OceanWeb Systems - Network Design

Network design is becoming a vital component in the business environment. Poor design can lead to unnecessary downtime which, ultimately, could mean the difference between meeting and breaching deadlines.

Should you opt for a Peer-to-Peer network or the more expensive Client-Server arrangement? Each have their merits and shortcomings. Contact us to discuss in detail exactly what your company requirements are.

If you were to choose a Client-Server structure, it's a relatively minor step to implement an Intranet (internal internet). This can increase the flow of information around an office whilst still keeping track of all relevant files. Timesheets, Memos, Project and Sales Reports can all be encompassed by a solid Intranet.

With all networks there is a security risk, whether you are connected to the Internet or not! It is clear that not every file on your system should be accessible by every employee. A sound network design should ensure this. However, see also our Surveillance section for more information.
