Microsoft Windows and Windows Server
Unless you rely solely on Macs, the chances are you have a number of computers with Microsoft Windows. If your machines are still using Windows XP, it has now reached its End-of-Life, which means it will not be updated by Microsoft any more and will soon become vulnerable to viruses and other threats. We can supply the latest version of Windows if you require an upgrade, or alternatively, all our new machines are supplied with Windows pre-installed. Have a look at our hardware pages to find out more.
If you haven't yet discovered Windows Server, your business is in for a treat. Windows Server lets your office PCs work in ways that make things more efficient, secure, and just plain "easy". The abilities of Windows Server are far too numerous to list here, but some of the key things it could do for you include:
- Centralised password management, with enforced policies for changing them every so often, and account lockouts if someone else gets a user's password wrong a number of times. Also, quickly revoke passwords for ex-employees, or set up new users just as easily.Centralised user and account management. Your users can log on to any PC in your network, and still have the same files and settings. This means hot-desking is easily achieved, which is great for companies who don't have enough desk space for their staff.
- Automated backup of users' files, to multiple places including Network Storage or Cloud Storage.Shared file storage, with customisable access policies, so the CEO gets to see everything, while the Marketing department isn't allowed access to the Financial department's files, and so on.
- Remote Access to files, emails, printers etc, so your staff needn't lose touch while on the road.
- Automated Windows security updates, so your PCs are always up to date.
- A central place for Sophos Antivirus to manage your network, or for Microsoft Exchange server to provide email services to your office.
