Everyone has heard of terms like “Data Security” or “Barracuda Filters” or “Firewalls”…  We want to take a step back from the technical componets, and deal with the principle in general.  How much is your data worth?  If your company lost its customer database or one of its servers, would it last?  Studies have shown that93% of businesses who don’t have a disaster recovery plan in place and lose their data don’t stay in business for one year.

If you are looking for a computer technician in Las Vegas, the first thing you will want is someone who understands the business importance of a healthy network.  There are plenty of people out there who can plug in a new computer, set the permissions and have a network running fairly smoothly.  If you are dealing with a company like that, things will work fine until there is a real problem.

We suggest that you look for a computer technician in Las Vegas who will take protecting your data as seriously as they would protect their own data (or should).  Are they stopping malicious viruses from coming in?  Are they making sure the data can’t be stolen or corrupted by an angry employee?  Are they making sure there is a good off-site storage system in case there was a disaster?  Are they making sure that your drives and servers are in good shape and not dangerously close to completely crashing.

We work hard to be the best computer technicians in Las Vegas, so we hope if you don’t use us, you at least follow some of these basics tips.

We have all done it for a while, especially when first starting a new business.  We buy a computer or two, figure out a way to do a peer to peer network that works and then gradually add to that.  Maybe this is where you have been, but are quickly realizing this can be a costly method to keep up.  Have you considered a small business server to help with your computer costs?  Let’s look at this option really quickly.  Give us a call if you need ideas like this explained in plain English as we’d love to be your computer technician in Las Vegas!

Here are 3 ways having a small office server can help your business become more profitable and easier to manage.

  1. Less expensive IT computer help.  Do you call a computer technician in Las Vegas currently to come over and load applications on your machines or to fix drivers all the time?  With a small business server, you can run applications off the server and only have one load instead of 8 to 10 for the computer technician to do.
  2. Cheaper Office Space –  Suddenly what was once available only by coming in the office becomes available from remote locations if plugged in well.
  3. Better IT Security — If you computer technician in Las Vegas forgot to install virus software or plug in the firewalls the correct way in a normal computer, everything is at risk.  With a Server, you can install a central point of defense and make sure no unwanted intruders come in a back door quite easily!
