LAN (Local Area Network) design,
implementation and maintenance
Well functioning networks got that way due to a well
planned design and installation. They stay that way with some
timely maintenance. The faster and more direct data can move
across your network, the more efficiently your office will
function. Therefore saving you time and money.
New server
installations and upgrades
Installing a new server does not have to be a nightmare. When
done right, it can be a near transparent change. However, that
transparent change provides a wealth of advantages and
additional avenues for your company to expand and thrive.
Installing a server also adds layers of redundancy to help
protect your data against hardware failure, accidental deletion,
theft, fire, flood, vandalism, sabotage and natural disasters.
This is done by implementing redundant hardware and backup
solutions.
Upgrading a server can also add benefits and save on the overall
expenditure required. By installing larger hard drive you can
expand the amount of available store and increase data access
times. Adding additional RAM can increase the overall
performance of your current server. Installing a faster network
card can also increase network performance by allowing a great
flow of data to, and from, your server.
Internet security solutions,
including firewalls and VPN
The Internet is a great
resource for information, support and leisure. However, it is
also a great resource for those who wish to cause your business
harm. With the advent of the Internet an entirely new breed of
criminal element was created. The Internet acts as a conduit to
the vast resources available along with proving a criminal
access to your network.
Implementing Internet security protocols and needed hardware and
software solutions is your best defense against those
undesirable elements. A physical firewall appliance can help
provide added layers of needed security to any network at a very
modest price point.
By taking the needed steps now, you can guard your network
against future losses. Being proactive is the best advise we can
provide when it comes to Internet security. You do not want to
find out the hard way that your current security measure, or the
lack thereof, have cost you invaluable data and time. If you
have any doubts, questions or just want to confirm that your
network is secure,
contact us for a security
audit.

Business Anti-virus
Viruses can
wreck havoc on your business. Viruses can be designed to cause a
multitude of problems including data deletion, corrupt files,
record keystrokes, allow unauthorized access to your computer,
send emails using your information, and prevent your computer
from booting at all. Viruses usually proliferate by infecting
other computers on the network and eventually cause dreaded
downtime.
Harwood

falling prey to viruses. If you access the Internet in any way,
you are at risk of acquiring a virus. Our anti-virus solutions
will help protect you from today’s threats.
Removing
viruses once your network has been infected can be challenging;
however, we have superior tools to help us cleanse your computer
of the unwanted menace.
Anti-spam Solutions
Spyware is
computer
software that is installed on a
personal
computer to intercept or take partial control over
the user's interaction with the computer, without the user's
informed
consent.
Spyware frequently performs certain behaviors such as
advertising, or it may collect personal information or change
the configuration of your computer. Spyware and other unwanted
software can invade your privacy, inundate your computer with
pop-up windows, and even make your computer crash.
Harwood
Consulting understands how this negatively affects business.
Our Network Engineers have the expertise to protect your systems
against spyware, and other unwanted software. Although it is
much easier to prevent spyware than to remove it, we also
utilize advanced tools to remove them.
