For most businesses in San Diego, a computer network is an essential feature of their business and profitability. Yet the foundation of computer networking is to have the proper design, regular system monitoring, and a retrievable record of all the systems changes that occur within the network. Without this foundation, a business stands to lose valuable data and may incur additional expenses when the shortcomings are revealed.
There are a number of technical items that are essential for restoring and maintaining your computer network. Some of the information is required from individual computers and workstations, while other information is needed from the network as a whole. When we come into your office we are prepared to gather this essential information and retain it in our system so that we can immediately identify any problems and quickly arrive at a solution.
Keep your Computer Networking organized with the “IT Playbook”
Some of the information that is often used in the event of a negative event is the computer manufacturer and model, CPU (processor) type, chipset type, IP configuration, user names and passwords, and specific information about your network architecture. We will also get the names and contact numbers of key management and IT personnel in your company to contact should a disaster occur. Depending on your particular network configuration, there may be more detailed information that is required so that we may promptly respond to your needs.
There are a number of purposes to record this information, perhaps the most important one is its use as part of the disaster recovery process in the event of a catastrophic failure or unexpected negative event. Access to this information will get your business back up and running sooner than trying to determine individual computer configurations and network design. The information collected from your network system will always remain confidential within our business, and is secured in a location restricted to executives and administrators.
