Setting up a business VOIP network is quite different from setting up a home VOIP network which is as easy as downloading and installing VOIP software such as Skype or something similar.

Setting up VOIP for business is a completely different ball game and it requires careful planning and the availability of true broadband internet. You would also need to have a power backup solution – one that will need to consider the ground realities of your location.

Broadband Internet

VOIP (Voice over IP) makes use of internet to send and receive audio/video. How much data carrying capacity you will require (broadband) will depend on how many telephone lines you plan to connect to VOIP Network.

Broadband for Voice and Video

A single clear DVD quality audio / video link without time gaps or delays requires at least 500 Kbps bandwidth. But if you are looking for HD quality audio / video link then you need roughly 1.5 Mbps. Multiplying this figure by 1.5 times the number of telephone lines you require. The figure you arrive at will be the total bandwidth your VOIP network will require.

Broadband for voice only VOIP Network

A single, voice only telephone connection requires just 100kbps for crystal clear audio. You could further reduce the bandwidth by two-thirds by using compressed audio. The quality of the audio will depend on the compression software being offered by the service provider.

Over-compensate the Broadband Requirement

Broadband speed is never constant. There are peak periods and lean periods. On a shared network, expect broadband speeds to drop by as much as 30% to 40% during peak periods. It is therefore a good idea to over-compensate the broadband requirement by 50% for your new VOIP network.

The Router

The router is a piece of hardware that acts as the link and traffic controller for your computers and VOIP network. It connects your VOIP equipment to your broadband.

Always select a branded, top-of-the line, industrial strength router. Cheap routers will not only fail within months of installation, they are also easily hacked into. Also, cheap routers may not be fully compatible with your VOIP network resulting in less than ideal audio and video clarity. Your VOIP service provider is the best go-to company for advice on the best router for your VOIP network.

For best results, we recommend a separate broadband and routers for your Computer Network Setup Richmond. These should work independent of your regular Wifi / broadband network.

VoIP telephones

There are several options available including digital IP phones, Soft phones, Wifi Phones, Analog telephone adapters etc. Their function is the same; to facilitate a telephone conversation using the VOIP network. Each only differs in features and how the connection is technically achieved.

Professional Help

Setting up a business VOIP network seems easy enough but only if you are experienced and know the trade. Your competitors are constantly seeking ways and means of spying on your business. An unprofessional VOIP Setup will not only be glitch prone, it will make the hacker’s task easy. Choose a VOIP service providers such as BELNIS.com – they have the know-how and the experience to make your VOIP network secure, productive and glitch-free.

The Best Computer Networking Solutions & Affordable Network Migration Services

If you have plans to setup a new computer network, it would be best to consult with a company that knows computer networking. The advantage is that your network will be hack-resistant (no network is hack-proof), and, it will adapt more easily to the technological changes that are bound to occur in the immediate future.

Although here in the USA we are a technologically advanced nation, there are numerous businesses out there equipped with a couple of dozen (or more) computers but none of which are networked. We've noticed staff going back and forth with thumb drives and we've also noted printers and scanners attached to individual computers.

Networking these peripherals can save businesses lots of money. A single high speed printer can be attached to dozens of computers. In fact, the days of using dedicated printers are long gone. These days computers are networked with technologically advanced color printers that combine scanning and printing.

A well networked office reduces human movement. Files can be sent and accessed by authorized personnel across the entire network.

You can setup a centralized backup device with onsite and offsite backup facility so that you never lose data in the event of a server crash.

But for all this to happen in a flawless manner, you need to consult with the best computer networking solutions provider, i.e. Belnis.com.

Belnis.com can not only linkup all your intelligent equipment, it can also provide you with servers, routers, switches and workstations that are right for your establishment. Everything from delivery of hardware to secured wiring is handled by us.

Over time, as business expands or amalgamations occur, network migration becomes a necessity. Network migration is an opportunity for technology and hardware upgrades. This also provides you access to new technologies and features so that they can be leveraged to either grow or strengthen your IT support.

Network migration also presents an important advantage to consider; customization. You can have features incorporated that support the uniqueness of your business model. This is perhaps the most important of your considerations when refreshing or migrating existing infrastructure to a new network.

Belnis.com also looks at existing standards that are in use by each business entity, and makes certain that network migration does not in any way compromise on those standards.

With Belnis.com, you can also opt for a staggered roll out, e.g. Access/Edge first, followed by Aggregation and then Core and so on.

Finally Belnis.com provides 100% customer support after the network rollout or migration. We have many plans to suit every type of business size and activity.

