Consulting, sales, installation, training, and support services available for Novell, 3Com, and Microsoft Windows NT.
We utilize the Novell "Small Business Netware
Advisor" software, to fully analyze and determine your needs and costs for
networks. Whether you're planning a first network or adding to an existing one, whether
there are already computers in the environment or not, the Novell Network Assistant will
create a graphical diagram of all the elements--server, workstations, printers, CD-ROM
drives, even Internet access connectors--in the network. It even builds a 'shopping list'
as you work, keeping track of components and their approximate costs. Then it will help
you analyze, adjust, and modify until the network satisfies your requirements. When it
does, you can print both the diagram and shopping list.
In addition, the Network Advisor has a section to help you analyze the business and
financial benefits of networking. You will answer a few questions, then evaluate the
results to better analyze the business case. Taking this careful and thoughtful approach
to an important investment will help assure a well-informed and prudent decision.
Network Hardware
Why should I buy 3Com products?
3Com has over 18 years of experience in the networking
business. This technological expertise is leveraged into each of our quality small
business products. Each product is designed to be reliable, scaleable, and easy to
install, so that you can begin to enjoy the benefits of networking without spending hours
reading manuals.
When you purchase a 3Com product, you enter into a partnership with a company that you can
count on to solve your networking challenges. Every 3Com product and service is backed by
extensive sales support, and lifetime warranties are available for many products. When
you're looking for a reliable way to build or expand a small business network, 3Com has
the answer.
Why do I need a network in my business?
Networks let you share everything from files to e-mail,
programs to printers, and much, much more. When your computers are connected, your people
are too.
Networks allow your small business to make better use of resources, stay competitive, and
keep your business growing. When you network with 3Com® products, you can save time, save
money, and increase productivity.
What type of network will I need for my business?
There are two basic types of small business
networks: peer-to-peer and client-server. If you're
looking for the easiest network to install and have approximately five or less computers
to connect, then a peer-to-peer network is for you. A peer-to-peer
network is a single group of computers that are connected to a central point, or hub. All
computers on the network are able to communicate with each other.
Peer-to-peer
If you have approximately six or more computers to connect and you're interested in sharing larger items like databases, then you should consider a client-server network. With a client-server network, you store all shared applications and files on one central computer known as the server. You can keep personal files on your own computer, but you use the server to access shared files and peripherals (like printers, fax machines, and modems).
Client-server
How does the network communicate?
Every desktop computer in your network requires a Network Interface Card (NIC) to connect it to the rest of the network. 3Com's EtherLink® and Fast EtherLink NICs are the world's most popular NICs. They use 3Com's patented Parallel Tasking® technology to give you the fastest network connection. EtherLink and Fast EtherLink NICs provide DynamicAccess™ features, powerful software that improves network performance and functionality. These NICs come with a lifetime warranty.
Network
interface cards

- Fastest performance with Parallel Tasking
- One-step installation with Plug-and-Play support or AutoLink™ software
- Proven reliability, with over 45 million EtherLink card users

I've got printers, fax machines, and CD-ROM drives in my office. Is there a way that the people on my staff can share these valuable resources?
Print, fax, and CD-ROM servers can bring added productivity
to your network by allowing you to share expensive equipment. 3Com, in partnership with
Castelle® Corporation, has designed OfficeConnect Print, Fax, and CD-ROM Servers so that
your small business can save time and money.
The OfficeConnect Print Server supports up to two shared printers in a
networked environment.
