If your computer network is suffering from growing pains and just cannnot keep up with increased traffic like it did when first installed, talk with us about your current situation. We offer many different solutions in all network environments. Let us help you with your network needs; from the smallest home setup to larger business networks.
Network Security
How safe is your business behind that $20.00 firewall you have installed? Many of our new business clients had never been told what a firewall does for them. Most saw their firewalls as a device only to share their internet. In reality, it does much more with its main purpose being to provide security for the network. This applies for users with one or two computers as well as for big businesses.
Firewall and Routers can do many other useful functions besides this as well. Your firewall and router is the gateway to the Internet and so its in a unique position to scan network usage, clean viruses, inhibit spam and even connect your office to your house (see our VPN section).
Importantly, too, they can restrict access to the internet from your employees. In reality do your minimum wage employees need full internet access? In reality they do NOT. We consistently see business machines come in for repair from spyware and viruses. These issues are typically caused by improper use of your expensive systems, such as illegal free music downloads and other nefarious activity. There are several different ways to combat this with different levels of access restrictions which can be placed on Internet accessed wireless networks with our clientele. Often a series of very inexpensive repeaters are set up or a few other access points from their local discount store. This is always a nightmare. In the end, it will almost always cost you more in additional service than setting it up properly to begin initially. We offer powerful access points and large antennas to meet your needs. For example, Cofex Computing recently installed a system where the user needed 20 plus cabins to have wireless access. One commercial grade antenna in the top of a pine tree solved a wireless problem the owner had been wrestling with for years.
REMOTE OFFICE VPNs (Virtual Privacy Networks)
Do you want to work from home on your office documents? Is that GoToMyPC.com commercial looking good to you? Then perhaps you're ready for a VPN, or Virtual Privacy Network. A VPN is an encrypted link between two physically remote points. Its safe, secure, and less expensive over time than products such as GoToMyPC.com. Ask us about solutions so you can work from out of the office anywhere in the world reliably and securely.
