Networking your computers together is essential if you have more than one computer as it enables easy sharing of data. However, there are many factors that can determine whether your network will be a success.

• Will you need wired or wireless networking or a combination of both?
• Will you need a connection to the Internet? If so, will more than one computer be accessing the Internet at once?
• How will your network cope if more computers need to connect to it?
• How will you share data? For example, will you need a single central server on which all your business data is stored, a combination of servers or will you use peer-to-peer file sharing?
• How will you secure your network?

ADSL Broadband is available from all the telephone exchanges on Islay, thus providing you with fast Internet access with speeds up to 160 times that of a dial-up modem from only £15 a month. The only restriction is that you must be within a certain distance from your telephone exchange. To find out if you can get ADSL broadband, go to www.bt.com/broadband and enter your telephone number. Note that it's not just BT that can provide you with broadband, though BT delivers the provisioning of broadband through its BT Wholesale division.

Whatever your requirements, Islay IT Services can design and implement a networking solution that meets your needs, regardless of the size of your business.
