Introduction

Businesses of all types and sizes know that innovation

is the key to smooth, efficient, and profitable

operations But understanding and evaluating all the available technologies on the market today – and deciding which ones are best for your company – can

be an overwhelming task

With thousands of products and vendors to choose from, and dozens of new offerings being introduced every day, many businesses find themselves asking:

• What are these solutions, and how can they help me?

• How do I put together an effective

technology strategy that will align with my business goals?

• How much do these products cost, and what type of return on investment can I expect?

In this book, I will try to answer these questions and more by highlight existing, new, and emerging

technologies Each chapter will provide an in-depth look into specific category, discuss its uses and

benefits, and offer some vendor recommendations

At the end, you will have gained vital insight into available tools and technologies, as well as an

understanding of how each one can add value to your organization This information will enable you to put

a successful technology plan into place, so you can improve the way you do business and increase your competitive edge

File & Printer

Sharing

In today’s information age, businesses thrive on communication and collaboration An organization’s ability to share and distribute client lists, product information, and other critical data across and outside the enterprise, in a variety of formats (documents, reports, presentations, emails, images, spreadsheets, etc.) is critical to its success

For many companies like yours, email has been the traditional method for sharing information In fact, more than 75 percent of the average company’s intellectual property is contained in email messages and their corresponding attachments, according to a study by research firm Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG)

But sending documents back and forth can be consuming and redundant, and can result in

time-information latency (a file may be updated between the time it is sent, and the time it is opened and viewed) It can also cause communication to become inaccurate and ineffective

Additionally, the use of email to distribute large files

to multiple recipients can negatively impact the performance of your IT network That’s why

Internet analyst Gartner predicts that, by 2009, email will be replaced by more cutting-edge collaboration tools in at least 50 percent of all US companies One way in which businesses can improve the

timeliness and availability of vital corporate data is by creating a shared folder that allows authorized users

to retrieve, view, and edit files These folders can be set up on a central server, a dedicated workstation, a network-attached service device, or your own

desktop

In order to keep the data contained in shared folders secure at all times, you must grant authorized users the appropriate permissions to access, edit, and delete files as needed Additionally, you must implement a rigid data backup schedule, to protect files from being lost, overwritten, or mismanaged While backing up shared data at least once a week is recommended, daily back-ups will provide you with the highest level

of safeguarding

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) can make it easier and more cost-effective to link shared folders and files together, and to maximize information flow and accessibility among remote users across your business Some of today’s most common VPN and VPN-like products include Microsoft Groove Virtual Office,

Nortel VPN Gateway, CheckPoint, and Cisco

Another option for businesses that must share

information between users that are not connected to the same network is a Web-based file hosting

solution These solutions provide a secure, speed environment that enables the movement of large files back and forth between locations There are hundreds of third-party providers that offer file hosting services Among them are SWMirror, File Burst, File Factory, My Data Bus, and The File Den

high-If all of your users and their computers are connected

to the same network, there are three ways to share documents and files:

1) Peer to peer

2) Servers

3) Network attached storage (NAS)

Peer-to-peer sharing is the easiest option All

Windows computers, by default, allow users to share any drive, folder, or file with any other user on the same network To do this, you simply go to

Windows Explorer® and right-click on the drive, folder, or file you wish to share Then, choose

Properties, select the Sharing tab, and click on Enable File Sharing

Don’t forget to assign users with the appropriate access privileges Consider prohibiting them from editing or deleting your files Accidents are more common than you might think, and if another user unintentionally overwrites or deletes your document, you won’t be able to recover it

Faster, more reliable, and more secure file sharing can

be accomplished by dedicating one computer for the sole purpose of housing shared data This will make documents and information readily available to authorized users, without impacting the performance

of their individual workstations The dedicated computer will act as a network server or file server All you have to do to begin sharing information immediately is transfer the appropriate files to the workstation and grant user permissions

Tip: You don’t need an expensive enterprise scale Windows based server to store shared files If your company shares a small quantity of documents, or the files you share require low bandwidth, you can use the more cost effective Small Business Edition of Windows Server Linux based computers are also quite effective for file sharing Linux software is free, although you do need to have some additional technical knowledge to set

it up Or, if your business is very small, and your file sharing needs are minimal, an old Windows based computer may be all you need

