Upgrading Networked Computer Systems

If your network is very out of date, then it may be better (and cheaper) to replace the whole system.

However, it is often the case that a network can be completely revitalised just by replacing certain parts of it.

You can rely on Design Networks to give you impartial advice on which parts of your system can be usefully retained, and so reduce your costs. You can be sure that we would not recommend replacing equipment unless it can be justified.

Upgrades include:

• Hard disk subsystems, memory, processors and motherboards
• Add-in cards
• Backup and off-line storage systems
• Network operating systems
• Workstation operating systems
• Cabling infrastructure
• Hubs and routers
• Applications software
• Utilities software
• Power backup systems
