Network Setup: 3 Simple Tips that Make a Big Difference.





1) Use Enterprise Grade Equipment

Don’t compromise on your networks! It can be quite tempting to purchase inferior quality equipment at the tone of saving costs. This cost cutting tactic can come back to haunt you however and lead you into even deeper expense.


Investing in enterprise grade and industry compliant hardware reduces the risk of connection problems throughout the network and ensures reliable communications among users. Enterprise grade equipment also includes some advanced features such as intrusion detection, anti-spam, anti-virus features and the ability to configure Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) which allows users to have a secure connection to the network from remote locations.


2) Ensure Scalability

As business growth occurs there becomes the need to add features and functions as needed, therefore invest in a network which can grow over time. Some features to consider for the future include video surveillance and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) systems.


3) Secure Your Network

Network security is just as important as proper network configuration. Some simple steps to follow include changing the default administrator password on the router, enabling the firewall function of the router and turning on wireless encryption. The network equipment should also be stored in a secured IT facility which can only be accessed by authorized personnel.
