Most companies rely heavily on computers to operate their business.
Almost always these computers are networked in some fashion. The advantages
are obvious. It allows the sharing of company data, the sharing of resources
such as printers and internet connections, and an easy means of internal
communication.
For a starting business, this is often a simple hub connecting their
machines. However, as a business grows, the network often becomes more complex. Issues
arise such as controlling access to sensitive data, what type of network
topology to use, what type of servers to use, how to backup and safeguard
company data, how to plan for growth and load balancing concerns, how to
secure wireless segments, and how to secure internet access.
Hollywood System Solutions™ has over 15 years experience in
planning, building, and maintaining company networks. We can assist you in
any phase of your network's lifecycle, from planning and design, to upgrades
and replacement, ensuring the network you invest in is robust, reliable, scalable, and
secure.
Network Systems
As your business grows, your
computer network quite often becomes an increasingly
vital part of your company's infrastructure. The loads placed on it
increase, and the technology becomes more complex. The need for a plan
becomes critical to the sustained expansion of the enterprise. Many companies
are the most vulnerable to failure during periods of high growth. Capital
expenditure decisions must be made in accordance with a well designed and
executed plan.
Just as you must plan for and control your companies growth, you must
also plan for the growth of your computer network. Knowing ahead of time what your
future network needs will be and what they will cost is a crucial element of
a viable business plan.
Hollywood System Solutions™ will work with you to design a
network system that will fit your company and grow as an integral part of your business plan.
Our years of experience can help you avoid the unforeseen costs and
limitations of a poorly designed system.
Scalability
Your investment in your company's
network is a substantial one, both in terms of capital expenditure, and
resource allocation involved in the deployment and employee training. As
any business owner, you expect a solid return on your investment. A
network with a short lifecycle is not a sound investment. To maximize a
system's lifecycle, your network should be scalable; in other words, it
should be able to grow with your business.
Hollywood System Solutions™
can help you design and implement a
company network that is easily expandable as your business grows and your
network loads increase. After assessing both your current and planned future
needs, we will work with you to develop a system that meets your current
requirements and budget, while being scalable for future growth.
Servers
If your
corporate network is the lifeblood of your business, then your server is
the heart of the system. Just as an athlete or race horse depends on a
strong heart to perform at their best, your network needs a robust and
reliable server to keep operations flowing at an optimum pace.
Today's choices of servers seem endless. However, which one, and in what
configuration is right for your business? Too small, and your network becomes
bottle-necked at the server. Too large, and precious resources are wasted
that could be better spent elsewhere. The loads placed on a server are as varied as the networks they support.
But in all cases, they are far different than those placed on a workstation.
Because your server is charged with the safe keeping and controlled
distribution of your all important company data, features such as redundancy
and fault tolerance are the order of the day.
Hollywood System Solutions™ can help you plan for and procure the
server best suited for your business requirements. We can handle setup,
deployment, and management tasks, as well as migration of existing systems
and data to the new server. We can also accomplish this with minimal down
time or disruption of workflow, ensuring your business operations continue
uninterrupted.
Workstations
A computer workstation is the principle point of interaction between your
employees and the company network. How smooth that interaction is can be a
major factor in how well your employees adapt to your business systems and
can be a great influence on both employee productivity and job satisfaction.
Not all workstations are created equal, nor should they be. Workstations
should be designed and built for the tasks they are required to perform. A
workstation that is used simply for data entry does not need the number
crunching power of one used for preparing financial statements or corporate
budgets. A workstation used for the creation of company graphics and
literature will have entirely different work loads and should be designed
with components to meet those loads.
Hollywood System Solutions™ can aid you in designing and
procuring workstations tailored specifically for the different tasks in your
organization. The benefits of designing workstations for their intended
tasks can be enormous. Buying workstations built for the lowest common
denominator will impede the productivity of those employees with higher work
loads. Similarly, buying for the highest common denominator wastes precious
company capital. An additional benefit is that when a machine used for a
higher load such as accounting reaches the end of it's lifecycle, it may be
utilized as an upgrade for a data entry workstation. So, purchasing one new
workstation actually upgrades two employees' equipment, saving the company
money and increasing productivity.
