We can handle every stage of your networking project, from planning through to the finished network. Our experience and expertise means we know the best equipment to use and how to get the most out of it. We will install, test and configure the network to give you a turnkey solution; or if all you need is a patch lead linked up - then that's what we'll do.
Servers - Adding a dedicated server to your network provides a central point for important office functions such as backups, file storage, email/Internet sharing and fax sharing. One of the greatest benefits of a server is that it helps avoid office downtime. If a workstation breaks down for any reason, the user can transfer to any other workstation and continue. If none are available, the machine can be replaced with minimal disruption, as important file information will have been stored on the server.
Resource sharing - By networking your computer systems correctly you can avoid doubling up on items such as printers and scanners. All the computers will be able to use all of the devices.
BroadBand/Internet access - Once machines are networked, the Internet can be shared as well. With the addition of specialised software, email can be kept within the physical boundaries of the building and become almost instant.
Time saving - Information on one computer can become instantly accessible to other machines without having to manually copy to disk and reload on another machine.
Efficient - One machine can manage backups for the entire network. Programs can be installed or updated throughout the network without having to go from machine to machine.
Security - Just because information is central, it doesn't mean that it's accessible to any user. Access to selected files and information can be restricted to authorised users only, on an individual basis.
Data backups
Do you have mission critical data that you want to keep safe. Making a backup of your computer files is one of the most important functions that you'll ever ask your computer to do. The trouble is, that for nine out of ten users the only time this function will be tested is when the unthinkable happens and a backup is actually required.
Our technicians can advise on and install the most reliable backup equipment to suit your needs. Ranging from a simple floppy drive to an 8mm Tape Backup unit, Computers R Us technicians can help install the appropriate hardware and show you how to use it.
Zip Drive - The Iomega Zip drive is an ideal solution for smaller backups of files, and can easily be carried from machine to machine. While a Zip drive is not intended as a substitute for a good tape backup, often it is all that smaller users require.
CD-R Drives - CDR drives are a cheap, fast and reliable way to backup and store precious data. CDR drives also give you the added functionality of being able to take your back with you and using it on any PC with a CD-ROM drive.
Tape Drives - We can install 8mm drives to perform large data backups for archival. 8mm drives delivers value, performance and reliability for servers, workstations and networks.
