops.
The choice of the type of
network you require depends on a number of factors. We will offer you full
consultancy in identifying your technology requirements based on the
specific business objectives you want to achieve. There are a few basic
things that need to be taken into account in any given business:
-
Your
company size; i.e. premises, number of staff, PCs, printers, etc.
-
Business processes; your
industry, the way you run your operation, staff mobility and product
lines
-
Your aims & objectives; what
it is you want to achieve with a network
-
Physical characteristics;
whether you work in one location or several locations spread over
distances
-
Timescale; whether you have
deadlines to meet
You can rest assured that

considerations and risks involved in delivering a successful network
implementation. Our network services are flexible and designed for
