Computer System Upgrades

With a few upgrades along the way, a good quality computer should have 7-10 years of service life. We take pride in our ability to keep older computers working at peak performance for many years. Most quality laptops and desktop PC’s can be upgraded – saving you hundreds of dollars and reducing your environmental footprint. So, which components should you upgrade?

  • For most older computers, adding extra RAM will instantly boost performance.
  • It’s important to replace old mechanical Hard Drives with newer Solid State drives to prevent data loss and boost performance.
  • Laptop batteries usually need replacing after about 5 years.
  • Your operating system should always be upgraded to the most recent version supported by your hardware.
  • In desktop computers, upgrading the graphics processor (GPU) can make a big difference.
  • Simply replacing your keyboard and mouse or getting a larger monitor can make an old computer feel new again.

Networks

Almost all businesses, no matter their size, rely on some kind of network. It may be as simple as a single PC connected directly to a modem, or a complex system with hundreds of users and devices spanning multiple locations. We provide network support for small businesses – typically from 3 to 30+ users.

  • Secure wireless networks and public “guest” networks
  • Secure file sharing between specific staff or groups
  • Remote access for WFH (work from home) employees
  • Firewall rules and content filtering

Internet Security, Backups, and Recovery

Data loss can occur for a number of reasons – hardware failure, ransomware, software errors – and recovering data after an incident can be extremely difficult. We provide on-site data recovery services, and may use third party resources for extremely difficult recovery situations. Recovery isn’t always possible – so prevention is a much better option:

  • Use strong passwords and 2FA (two factor authentication)
  • Avoid posting personal information on social media
  • Learn how spot phishing emails and fake/dangerous websites
  • Always keep an updated external backup of your important data

cPanel (IMAP) and Microsoft 365 Email Hosting

If you can make do with less space – up to 5GB per user – we offer extremely affordable Canadian cPanel IMAP email hosting.

Either way – your email, contacts, and calendars will be synchronized across all your devices.
