Large Corporations have the budget for a dedicated IT staff and multiple servers. If you do not have to support 100's of staff but need office essentials like E-mail, Internet Access and a fully functional Phone system then the Integrated Small Business Solution (ISBS) can take care of everything for you. Since small businesses do not need all of the processing power of today's server PC's it makes sense to use less machines to achieve more. For a company whose business is not technology related, the upkeep of several servers can become an expensive problem as a new machine is bought for each purpose. By consolidating the required services to less hardware the ROI can be realized a lot sooner. The ISBS can handle small office demands
The following services can be installed and run from the ISBS so you can get the maximum return on your hardware investment. The ISBS is suitable for companies with less than 20 employees that require average use of these services. As you Business expands the services can be migrated to dedicated machines as required. The following can be configured onto the main system or multiple systems if your company has high usage or more employees.
Asterisk PBX
This Enterprise Class Phone system can handle multiple different kinds of connection to the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) for you to communicate with your clients. It also offers the ability to connect using much cheaper VOIP connections so international calls can be as little as 2c/minute and national US and Canadian calls can be unlimited for $3 per line.
E-Mail Server
E-mail has become a requirement for any successful business. By running your own server you control your information and are not reliant on web based mail servers. Registering your own company domain name will give you a more professional business presence, and running your own server allows you to add as many mail accounts and alias addresses as you require.
Web Server
If you want to save on hosting costs and use your own hardware as a web server then your ISBS can be configured to run your website. If you have an ISP that allows you to run servers on your connection the process for managing and editing your own website is simple. If you do not have a static IP address Montreal-VOIP can configure a dynamic client to update your IP address so your will always be available.
Firewall and Wireless Access
During the installation the installer can configure your Wired or Wireless router and any firewall rules you need to make your services available while still keeping the rest of your network secure. By using a separate wireless router your ISBS can be used as a secondary firewall for your private network for added security.
Office File Server
Use your server to make files that every one needs available without having to save them and pass them around on a USB key. A File server for the office can greatly increase productivity if the users require access to the same files. If required you can also make these files available to staff from any location over the internet using FTP.
Print Server
If your Printer is compatible you can also share office printer resources. Save time or the need to buy each separate person a printer and make the most of available resources.
Offsite Data Back up
Although all SBS systems are installed and configured to the highest standards, you never know when something might go wrong. A Fire at the office could mean that you loose the server and the data it contains. Insurance can replace the hardware but the company data is
irreplaceable. To ensure against data loss Montreal-VOIP offers an offsite data backup solution which allows you to copy your company data securely to our servers on a regular basis to prevent loss. In the event of hardware failure, a current back up will also allow the fastest possible recovery times. The system can be fully automated to do this so once set up you no longer have to worry about it. For further details and monthly pricing costs of this service please Contact Us
