The Magic of Networking

Networking has transformed business over the past few decades allowing seamless integration between users in an office, different departments, nationwide subsidiaries and partners, and even internationally.

Other than allowing for fast and secure communications, networks also allow the many employees in an organisation to share common IT facilities such as high speed internet, network drives and printers.

Using routers, a single broadband connection can be shared among hundreds of users each allocated an IP address.

Network drives permit all users on the network (with sufficient security clearance) to access resources on a central hard drive or drives. These enables creative collaboration and ensures all the company’s data is stored in one central location.

Finally, the days when each computer had to be connected to its own printer are long gone. Nowadays printing is usually done over a network, often a wireless one. When an user prints a document, the process is put into a queue and executed as soon a free printer becomes available.

Getting the Most from your Networks

Installing network infrastructure is a major investment so you want to be sure you’re getting maximum value and use from your system.
