Twenty years ago, computing was affordable only to the Fortune 100. Ten years later, everyone could afford a computer in their backoffice for their business, but today nearly every business runs almost entirely off of networking computer systems. From Point of Sale and Inventory to Accounting, nearly all the tasks your business does in some way interfaces with a computer.

No matter the size of your business, Kirkham Systems has the experience necessary to make sure your business systems run smoothly. From 1000 station networks with multiple offices and a wide area network between them to a 3 station small business, we can help you design and implement a network with systems and software that will help you get the most out of your business with the smallest investment possible.

Network

Today, nearly all applications you use in your business are network capable. Multiple computers are running the same software to talk to each other and expand their capabilities beyond a single PC. To accomplish this, you need a Local Area Network to connect all the computers in your office together. If you have multiple offices, you need a Wide Area Network or a Virtual Private Network to connect your offices together. If you have an Internet connection at your office, you need a router to help you share that Internet access between all your computers. If you want mobility, you need a WiFi network to help you connect to your systems from anywhere in your office. Large switched networks or small single office networks, we can design and implement a cost effective solution allowing you to run the applications necessary to maximize the potential of your business,

Systems

As your business grows, the applications you are running will outgrow the abilities of one workstation servicing your entire business. At this point, it is time to consider installing dedicated servers that will service your entire business. If you've already got that infrastructure, every few years your applications or your business needs will outgrow the serving capacity from your previous investment, and it will be time to consider upgrading your infrastructure. Kirkham Systems has experience helping you manage your entire systems infrastructure. Whether it's helping you set up a small business domain to serve email and files to your office , to a medium sized business with a small RAID enclosure serving a SQL Server database, to large UNIX servers running terabyte sized Oracle databases on a large SAN, we can help you maximize your serving capacity while minimizing the cost.

Backups

Hard Drive technology today is leaps and bounds ahead of where it was even 5 years ago, but the old saying "It's not if a hard drive will die, but when" is still as true as ever. If you have critical data on your network, it's only a matter of time before the drive holding that data will die. That's why backups are so critical. Having a regular backup schedule, with tested backups, is critical to maintaining a functioning business. There's never a good time to lose data, and we can help you design a backup infrastructure that will ensure that when the inevitable occurs, you'll be prepared and ready to resume the normal operation of your business with barely a blip of downtime.
