|
Servers in small to medium sized businesses are used to centralize data, user accounts and other services. Centralizing your data facilitates sharing the data between users and controlling their access to it. Microsoft Windows servers allow us to set up and manage user accounts, passwords, security access groups and their permissions in one place. Centralizing your data also makes it easier to back it up. Instead of backing up ten (10) computers we can simply back up one. We also use |

servers to centralize your antivirus/spyware applications. Your server makes it possible for us to install and manage your antivirus (AV) application on the server and use one management console to manage it across your network of computers. Your AV application and subscription are then consistent across all of your computers.

Does your company use an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)? If you answered yes, GREAT! Acceptable Use Policies (AUP) are company provided guidelines for acceptable and non-acceptable uses for Internet, email, phone, computers and other electronic usages in a professional, school, or home environment. These guidelines are in place to protect the individual and company. It is easy to think most of these acceptable uses are ‘common knowledge’ or ‘no brainers’. However, laying the ground rules for your employees or |

Policies that protect |

even children can be very beneficial. AUP’s reinforce other policies, such as sexual harassment and confidentiality/non-disclosure agreements. AUP’s discourage employees from visiting inappropriate web sites where they might get viruses, using their computer for other inappropriate electronic purposes, and doing personal business at work. Granite highly recommends using an AUP within your business and also talking about your guidelines with your children. Setting expectations helps avoid potential problems. Examples |
