F.A.Q.
Frequent Questions
How can I improve the reliability of my network?
To enhance the speed and reliability of your LAN network, start by upgrading your network hardware, such as switches and cables, to support higher data transfer rates. Implement Quality of Service (QoS) settings to prioritise critical traffic, ensuring smoother performance for essential applications. Regularly update firmware and drivers, perform network optimisations, and monitor network traffic to identify and address any bottlenecks or issues promptly. Designing your network before deploying technology also goes a long way to ensure it is optimal and can grow as your business grows.
What is the best storage solution for my needs?
The best storage solution for your needs depends on factors such as your data volume, accessibility requirements, budget, and scalability. If you prioritise accessibility and collaboration, a cloud storage solution like Google Drive or Dropbox might be ideal. Alternatively, for larger-scale storage with control over security and customisation, consider a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device. If data mobility and redundancy are crucial, a combination of cloud storage and on-premises backup solutions could offer the best of both worlds. It’s essential to assess your specific requirements carefully before selecting the most suitable storage solution.
How do I recover lost data/files?
It’s important to note that the success of file recovery depends on various factors, such as the extent of the data loss, the duration since the files were deleted, and the condition of the storage device. Additionally, it’s crucial to avoid writing new data to the affected storage device until the lost files have been recovered, as this could overwrite the deleted data and make recovery more difficult or impossible. You can contact us as we specialise in recovering data from damaged or corrupted storage devices and may have more advanced tools and techniques at our disposal to assist.
How can I ensure my network is safe and secure?
Use strong passwords on your wireless networks with network encryption (WPA2 or WPA3). Always change the default settings on your routers and switches. Implement network segmentation and divide your network with VLANs to isolate different areas of your network. Use a Firewall to monitor and protect your outgoing and incoming network traffic. Disable WPS and monitor your network for any unusual activity or threats.