Network storage devices provide yet another rapid, economical way to share electronic documents These devices include hard-drives, a jack to connect the drives to your network, and a Web-based interface for configuring the solution and setting user access privileges They can be conveniently purchased at any computer or office supply store

Well-known manufacturers of network storage

devices include Adaptec, Iomega , and NetGear For product feature comparisons, pricing, and availability, check Best Buy, CompUSA, Staples, Office Max, or

Office Depot

In addition to files, you can also share printers This can help you significantly reduce costs and waste by allowing multiple users to utilize a single printer, instead of purchasing separate printers – and the needed toner and ink – for each individual computer

To share a printer, simply go to your Control Panel, click on Printers, choose the one you want to set as your dedicated shared printer, and set user access privileges

12 Surefire Signs Your Business Is Ready For A Server

outdated computers or a peer-to-peer network that is constantly giving you problems?

opening a remote location or adding an additional office?

with conflicts, error messages, and breakdowns?

If so, this report will reveal if a server is right for your company!

Dear Fellow Business Owner,

If you are like most small businesses, you acquire desktop computers, phone systems, and software in a random, “buy-it-when-you-need-it” fashion as your business operations demand it

But at some point, this patchwork of stopgap technology you’ve acquired is going to end up costing you more in downtime, system errors, breakdowns, and other problems than it would to rip out and replace everything

If you’ve suddenly become aware that you’re at that stage of growth in your business, then you want to stop purchasing more software and hardware in a willy-nilly fashion and get serious about planning for your future growth and business operations so you don’t end up with a big pile of expensive hardware and software spaghetti that doesn’t meet your

business needs

One Big Secret To Saving Money

One secret to saving money on IT costs is to strive for as much uniformity and connectivity as possible across your business network - and the first place to start achieving that is through the use of a server

If you have two or more computers that are loosely connected to share information, printers, scanners, Internet access, or fax machines, then you could inject

a great deal of simplicity, productivity, and security with a small business server

A server simply acts as a single specialized

computer that ensures all of the computers connected

to it (called “clients”) have access to the resources, information, and systems they need, faster, and with fewer problems It also acts as a centralized manager

to make sure data is secure and organized

They’re Not Just For Big Business Anymore

12 Signs That Your Business Is Ready For A Server

1 You have two or more computers that need

to share office equipment (printers, fax

machines, scanners) and resources (Internet access)

2 You have irreplaceable files and data residing

on more than one computer that need to be secured from loss, corruption, or

unauthorized access

3 You need (or would like to have) secure access to your computer files while traveling

or working from home

4 You need to back up critical files on more than one computer, and you would like to be able to restore accidentally deleted files or previous versions of your files

5 You need CRM (customer relationship

management) software and accounting

programs to manage and communicate with your growing list of clients and vendors

6 You need to manage different versions of one file

7 You need a central communication system that makes it easy to schedule group meetings and share information with employees,

vendors, and customers

8 You need to allow employees to share

databases and other software tools

9 You would like to send group faxes and mail broadcasts to customers

e-10 You want to save money by hosting your own company website and e-mail

11 You want to control employees’ access to sensitive financial records and personnel information

12 You want a central access point for

information instead of having to hunt down various files and data on various computers

on your network

The Concept of the Slight Edge

All master craftsmen demand excellent tools to complete their work They know that the best tools allow them to focus on creating their next

masterpiece rather than being sidetracked, frustrated,

or limited by the tools they are using The

computers, software, and office equipment you use are the tools you use every day to create your greatest masterpiece: your business

If the technology in your office is not simplifying your business and making it easier for you to get more done with fewer employees, it’s costing you a lot more than the price of a server While there is no shortage of white papers on the topic of ROI (return

on investment) for upgrading technology, you and I know that this is truly a hard cost to quantify;

however, there certainly IS a cost, and depending on your business operations and how you use the

computers and technology in your office, the cost may be significant

The “Latte” Factor

In his book Automatic Millionaire, author David Bach talks about the “latte” factor Simply put, most people end up financially broke not because of the big purchases they make, but because of the small,

seemingly innocent day-to-day spending of small amounts of money over a long period of time For example, no one thinks twice of spending $4 for a cup of coffee at Starbucks every morning

