Computer Network Solutions

Atomik.biz designs and installs computer networks for small and medium-sized businesses. We supply robust and secure wired and wireless networks ( WiFi ) and business-class Internet connections.

Networking is the sharing of resources. These resources can be files, phones, printers, databases, contacts, computers, wireless access points, the Internet and many other business objects.

Network components

Most computer networks use a combination of technologies. Local connectivity is usually a combination of wired and wireless networks, and both technologies have benefits and downsides. Wired networks are faster, more secure, and the best choice for desktop equipment in a stable office environment. The downside is the cost of installing a wired network.

Wireless networks are necessary for mobile devices and convenient for laptop computers. The downside is the cost of maintaining security and coverage problems.

Business Benefits

• Sharing data allows multiple users to cooperate on projects and be able to access team documents in real time. The alternative is having multiple versions of data on various machines leading to inefficiency and version control problems.
• Backing up centrally held data is more straightforward and reduces costs.
• Allowing controlled remote access to company data
• Sharing printers means having a small number of quality printers used by many users. Sharing printers lowers support requirements, saves office space and reduces costs.
• Better control of network resources reduces costs and improves security
• Lowering costs by sharing resources both locally and between business locations

Efficient sharing of Internet connections is a significant benefit to business owners. Atomik.biz recommends having fault-tolerant Internet connections. A typical scenario is having two good-quality Internet connections connected to a single router. When one link fails, the router will automatically use the other connection. While both connections are working, the business will benefit from the higher performance of load balancing the traffic over both links.
