Everyone either knows of someone or they themselves have lost precious information. It is a disaster when a server suddenly looses power and cannot continue doing it's job. Whether its just one machine or a natural disaster where nobody has any power it is just as serious. If normal business cannot continue it must be restored as soon as possible.

There are many things to consider to be truly prepared in case of computer failure. At the very least there must be:

• An overall backup/restore plan.
• The actual daily routine.
• Verification that the plan works.

All of this starts first by determining what needs to be restored and it's priority. This could be as simple as the company accounting system or as complex as a whole system of server applications and databases. There are many ways to be prepared for those computer system failures, even natural disasters that make computers useless. Some perfectly functional ways are and as easy as regularly making a copy of important data. Other strategies can bring together several diverse technologies to secure recovery.

Let Digital Air Networks (DAnet) help you recover from the disaster that you are currently dealing with. Then let DAnet help you design a strategy you can live with, help put it in place, and test it so that your work can be protected like wearing a seatbelt.

There are exciting possibilities in the world of networking that are touching every part of life. At work not being connected can cost money, but the cost of being connected can be more than it should too. The servers and office tools that are found in the workplace need to be connected and work well with each other. This can be a tall order for the average office given the variety of standards and differing hardware.

• How can the Macintosh user print to the same printer as the Windows PC users?
• How can the people in the new work area get internet access?
• How can I work from home or on the road securely?

Computers have always been tools for work first, having one at home has only recently become standard. Now we see not only one computer at home but several, doing different jobs. Appliances like phones, televisions, sound equipment and security systems that never had anything to do with the computer now can, and must, be connected to something. That something soon is required to be connected to the rest of the world.

All of this connecting of things together and getting them to work correctly and be useful can be enough to make you wish you lived in another time. Let Digital Air Networks do the connecting and configuring. There are several ways but not always one right way. There are also plenty of challenges which no one person can know or has the time to learn about. Meeting these challenges is what Digital Air Networks is all about.

The difference between installing a server and making it perform it's job or connecting an office and actually making the network safe is the measure of how well the hardware installer can then become the software engineer. When you hire DAnet you are not stuck with one or the other. Here are some simple examples.

• Setting up access to the internet, or remote access to your office, there are both physical and programmatic challenges.
• Deploying a new server for any particular purpose you will need the hardware assembled and installed and then have it configured to do it's job.
• To connect two buildings with a wireless network you'll need someone who can mount the antennas and run the wires properly, and you will also need someone to program the devices that use the antennas.

But none of those examples go far enough to illustrate this point. Programming is much more than what is mentioned in the preceding examples. It is the creation of programs, the things that run on computers making them perform their tasks. Digital Air Networks can provide this as well.

Whether it be coding in "C" or Java to create actual applications, or javascript, PHP or ASP for web server functionality, or simply writing a script or batch file to be used to automate tedious tasks, DAnet can do this for you. A programmer's understanding of how the server works inside means that the installation of the server, or other hardware will be a resounding success. Whatever your needs are, whether you know how you want them met or not, call DAnet and ask how we can help.
