Computer Networks
Mother is experienced in the design, build and support of local area networks for small to medium sized businesses and challenging multi-site scenarios where geographically distributed data, connectivity and security concerns increase complexity.
Whatever your scenario, our aim is to harness available technologies to create an infrastructure that will enable information transactions to be performed quickly, securely and cost effectively.
Today, desktop computers, notebooks and servers are relatively inexpensive but the total cost of ownership remains high. This is because the 'soft' costs associated with desktop support are significant contributors to the overall running costs.
In the enterprise market, the required number of desktop support staff is so high that policies and techniques have to be introduced to aid network management and control support costs. In most cases this will involve:
- limiting application usage to those approved by the organisation
- centrally controlling the functionality of all desktop and mobile devices
- standardising operating systems and application versions
- centrally controlling the distribution of software, software updates, patches and fixes
- removing complexity and simplifying the design
These practices minimise the reactive activities associated with desktop support and reduce costs as a result. Many of the staff at Mother have corporate backgrounds in the oil & gas industry where support staff are challenged with delivering the highest level of service to a large, geographically dispersed group of users. In almost every scenario and in order to cost effectively satisfy the demand, IT managers and technicians will standardise, centralise and simplify as much of their infrastructure as possible. This principle is engrained at Mother.
