Computer network out-of-control? OUTSOURCE.
Outsourcing computer network support and IT services is the most commonly sought-after professional business service among growing small and mid-sized companies.
Why? Because technology has continually improved over the last 20 years, many businesses have found they don’t need a full-time, in-house IT staff to satisfy their computer support needs.
Businesses must carefully allocate their resources, and many have found it hard to justify the salary of a full-time network engineer when outsourcing this skill on an as-needed basis is so much more efficient.
Worried that outsourcing IT services means hiring an overseas company and off-shoring jobs? This isn’t necessarily the case because the best IT services are provided by local, established, fully-qualified professional IT companies that can offer support via phone, online and on-site when you want it. read more…
A server is a device on a network that manages network resources. Most commonly we mean a specialized computer on a network, but there are other types of servers, too.
Servers can be dedicated to just one function, such as storing and managing shared files, managing print jobs for one or more printers on the network, housing a database, or running specific computer programs. A server can also be used for more than one of these or other functions.
The most common use for a server in the small business environment is as a dedicated file server. Unlike a desktop computer, a dedicated server is built to withstand the additional performance demands of managing, storing and sending data 24-hours-per day. A small business server must be incredibly reliable under these circumstances, and it will typically have specialized hardware and software that you won’t find in a conventional desktop computer. read more…
UK-based Sophos, an IT security company, notes on its blog a couple of recent scams making their way around Facebook.
Don’t fall for a current Facebook trend that promises to give you a custom pink or red facebook profile page. It’s a scam!
However, if you see your friends’ profile pictures have acquired a pink tinge, and they’re inviting you to do it, too, that’s not a scam. It’s a legitimate Breast Cancer awareness app.
Always get your security advice from a legitimate IT company – don’t believe everything you see on Facebook or other social media!
