	Testimonials "I just wanted to thank you for what was one of the best customer experiences I have ever had.... This was the first time I used Computron and your tech Danny was incredibly knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. I tend to ask a lot of questions and he was both very accommodating and knew all the answers...next time I need help (hopefully not too soon!), please send Danny....Thank you so much." Brian Nash - Tipp Town " Thanks for your help. You and Sarah are such nice people to deal with! " Joe McNamara - Kilkenny City "When we were looking for an internal communication vehicle, Computron recommended Microsoft’s SharePoint program as our Intranet. This recommendation has saved ton's of money and time for both of my companies. Our communication process is standardised and managed internally - everyone is always up to date and productive."

Servers

Server Support

Today's high performance servers are far more reliable than the servers of the past. Some servers can go months at a time without requiring even a simple reboot. With that type of reliability, it is easy for a server to disappear into the background of your business. That is, until something goes wrong. At Computron, we provide numerous services for your small business server needs. From routine maintenance to emergency after-hours repairs, our certified technicians we'll be there to provide reliable and affordable support.

Blackberry offers software as well for a nominal licensing fee.

Data Protection

Data Protection is a very important part of any server deployment. The proper antivirus software must be installed prior to going online, and a strong data backup plan must be initiated as well. At Computron, we offer different services to keep your data safe in the event of a server failure.

Server Deployment

A server deployment requires proper planning to ensure as little downtime as possible and to maximise your return on your investment. Especially in the case of a Windows Small Business Server deployment. Without proper planning, you could easily run into a game changing situation after 80% of the work had been completed. Although Windows Small Business Server is marketed as a product that anyone with some computer knowledge can setup, there is a whole lot of external work that needs to be completed before an SBS is ready to go live.

Server Types

There are many different roles a server can play in your organisation. Below is a list of some of the most popular:

Application Server: An application server runs a specific application, program, or database to be accessed by multiple client computers. If you have a centralised application like QuickBooks or practice management software, the computer hosting the application is fulfilling an application server role.

File Server: A file server is a computer that stores files for access remotely. It has largely been replaced by NAS (Network Attached Storage) in small to medium businesses due to the simplicity and cost benefits.

Print Server: A print server provides a central point to share and access multiple printers from. This type of server is generally used in large organisations to consolidate print queues and simplify adding and troubleshooting client-side printer issues.

Domain Controller: The domain controller manages security of the network domain. User accounts and access permissions are all stored here. In a Windows 2000, 2003, or 2008 domain, the domain controllers hosts Active Directory.

Exchange Server: An Exchange server is Microsoft’s email server that stores and directs the flow of email throughout the organisation. It is the backend to your Microsoft Outlook clients.

DNS Server: A DNS server matches domain names to IP addresses. Whenever you type an address into your browser’s address bar, that information is sent to your computer’s DNS server; which returns an IP address. It is that IP address that your computer uses to find the web server hosting the website you requested.

DHCP Server: A DHCP server listens for requests for IP addresses, then assigns and tracks those IP’s. In most small businesses this functionality is picked up by the router.

Web Server: A web server is designed to host a website either internally on the LAN or externally on the internet.

Microsoft Small Business Server: Microsoft’s Small Business Server (SBS) is a product offering all of the server roles listed above into one package. It is designed to provide the small business a scalable server solution that will full fill its server needs for the foreseeable future.
