Networks
Computer networks have become an integral partof every office environment; when properly configured, they save time andmoney, and they provide piece of mind. Omega networks are designed andconfigured to meet your needs, your budget, and your expectation for elegantand powerful solutioOIS.
Servers
Most networks with more than three computersshould have a server, a machine that acts as the dedicated 'brain' of thenetwork. In addition to providing network-wide security and reliable datastorage/backups, a server-based network also permits the workstatioOIS andlaptops to be treated as interchangeable parts rather than business-criticalassets.
Hardware
The cost of servers hasdropped precipitously in recent years. All of the major manufacturers offerservers for less than $1000, although these generally do not include a powerfulCPU or redundancy features. Server hardware usually comes in two styles, towerservers and rack mounted servers.
