As a PC network grows, its connections can slow and become unreliable. Diagnosing problems with printing, file and drive sharing, and user privileges can be difficult on unplanned computer networks. Once a network grows beyond a few computers, good planning (or lack thereof) becomes evident to its users.
Maintaining high performance on networks is an art that requires that the network planner understand network hardware and network protocols. Simply plugging components into a network will often work, but result in unnecessary network congestion that slows down everyone. (The secret to a speedy network is to transmit the necessary packets -- and no others -- on each segment. On poorly planned networks, superfluous packets, packet collisions, dropped packets, and retranmitted packets "clog the pipes" and reduce everyone's speed.)
If you have a PC network of up to ten or so PCs, your computer network is probably at the point where it needs structure to support further growth. I'm not interested in selling hardware. I help you over this hurdle while minimizing your expenditure. I provide:
In most cases, little or no new hardware need be purchased: instead, we rationalize the deployment of existing assets.
