Three Must-have Features for Backup Software
The right backup software caters to a business’ disaster recovery plan. A disaster recovery plan is used to quickly restore data and servers when hardware fails on the network. Part of an efficient disaster recovery plan is backup software that stores, secures and archives documents to external media such as tape, DVDs and network hard drives. However, not all backup software has the features necessary for large networks. These three features ensure your disaster recovery plan can handle quick recovery and storage requirements.
Verification Mode
One of the worst positions for a network administrator is being in charge of data restoration when the backups are corrupted. A good backup application has a checksum process that verifies the backups are copied without errors. A checksum is an error-checking process that checks the bits… Continue reading...
Take Control of the Email Deliverability Problem
Although internet marketing through the mass mailing method has become popular among web based business owners, one of the biggest and most fundamental flaws of this system is the question of email deliverability.
This process usually involves selecting a mass mailing service with a high rate of successful email deliveries, and lower ‘bounce rate.’ This service then sends a designated amount of emails promoting your product or service to random email account holders, and some of the recipients may become potential customers to your company.
However, this might be too much of a risk to take since, inspite of their claims, these services may not actually possess an extensive number of valid email addresses, hence the deliverability problem, which… Continue reading...
The Imminent Death of a Hard Drive
That clicking sound on your hard drive is a sign that it’s time to start backup procedures. One day, your hard drive will crash, so don’t get comfortable with a single drive even if it’s brand new. For some unlucky people, hard drives crash with little to no warning, leaving users in a state of panic with lost data and an unworkable computer. Other lucky people, however, have the advantage of warning signs. Knowing these signs will help you save data and implement backup measures before your computer crashes.
Click Clacking Noises
The hard drive consists of platters and a readable arm and head that move back and forth, reading the information as you request it. Inside the hard drive’s cover, it looks like a mini record player. However, the difference is… Continue reading...
The Benefits of Unified Communications for Business
The two primary arenas of business communication, data systems and telecommunication systems, have evolved to a place where they include more similarities than dissimilarities. Combining the two of them within the business structure makes good sense. It also results in savings, increased productivity, and a more fluid operation throughout the company.
The Benefits of Unified Communications for Business
The benefits of unified communications for business are well worth the time and have a minimal expense to incorporate these changes into the company’s existing telecommunications system. Streamlining existing services, reducing hardware, and integrating the network system can easily lead to a single unified communications framework. In turn, this new framework will provide instantaneous benefits that will promote the growth and success of the company.
Unified Communications Lead to Increased Productivity
Businesses that take the initiative… Continue reading...

Considering Your Technology When Switching Office Spaces
Moving your office from one space to another can be a complex and frustrating task, whether they’re in the same building or all the way across town. When we’re buried in dealing with the desks and staplers and filing cabinets and chairs, we can often overlook some important bits related to our technology needs.
First thing’s first – take inventory of your technology requirements. You may be moving because you need more space – make sure you have the connections you need. Most offices will need two to four electrical outlets per desk, minimum. One for your computer, one for the monitor, and one for a desk lamp of some sort. You can figure out what you need fairly quickly – just make sure you have it at the new space… Continue reading...
Gaining the Trust of ISP and Why it is Important
Getting past sophisticated spam filters and assuring your email is delivered to your customers can be a complicated issue. If you only had to worry about customers using the built in protection in Microsoft Outlook it would be one thing. With this program, the user determines how their email is filtered. Moreover, if we are being honest here, Microsoft Outlook and similar products are just not very good spam filters. When you consider the average email user is just a regular person who is not the least bit interested in specializing in spam filters you can see how these programs would be pretty useless.
However, there is another type of spam filter that takes the game to an entirely… Continue reading...
Email Delivery – Make it Someone Else’s Concern
There is, without question, a dilemma facing email delivery on a global scale. Furthermore, this is not a situation which has arisen simply by chance and we can’t say we don’t understand it because we do. We also know that the problem is bound to continue affecting online merchants. What we’re looking at is known as a spam filter and, of course, the fact that they are constantly being changed and upgraded to meet new challenges.
In a way, the war between spam artists and companies who develop anti-spam software can be likened to a game of tennis, where two opponents hit the ball back and forth from one to the other. Of course these spam artists are devoted to their calling… Continue reading...
