Choosing the Right Structured Cabling Installation Company

/in , /by

If your business is moving, expanding, or simply upgrading your IT and phone network, you will need a dependable, knowledgeable company to handle the structured cabling installation.  Structured cabling is the industry terminology for the computer and communications network infrastructure, and usually involves more than just physical cables.

A network also includes switches, hubs, routers, wireless devices and may even tie into security and access systems.  Unlike devices, though, cables often last for decades, so having the right cabling vendor can make a big difference in future capabilities.

Great structured cabling partners will ask about your current and future network needs, including the number and type of devices, the type of data handled by your business, whether you have video and security needs, the use of wireless and mobile devices, and the potential for business growth and expansion.  While you don’t want to pay for functionality you don’t need, the right vendor will make sure you have a system that will serve your needs in the future, without significant upgrades.

Here are a few additional items to consider and questions to ask:

  • Does the cabling vendor provide on-site and/or remote support?
  • Do they have experience with similar sized businesses or industries?
  • Can they integrate devices, phone systems, servers, etc., or are they simply a cable installer?
  • Can they handle multiple locations.
  • Can they provide initial and ongoing testing for network performance?
  • Will they stand behind their work.

Each structured cabling project is different, from new construction to renovation and expansion.  Your business network is a vital tool and it’s important to make sure you partner with the right vendor, with a history of successful results. If you have questions about your structured cabling and network needs in Virginia Beach, Hampton Roads or throughout the mid-Atlantic region, please contact BCS Voice & Data for a no-obligation conversation.

What is VoIP?

/in /by

VoIP is short for Voice over Internet Protocol

There are quite a few benefits to using VoIP, but is it right for your business? Well, let’s take a look at some of the features:

  • Calls use Internet connection, not a phone line. This saves you money by avoiding long distance charges and by eliminating the need for an expensive landline.
  • VoIP is easy to use. Using VoIP is intuitive and some have video conferencing built right into the device.
  • Employees keep the same extension when working remotely. This increases productivity and makes it easier for clients to contact the employee working out of the office.

Is VMware Right for My Business?

/in , , , /by

VMware is a great tool for leveraging your IT infrastructure, allowing your your comptuers to run multiple operating systems and applications, without the expense of adding additional machines or servers.  You can consolidate servers, improve automation and implement disaster recovery solutions.

If you use leading business software operating on your servers, such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, SAP, Microsoft Exchange, Sharepoint and more, VMware can create a more seamless and accessible system, using virtualization to access multiple systems.  Typical clients implementing VMware experience 80 percent greater utilization of server resources, up to 50 percent savings in capital and operating costs and a significant benefit in server consolidation.

In addition to server virtualization, we can help with network virtualization — letting you run applications on a virtual network, rather than a physical one.  This is particularly beneficial to growing businesses that need a highly scalable network and fast provisioning, troubleshooting, cloning and monitoring.

There’s no simple answer to the question is “VMware right for your business?”, however, the experts at BCS Voice & Data Solutions use a collaborative approach to identify business needs, future potential needs, and help you and your team identify options that are right for you situation.  Contact us today for a no-obligation conversation.
