F-Secure Anti Virus and Spam

Axon have become a reseller of F-Secure Anti Virus, we love the centralised admin features of the Small Business Suite with its easy intergration for Spam Control for Exchange. 

 

When we have ran into any problems, the support we have recieved from F-Secure has enabled us to resolve any problems quickly. 

Cosolidate SQL Database

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

axon are are really please to have been tasked by a national heavy building materials company to centralise and consolidated their SQL database requirements due to uncontrolled growth and fragmentation of business databases.

We have proposed a mixed blade and virtual server solution to meet future growth and to meet centralisation and consolidation requirements.

As a by-product there will be reduced maintenance costs, reduced capitals cost, reduced power consumption and reduced data centre rack space used.

Backup Problems

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

With the increasing size and length of time people keep records picking the right backup solution is more important than ever.

And at the moment there is not a better time to pick up a bargain, from usb hard drives which you can take off site every night or network attached storage (NAS) which backup your whole system overnight.

If your a growing company you have to look long term into your backup solution other wise you will run into problems in the future and then the question of what can we afford to delete comes in to the equation.

So the bottom line is when looking at backup's ask yourself the question is this still going to hold all my data five years time? If the answer is no, you may want to consider whether spending more money now will save money further down the line. 

In most cases with growing business the answer is most likely yes.

We tend to recommend Buffalo External Hard Drives