Flexible Offsite Backup & Offsite Backup Services

Offsite backup is backup data that is stored at any location other than the location of the computer from which the data was backed up.

CD-ROMs and External Drives May Not Help

Many businesses backup all their critical data onto external disk(s), CD-ROMs or pen drives and these media are often stored in the office itself – probably in a filing cabinet right next to the computer from which the data was backed up. At most, some businesses would store the external backup disks at a small warehouse or leased storage facility nearby.

Studies have proved that this form of data backup is far from secure. Any disaster that destroys the computer (other than a simple computer crash), can and usually will, also destroy the backed up data. Take for instance fire, or flood or tornado or hurricane damage.

For the above reason, it is vital to store any backed up data at a location that is hundreds of miles away from the office. Storing data a few miles away may not help as natural disasters usually cover a wide area and may also destroy the location where you’ve stored the backup data.

The modern way to backup your vital data is by using offsite backup and offsite backup services in the form of automated online backup service.

IT Consulting Richmond requires an internet connection and the data is backed onto servers provided by the online backup service provider. The backup usually happens automatically via an application provided by the service provider. For example, Belnis backups your data onto two servers located hundreds of miles apart. These servers are in turn located hundreds (probably thousands) of miles away from your office.

The backup is automated via the software provided and can be configured to suit your requirement. Should you require the backed up data, it is available to you at your finger tips. A few clicks of the mouse and you can access your data.

Statistically, backed up data is accessed more to recover accidentally deleted files than to recover from data disasters. However, every once in a while, businesses need to access the entire data to recover from disaster as happened twice in the past few months – first during the NY Floods and then during the excessive cold weather. In both instances computers (especially those used by businesses located at ground level) were severely damaged. The cold weather too destroyed hundreds of .

Businesses that had availed themselves of the online, offsite backup services were able to download the entire data onto their new hard drives and were able to restart from where they left-off before the disaster. This saved them tens of thousands of dollars in terms of man-hours that would otherwise have been lost.

Belnis.com has several highly flexible Managed IT Support plans. We can also customize plans to suit your specific requirement.

The Best Online Backup Services and Wireless Network Security

Sooner or later it happens – you lose vital data and realize that you did not have a backup for it. We’ve studied companies that have a regular backup policy in place and found that in almost all cases, they require their staff to backup data each Friday. We ask you, what happens if your computer crashes on Thursday or your laptop was lost or stolen Thursday night or was damaged on Friday afternoon?

Case to consider

Just last week we attended a case wherein all computers in an office had completely frozen over and when the staff attempted to restart the computers, almost none worked! We had to take away the hard-disks and carefully recover the data from each of them. Needless to say, the entire process was very time consuming and expensive.

A very cost-effective solution

BELNIS offers a Cloud Computing Services that is the best online backup service currently available. We provide the customized software that can be configured to automatically backup all your data to two state-of-the-art facilities located hundreds of miles apart.

Your data is encrypted and securely transmitted using a unique 256 bit encryption key that only you can access. The stored files too are similarly encrypted. Should the unfortunate happen and you need to access your files, you can do so 24 x 7 with a few clicks of your mouse.

Junk your external drives and save money too

Fact is, even today most businesses move data from their laptop or desktop computers onto their external hard drives. They do this assuming that the external hard drive will never fail. In reality, external drives too have a lifespan which is measured in x number of reads and writes. Sooner or later, external drives too fail and when they do, they usually take all your archived data with them to the landfill site.

With our online Disaster Recovery Plan, you won’t have to spend money buying external hard drives, much less spend money on recovering data from a dead hard drive.

The Belnis State-Of-the-Art Wireless Network Security

Today, the sad truth is that hacking has become big business. Rival businesses would love to know what your new product is going to be, the intended launch date and most importantly, the intended pricing strategy. Imagine if this information got into the hands of your rivals.

While security guards might protect people from physically stealing business files and papers, what about data that is transmitted wirelessly via routers and Bluetooth devices?

While most routers have some basic encryption security, the sad truth is that the cookie cutter factory configured security is woefully inadequate to face the rigours of modern day hacking technology. Besides, you will be amazed at just how much data is transmitted directly from computer to iPads, Tabs and Smart phones via totally unsecure, unencrypted Bluetooth devices.

Seal these loopholes today via the Belnis totally secure, Wireless Network Security. Our Disaster Recovery Planning include Threat Tracking, Vulnerability Assessment, Protection from Viruses and Trojans and Secure User Access.
