Networking allows for ease of information sharing by linking systems so that they can interact with one another. It means that computers can transmit data within the same network and share resources such as printers, files and software programs. There are a number of options available including Local Area Networks (LANs), Wide Area Networks (WANs) and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).
Local Area Network (LAN)
If your network operates on a single site, Xperta will deploy a local area network. This is usually based on Ethernet technology, connecting your computers to one another and to local devices such as your printers and servers. As LANs operate in a small geographical area, the use of leased telecommunication lines are not required. Ethernet is relatively inexpensive, easy to set up and use, as well as being very fast. We will implement you LAN network to ensure scalability for whenever it needs to be expanded.
Wireless LAN
Many businesses are now embracing wireless networking because of the convenience and flexibility that it offers. Wireless LANs allow users to access network resources in real-time from most locations within their network environment. This mobility supports productivity and service opportunities not possible with wired networks. Wireless networks can serve a sudden increase in the number of staff and also give you the ability to provide guest access to people visiting the office, such as clients and suppliers.
Wide Area Network (WAN)
A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a data network that can cover a broad geographic area, from one city to another or even across countries, usually via transmission facilities such a telecommunication lines. WAN systems are essentially used to connect LANs and other types of networks together, so that a group of offices, for example, can communicate with one another.
Virtual Private Networking (VPN)
The way people work today has changed drastically within the last decade or so. Businesses are a lot more mobile and internationally focussed and with some companies having facilties spread across the country or even around the world, it is important that their employees have a way of communicating with one another from wherever they are, in a fast, secure and reliable way. VPN is private networking that usually uses the Internet to connect remote sites or uers together. A VPN uses a "virtual" connection routed through the Internet from the company's private network to the remote site or employee.
Xperta works with global vendors to deploy networks to suit all requirements, so whether you are a small ten user company needing a simple network, or a large corporate wanting something more complex, we work closely with you to ensure you have the right structure for your needs.