However, add that up over the course of a year and they’ve invested $1,460 into a daily cup of coffee Why am I telling you this? Because massive loss of productivity in any business plays out exactly the same way

Think about this: a faster processor and a faster

hard drive with greater capacity allow you to open and use applications faster, saving a few minutes every hour Information is centralized, which saves a few more minutes every hour in finding files There are fewer crashes and hang-ups

Each of these little things adds up to significant employee hours saved over the course of a year Then there’s the cost-savings of outsourced IT support A properly configured and maintained client-server network is far easier to support and troubleshoot than

a patchwork of computers that are loosely connected All of this translates into higher revenue from your technology investment and should land on your bottom line

Antivirus

Solutions

Computer viruses are sometimes impossible to avoid

We all know somebody who has experienced a

catastrophic loss due to a computer virus

For example, the infamous MyDoom virus of 2004 infected 1 in every 12 email messages on the Internet during its peak Those impacted by virus outbreaks – who have often done nothing more than download a corrupted file from an unknown Web site, or open an infected email attachment – must often spend

countless hours trying to recover lost or damaged programs, messages, and documents

To minimize the down time and lost productivity caused by computer viruses, companies of all sizes have implemented one of the many antivirus software solutions on the market today

But over the past several years, viruses have become smarter Hackers from all over the world are

constantly creating new viruses, remote access

spyware, key loggers, and other programs designed to perpetuate identity theft, credit card fraud, financial scams, and other crimes

In fact, security experts believe that computer viruses, worms, and Trojans resulted in more than $204 billion in damages in 2004 alone

That’s why solid, reliable, up-to-date antivirus

protection is critical Not just for individual

computers, but for databases, email servers, Web servers, printers, as well as any other systems that exist within your organization

Make sure every single one of your network

components has an antivirus solution that will

automatically update itself daily, so you are always protected from any new and emerging viruses

This can help you avoid a lot of trouble, and spare you hours of work (and many unnecessary headaches)

in the event of a virus strike

There are countless antivirus packages available Many of them, such as the Avast Antivirus Home Edition, are free Avast also offers packages designed for business use Other popular solutions include

AVG, McAfee, Norton Antivirus, Panda, and

Kaspersky

expensive computer repair bills

Dear Fellow Computer User:

If you own a computer that has access to the Internet and e-mail, then it is only a matter of time before you fall victim to a malicious spyware

program, virus, worm, or hacker Every day we get customers coming in who are experiencing computer

problems due to these threats, and it is only getting worse

What is even more frustrating is that many of these computer users are back in my office a few days

or weeks later with the EXACT same problems and end up having to spend ANOTHER hefty fee for restoring their computer back to normal

You see, unless you learn how to ward off these evil cyber criminals and beat them at their own game, you will constantly fall victim to their pranks and criminal intent and end up spending hundreds – possibly even thousands – of dollars to get your computer running normal again

Just recently we have seen a sharp increase in the number of computer users falling victim to these attacks and that is why I decided to write this report I wanted to arm my customers with the facts so they could avoid problems and expensive repair bills

The information in this Guide will not only educate you as to WHY you are experiencing these problems, but also what you *must* do now to guard against the unethical actions of these cyber criminals

Three Dangerous Threats You Must Be

Aware Of

One of the most dangerous aspects of online threats is their ability to cloak their existence Hackers and the authors of malicious spyware and malware programs go to great lengths to create programs that are difficult to identify and remove

That means a malicious program can be downloaded and doing its dirty work on your

computer long before you are aware of it Below are the two most common threats you’ll need to guard against with a brief explanation of what they are:

Spyware: Spyware is Internet jargon for hidden programs advertisers install on your PC without your permission to spy on you, gather information, and report this information about you and your online activities to some outside person

Spyware is NOT harmless; it can be

responsible for delivering a boatload of spam, altering your web browser, slowing down your PC, and

serving up a bounty of pop-up ads In some of the more extreme cases, spyware can also steal your

identity, passwords, e-mail address book, and even use your PC for illegal activities

