Computer systems networking

As soon as you have two or more computers you will probably want to connect them together with a network, whether to share files or services, such as internet access or a shared printer. We can assist you in everything from a small home network to a large wired (or wireless) office.

Local, wide area and wireless networking

No matter how large or small your office, home office or domestic set-up, cbrody.com has a solution to fit your needs.

Small office / Home office

Often the most convenient and cost-effective solution for a small office is a wireless one. This will allow you to use desktop, laptop and compatible handheld computers wherever you wish within your home or office. Depending on a number of factors, devices can be used within a hundred metres or so from the access point, making wireless networking suitable for a wide range of setups.

The latest wireless computing standard (IEEE 802.11g) is reliable, fast, secure and quick to set up. A wireless network can be installed and configured at a very reasonable cost and gives you the freedom that a wired LAN can't.

Medium to large office

If you wish to install or upgrade an office network, or multiple offices requiring a secure high-bandwidth WAN connection, we can help. cbrody.com has extensive experience in wide-area networking and switched telephony, and can help you save money on phone calls at the same time using VOIP technology.

ISP services

We offer a full range of Internet connectivity services including:

• dial up, broadband or fixed-line access
• Web hosting, with cgi and database set-up if required
• Your own domain name
  With your own registered domain (yourcompany.com, yourcompany.co.uk, etc.) you get a website URL and unlimited email addresses, yours to keep as long as you like. There's no need to change email addresses when you change provider.

Security

With a cbrody.com solution your security concerns are paramount. We offer a range of security measures including packet filtering, firewalls and secure servers. Additionally we can advise on setting up a backup regime to ensure that your valuable data is not lost due to a system malfunction or hardware failure.

Planning, installation and configuration

Even the smallest networking project benefits from a project plan that ensures that your requirements are fully defined before work begins. No project is considered complete until you are fully satisfied that the work has been carried out according to your requirements. See project management for more information.
