The Advantages of Setting up Networks
If your business uses more than three computer workstations and multiple printers, it is time to install a network. Networks facilitate efficient collaboration between employees, better use of resources, centralized administration and centralized backups. Network implementations are not easy nor are they inexpensive, but the productivity, security and stability benefits are enough to justify moving ahead.
Shared Resources
Networks allow your employees to share printers, scanners, fax machines, copiers and Internet connections. This allows you to purchase one printer rather than five, saving you the purchase price as well as the ongoing maintenance costs. A shared Internet connection allows you to control Internet access with a firewall or a proxy server, protecting your company from liability due to employee misuse.
Centralized Administration
Most businesses require at least one computer just to track business records and manage work. When the number of computers grows to five or 10, it becomes difficult to manage the user credentials on the individual stations. A server-based network facilitates centralized administration of user IDs and passwords, which enhances the security of your computing assets and data. You can also implement centralized policy management, ensuring that employees are only able to access the data that they need to access to perform their jobs.
Efficiency and Collaboration
Networks make it far easier for employees to share information and collaborate on work. Carrying papers from office to office, or even a portable storage device of some kind is just not as efficient as storing the information on a centralized server for access by all who are authorized to access it. This can speed up project delivery and enhance the creativity of your team.
Centralized Storage and Backups
If you have ever lost data due to a computer crash, you are aware of the importance of a good backup strategy. You cannot be sure that all critical data on standalone workstations is backed up on a regular basis. Networks allow you to store the data centrally and ensure that all critical data gets backed up on a pre-determined schedule. You can automate the procedure so that no user intervention is involved other than an operator checking the logs each day.
Remote Access
If you want to give your employees the opportunity to telecommute, or work from home, you can use a network to facilitate remote access. This allows anyone with a user ID and password on your network to establish a link to your network from the comfort of his own home. This can be particularly helpful for support personnel who get calls for help in the middle of the night. Be sure you use a virtual private network, or VPN, for remote connectivity to provide adequate security for your internal networks.
