Having a regular and up-to-date backup of your data and systems is essential in minimising downtime when your IT hardware fails. Most people only realise this when it is too late. COMPUPORT provides backup contracts which will give you peace of mind to know that your data is securely stored off-site.

In the event of a problem with your equipment, such as disk failure or a disaster situation in relation to your business or equipment as a whole such as theft, fire, flood or other natural disaster, you want to be sure that you are covered and your business isn’t negatively affected.

On average, 90% of the businesses and individual users audited lack full or useful backups, which could be used to restore their IT environment to a usable state in the event of a catastrophic disaster, quickly if at all.

Every 40 seconds, a company gets hit by a ransomware. Ransomware, as it is called, is malicious software that locks a device —computer, tablet or smartphone and demands a ransom to unlock it. It hits the device when navigating through various hacked websites, downloading a file or clicking a wrong link. great financial loss is incurred if data is not correctly protected and backed up.

We understand how difficult it can be to keep track of your business data backups. It can be difficult to discover the data that is, and more importantly is not being backed up and if the backups are reliable.

We will advise you on the best and most cost effective methods to protect your IT systems and software in the event of a disaster. Having your data offsite allows it to be secure, in the event of something occurring at your primary location, which would result in losing your data locally.

BUYING A DESKTOP PC

Buying a new laptop or desktop PC can be quite confusing.

Many people find it difficult to compare prices, features, processor types,etc to find the right choice in accordance with their requirements. In this post we will tell you the top 10 things to consider before buying a PC.

DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT COMPUPORT FOR ASSISTANCE.

1. Warranty

Warranty makes up the most important consideration for people when buying a system. Having one covered with the right kind of hardware warranty is essential and should be unconditional.

2. Processor
The Processor is one of the most important parts of a system and can mean the difference between a system that frequently hangs and the one that runs smoothly.

3. RAM
It is obvious that for more professional tasks and to run a Xeon Server there will be more RAM required than for merely using a PC for browsing the internet. Moreover, the RAM type may matter more than many people might consider.

4. Hard Disk
Hard Disk considerations might not mean much to a lay user, nonetheless, having the right amount of disk space and disk type might be the necessary for the efficient management of regular tasks for a professional.

5. Brand

Some brands offer better warrantees, whereas others offer software packages that come with the system.

6. Peripherals
Peripheral devices such as printers,scanners,etc can significantly increase or reduce your price for buying a new PC. It might be better off buying a system with a DVD combo drive if you do not require writing data to DVDs.

7. Size
Some people prefer buying larger laptops for a better display screen, whereas others prefer smaller and more portable sizes. I

8. Operating System Type.
Users with minimum requirements may be better off buying a Windows Starter or Home Premium version e.g. of Windows 7. For users who wish to take advantage of more enhanced features and require more effective tools such as connecting their PC to a domain are naturally better off buying a Professional.

9. Price
This brings us to our next consideration of price. There might be some very fancy features that you want in your new PC. However, if you don’t have the cash to pay for lets say a graphic card with 1GB memory, than you might be better off choosing suitable alternatives.

10.  Usability
It is important that you  consider the tasks that you will be performing on your PC. If you wish to buy a computer for simply browsing the internet and using some online services than it might be better to buy a single core computer which satisfies your minimum requirements. On the contrary if you require using it for heavy video editing and professional work, then it might be better to buy a system that has enhanced multimedia options.
