Business challenge - 5 Users on
a Mac filesharing LAN using Office and Filemaker.
The overall system was in need of upgrade. Files were stored all over the LAN, email was collected by individual's computers
and file compatability with clients was often an issue. It was difficult to justify staying with Macintosh as they were only using Office Apps.
Solution - Introduce a Windows 2003 SB Server and XP Pro Client PCs.
The LAN was rewired to improve reliability and
all the data was transfered including the Filemaker
database. Files are now stored centrally, and
AIT backup every night ensures against disaster.
Exchange unifies email, and allows shared contacts
and calendar information. Connected to Business
ADSL, the whole system can be remotely accessed
via VPN. Symantec antivirus transparently pushes
definitions out to the client PCs to protect them.
