4 tips for
Troubleshooting your
Broadband Blues

Many small-business
owners shell out big bucks for high-speed Internet
access. The savings in time are usually rewarded with
higher productivity.
If your
high-speed system happens to be running slower than a
clogged drain, don't complain just yet. Here are four
things you should consider.
|
1. Know your
speed. You can sit at your computer with a stopwatch to
see how long it takes to connect to your favorite Web site.
But this is not a very good indication of download speed.
Believe me, I've tried it. There are too many variables
involved. Or, you can also easily check your speed online,
through speed test sites.
Two other good
sites are at BroadbandReports.com (formerly DSLReports) and
Bandwidthplace.com. Both sites send data to your computer.

Virtualization
Overview
by Jane
Cage, COO, HTS
| |
|
| We live in a
world that constantly forces us to "do more with less".
Employees are expected to be more efficient.
Multi-function devices are becoming the standard on many
desktops. We multi-task by answering email, talking on
the phone, and reviewing a spreadsheet -- all at the
same time. |
|
We shouldn’t be surprised
then that IT departments are asking the same of their servers.
When server utilization gets measured, we find that many
servers have much more capacity than they actually use for the
majority of the time. With so much excess capacity - why not
run more than one server on a single machine? That’s what
virtualization is all about -- one physical machine running
more than one server operating system.
Virtualization is a hot
technology right now and here are some of the reasons
why: |

Microsoft Office
Up to
Speed with Outlook 2007
|
|
Take a look
at Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, and see how much
easier it is to do the things you've always done. Learn
how the Ribbon and the Quick Access Toolbar put the
commands you need right at your fingertips. You'll see
that it's quick and easy to compose and format your
message, add attachments, and then
send. |
Tracking tasks,
making appointments, scheduling meetings, working with
contacts - Outlook 2007 makes it all easier than ever. Watch
the demo and get acquainted!
