Frequently Asked Questions
What is Network Support?
Your IT network is almost invisible to you, until something goes wrong that is! Your IT network is what connects all your office devices together, it allows your computers/laptops to access the internet, and any server / onsite resources you use to.
On top of basic connectivity, a good business IT network will use permissions to restrict network access to only approved persons, as well as monitor and filter traffic, to stop any virus/malicious activity. Wired and WiFi connections often have redundant systems to avoid any disruption in your employees working day. Network support adjusts permissions and accesses as you see fit, keeps your devices up-to-date, and protected against the latest threats, and your network support actively updates and replaces equipment as new technology emerges that you should be taking advantage of.
Why is Network Support important?
Network Support ensures your devices are regularly updated as per the manufacturer and your compliance guidelines (monthly in some cases). Regular updates ensure any vulnerability to new threats is patched, and your products receive the latest new features (such as the latest WiFi encryption technology). Network support replaces old hardware and implements new technologies to help make your business more efficient and keeps you in the loop of new technology.
Network support will respond in real-time to any new threats or other issues/failures to keep your employees working and productive, helping your business avoid costly downtime.
What is an IP Address?
IP stands for internet protocol. An IP address is an identifier or a number that allows information to be sent between devices on a network. When you are travelling, you will be assigned a new IP address based on your new location and type of device you are using.
