In today’s business environment, having to add multiple
hard drives to your computer to store all of your necessary
files and programs can get very expensive. Another option,
that could save you time and money, is implementing a form
of network storage into your company. Instead of having to
upgrade hard drives in each individual computer, you can
dedicate one computer or one device to handle all of your
storage needs. We offer several different methods of implementing
this efficient and cost effective strategy.
|
|
The first method of adding extra storage is by using
a file server. A file server is a computer that is placed
on your network that can be accessed by everyone on that
network. Adding and Accessing files from a storage server
is as simple as using the hard drive on your own computer.
A file server is an excellent method for storing e-mail,
word processing documents, and financial data. A file server
is also a good way to store setup files for software that
can be installed over a network.

The second method that you can use to increase storage
capacity is by adding a network hard drive. A network hard
drive is plugged into your network and can be accessible
by anyway on the network. Unlike a file server, which requires
a computer to operate, a network hard drive is a stand-alone
device. Because of this the network hard drive solution
is the cheapest method. Using a network hard drive is very
easy. You can simply transfer files of any kind to the
hard drive just like you would normally do for a hard drive
that’s in your computer. |

The last method we offer is the implementation of NAS.
Network attached storage is not a server and can be placed
anywhere in your network. NAS simply delivers data to anyone
requesting the data. NAS would be a good solution if adding
hard drives to your server isn’t an option, but you
want to have more room to store information. All of our
NAS equipment is from the Linksys product line. They offer
many different NAS devices. Some of the devices even have
extra bays to add additional hard drives if you ever run
out of space. |