Most spyware finds its way onto your

computer via file downloads including free programs, music files, and screen savers While you *think* you are only downloading a legitimate program to add emoticons to your e-mails, you are unknowingly also downloading a heaping spoonful of spyware

programs

Spyware piggybacks the download and runs undetected in the background collecting information about you and sending it back to its originator until it

is removed Although spyware has malicious

components, it is not illegal, and it is not considered a virus because it doesn’t replicate itself or destroy data

Malware: Malware is short for malicious software

and represents all programs, viruses, Trojans, and worms that have malicious intent to damage or disrupt a system Malware is harder to remove and will fight back when you try to clean it from your system In some extreme cases, we have had to completely wipe out all of the information on the computers’ hard disk and start with a complete re-install of the operating system

Among other things, a malware infection can corrupt your files, alter or delete data, distribute confidential information such as bank accounts, credit cards, and other personal data, disable hardware, prevent you from using your computer, and cause a hard drive to crash Frequently, malware is also designed to send itself from your e-mail account to all the friends and colleagues in your address book without your knowledge or consent

Hackers: Hackers are computer programmers turned evil They are the people who design the spyware and malware programs that attack your computer

Some of them have criminal intent and use these programs to steal money from individuals and

companies Some have a grudge against the big software vendors (like Microsoft) and seek to harm them by attacking their customers (you) Others do it purely for fun Whatever the reason, hackers are getting more intelligent and sophisticated in their ability to access computer systems and networks

Surefire Signs That You Are Infected With Spyware, Malware, and Viruses

Since most malicious programs are designed

to hide themselves, detecting their existence not always easy However, there are a few surefire signs that you have been infected:

ƒ You start getting swamped with pop-up ads that seem to come from nowhere and constantly interrupt your use of the computer

ƒ Your computer is unstable, sluggish, locks up, or crashes frequently

ƒ Your web browser's home page changes on its own and you cannot modify the settings You may also see toolbars on your web browser that you did not set up

ƒ You get a second or third web browser popping

up behind your main browser that you didn’t open or request

ƒ Mysterious files suddenly start appearing

ƒ Your CD drawer starts opening and closing by itself

ƒ You get constant runtime errors in MS

Outlook/Outlook Express

ƒ You find emails in your “Sent Items” folder that you didn't send

ƒ Some of your files are moved or deleted or the icons on your desktop or toolbars are blank or missing

If you are experiencing one or more of the above when using your computer, you are infected and should seek help from a senior computer

technician Before I talk about getting rid of it, let me share with you 4 costly misconceptions about

spyware, malware, hackers, and other threats that you will also need to know…

The Four Most Costly Misconceptions About Spyware, Malware, And Other Computer Threats

#1: Spyware and Malware is easy to

remove

Some spyware and malware CAN be easily removed using a program such as Spybot’s Search & Destroy (you can download it for free at: www.safer-networking.org) or Ad-Aware (you can download it at

malicious program In some extreme cases, we have had no alternative, but to wipe the hard disk clean by deleting all of the files on it and re-installing the operating system

Obviously this is NOT an ideal situation and

we do everything within our power to avoid it

Unfortunately there are some malicious programs that are so intelligent that there is simply no other way of removing them

Of course you can use Spybot or Ad-Aware as

a first attempt at cleaning your machine; however, if you continue to notice that your computer runs slow,

if you continue to get crippling pop-ups, or any other

of the tell-tale signs discussed earlier, you will need to seek the help of an experienced computer technician

#2: It is my computer’s fault that I continue to get attacked by spyware,

malware, and viruses.

