The Reality of IT Budgets in Tough Times

In today’s economic climate, the last thing most business owners want to spend money on is their IT department. You’ve already cut every corner, and while you’re surviving and starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, resources are still tight.

Fewer Employees, Aging Infrastructure

You once had ten employees—now you’re managing with five. Your server and network setup is five years old. Sally complains daily about slow speeds, and recent outages have made it clear: your server is on its last legs. But spending $8,000–$10,000 on a new one? That’s just not in the budget.

So What Are Your Options?

You could call us to be your IT department—but maybe you're not quite ready for that. So what do you do?

A Smarter, Simpler Solution

With a smaller team, a peer-to-peer (P2P) network might be the perfect fit. It’s affordable, efficient, and makes use of the equipment you already have. Remember that high-end desktop you bought for Sally? That powerhouse can now double as your server.

How Peer-to-Peer Works

In a P2P setup, any computer can act as both a desktop and a server. Built-in network features allow file and printer sharing without the need for a dedicated server. Add a SonicWall wireless total secure appliance, and your network becomes faster and more stable.

Big Savings, Big Impact

Instead of spending thousands, you’re back up and running for around $1,500. And when you’re ready to grow again, we can help you scale back up to a full server-based network.
