Network Installation

Texxmith provides corporate level IT support the small to medium business size. This includes the design, engineering layout, and installation of networks from 1 to 200 desktops, and between 1 to 10 servers.

Most small businesses will see huge savings by utilizing a server as a central repository for file storage, printer control, and E-mail services alone. Larger organizations typically run a wide range of applications, initiated at the desktop, but executed on the more powerful server.

Installation of servers include:

  • Windows File Server - Network installation of Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Windows 2003 Server, and Windows 2003 Small Business Server.  Microsoft currently dominates the corporate world for small business servers, but the alternates are growing due to software pricing and security considerations.

    • Installation of your choice of Linux Operating System, acting as a file server in a full Linux environment or a mixed Windows and Linux desktop network. Linux software is open-source and can be obtained for free.  Linux is increasingly popular due to its stability, virus and hacker resistance, and seldom requires critical security updates.

  • Microsoft E-mail Server - Microsoft Exchange 2000, 2003 to support your in-house E-mail and group scheduling needs. Store and access your E-mail using an advanced program like Microsoft Outlook.

    • Sendmail is a free alternative to Microsoft Exchange server for  E-mail Server functions. Typically installed on a Linux or Solaris Server, this is the most widely used server used to power E-mail around the world today. Highly stable and secure.  Sendmail is open-source software and free to use and distribute

  • Print Servers - Both Microsoft and Linux software handle most popular business printers with ease. The print server is often used on the same computer as the file server.
  • Log-on Server - Microsoft provides control through its server and network software that allows users to log on to one centrally controlled repository as to what assets each user may access, from files to programs to color laser printers. 

    • Linux and Solaris are stable systems that can control log-on in a mixed environment by the use of a free and open source program called SAMBA.  SAMBA allows users to perform many of the same log on services as Windows.

  • Application Server - Install your application on one server and allow multiple employees to run a single copy of that software.  An application server alleviates the need for installing the same bulky software on each employee’s desktop computer.