In all cases, malware, spyware, and viruses are

a result of some action taken by the user (you or a family member that uses your computer) Remember,

cyber criminals are incredibly clever and gain access to

your computer via some of the most innocent and common activities you are performing; that is why it SEEMS as though it is your computer’s fault

For example, many of the clients we see simply downloaded an emoticon software program Emoticons are the smiley faces and action characters that you see at the bottom of many people’s e-mails

In doing so they also (unknowingly) downloaded a payload of spyware and malware and before they knew it, could no longer use their computer due to the instability and pop-ups

Other deadly programs to avoid are free

“enhanced” web browsers, screen savers, and just about any “cute” programs you come across that are free to download Always read the terms and

conditions before downloading ANY program to look for clauses that allow them (the software vendor)

to install spyware programs on your computer

Installing programs is not the only way a hacker or malware program can access your

computer If you do not have the most up-to-date security patches and virus definitions installed on your computer, hackers can access your PC through a banner ad on the web that you accidentally clicked on

or through an e-mail attachment that you opened

Just recently, hackers have even been able to figure out ways to install malicious programs on your computer via your Internet Explorer web browser EVEN IF YOU DIDN’T CLICK ON ANYTHING

OR DOWLOAD A PROGRAM Microsoft is

constantly providing patches to their operating system software and all it takes is one missed update to leave you completely vulnerable

Finally, you should COMPLETELY AVOID any and all peer to peer file sharing networks such as KaZaa These sites are the absolute WORST online activities you can participate in for your computer’s health because they are pure breeding grounds for hackers, spyware, malware, and other malicious attacks

#3: If my computer is working fine right now, I don’t need to perform maintenance

on it

This is probably one of the biggest and most deadly misconceptions that most computer users fall victim to Computers are just like cars If you don’t change the oil, change the filter, rotate the tires, flush the transmission, and perform other regular

maintenance on your car, it will eventually break down and cost you FAR MORE to repair than the cost of the basic maintenance

There are certain maintenance checks that need to be done daily (like virus updates and spam filtering), weekly (like system backups and a spyware sweep), and monthly or quarterly like checking for and installing security patches and updates, disk defrag, spyware detection and removal, checking the surge suppressor and the integrity of the hard drive, and so on

Your computer repair technician should be adamant that you have regular maintenance done on your computer and should offer to set up automatic virus definition updates, spam filtering (to avoid viruses), and automatic system backups that are stored on an OFF SITE location (this protects the backup from fire, flood, or other natural disasters)

If your technician does not press you to let him do this for you, then RUN – don’t walk – out

of their office Lack of system maintenance is the

NUMBER ONE reason most people end up losing valuable files and incurring heavy computer repair bills If your technician isn’t offering you these

services, you need to find someone else to support your computer or network for two reasons:

1 Either they don’t know enough to

make this recommendation, which

is a sure sign they are horribly

inexperienced, OR

2 They recognize that they are profiting

from your computer problems and don’t want to recommend steps towards preventing you from needing their help on an ongoing basis

Either reason is a good one to get as far away from that person as possible!

#4: The firewall and security tools

provided in the Microsoft Operating

System are all the maintenance and

protection I need

Again, this is a terrible misconception

Microsoft does NOT include ALL of the security features to protect your data from viruses, hackers, and data loss or prevent your PC from running slowly

As a matter of fact, there is no one single vendor that provides ALL of the system security features you need to keep your computer and files safe from harm

Security and protection from these malicious attacks takes a multi-faceted, layered approach Let

me outline exactly what you need to make sure your computer is completely protected…

7 Simple Steps To Secure Your Computer From Malicious Attacks and Avoid

Expensive Repair Bills

1 Keep an up-to-date anti-virus software running at all times I recommend AVG

anti-virus for two simple reasons: 1) It detects and removes spyware and malware programs that a lot of the more well-known (and more expensive) anti-virus software programs miss, and 2) It does it for about half the price

It also has an auto scan and update feature that will make sure your computer is running the most current protection available and regularly scanning for threats If you want a free 30-day trial of the AVG product, go to this website: http://free.grisoft.com

2 Start using an alternative web browser to Internet Explorer such as Mozilla Firefox

Just recently, hackers have figured out a way

to access and download malicious programs

to your computer via a security hole in IE What is amazing about this is that you don’t even have to click on anything or download a program to get infected You are especially vulnerable if you have an older version of Windows such as Windows 98

Mozilla is a completely free web browser that does not have the same security problems as

IE Many of my clients even report back that they like their Mozilla browser better than Internet Explorer Switching from IE to Mozilla is a simple and cost-free way to add another layer of security to your computer To download this free browser, go to

www.mozilla.org
