KEEPING YOU CONNECTED

Through our networking services we can help you build a new office computer system from the ground up, re-configure your office to accommodate growth, or ensure offsite workers have access to your internal computer network. Our certified technicians understand the latest technologies that will help you get the most from your systems.


Internal Networking

Good business depends on good communication. Integral to your business successful day-to-day operation is an intelligently connected system of machines that can communicate reliably and is immediately responsive to the users who need it.

The PC Manager will create an internal network of linked machines that speak with the speed and immediacy that your business demands. Besides user-to-user interfaces, internal networking is also how your computers connect to other hardware such as printers. Your internal network can be linked via Ethernet cables, or set up to communicate wirelessly, depending on your needs and preferences.

Through internal networking, we can help you install, troubleshoot or repair your existing:

  •  switches to ensure your information is routed correctly

  •  network settings so your computers can access servers, printers and the internet

  •  printer setups so they connect to the right set of computers

  •  routers to connect to the internet via wires or wirelessly

Our technicians will assess your needs, set out a plan, then build an internal network that stores and recalls the documents you need, keeping a secure, free flow of information between employees and their internal departments. The PC Manager maintains the most modern standards of Gbit/s speed and incorporates these standards into the design of your companies local area network, or LAN.

What would happen if your internal network stopped working? How much would your productivity increase if your internal network were working more efficiently? Get in touch and we can help you streamline your present system, or plan and implement a brand new one.

 

Cabling

Typically, an installer will run voice and data cables through the walls or ceilings of your facility, linking individual workstations with patch panels in your server room and telephone closet. The technicians at The PC Manager neatly store and precisely label cables so they can be indentified easily should a problem arise. Once we have completed the project, we will carefully test the wiring and components to ensure that every workstation and wireless hub has a fast, clear connection to your network.

Installing broadband systems like LANs and WANs requires sophisticated cabling and the potential for cable clutter. Your inside wiring is most likely the largest and most complicated portion of your network cabling, and the greatest probable source of building code violations and fire hazards if it is not properly and carefully installed. That is why we focus at every step of the IT installation process on optimizing the number and placement of your cables. We can also help you prepare for future technological advances, or the evolution of your own system, by instituting a wire management system that makes it easy to pinpoint where cables are running throughout your facility.

As professional voice and data networks are some of the most challenging cabling systems to install, you will require the up-to-date training of our skilled team of technicians to know what is what and where it is located.

We know that as a business owner your peace of mind is built upon a safe and dependable infrastructure. At PC Manager, we make sure even the relatively invisible footprint of your cabling is properly installed and diligently organized to form a solid, dependable foundation for connecting you to the outside world.

Bring us in to help with your next installation, upgrade or to discuss how we can help make a new system integration run as smoothly as possible.

 

Wide Area Networks (WAN)

To save costs on infrastructure, more and more businesses are allowing employees to work remotely. Other businesses are operating with a flex staff to cut down on costs of providing benefits to a full-time work force that you may not need every hour of the work week. To facilitate such innovations, these businesses and others need to connect multiple remote locations securely. This configuration, called a Wide Area Network, or WAN, covers a broad area, allowing you to share servers between locations based around a central email server connection.

When your business requires a WAN, we will establish it as a private network that never crosses through the public Internet, ensuring you a secure solution that will deliver the performance and power you need for a diverse array of applications, including video surveillance, point of sale, Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, and more. When establishing your VoIP phone system we will utilize your WAN to allow direct dialing between branches.

Having a WAN does not mean you will be without Internet access. Rather, your access will be more targeted and secure. Remote users will access your server with a secure connection to get email, retrieve files, etc. When users need to access the public Internet, a single firewall will protect every location, centralizing security management and making it easy to know that all your locations are safe and protected. Now you won't have to worry about coordinating firewall updates, saving you time and money across your network.

We will design your WAN using low-cost DSL circuits so you have the lowest possible cost per location while ensuring optimal performance. We establish nationwide coverage to your locations with a powerful internet access to allow users to surf with the speed and power they need.

When you need to expand your business across the country or into a new, more flexible structure, let us know and we will be happy to help you create a Wide Area Network you can rely on to perform powerfully and keep your information and traffic secure.
