In any organisation, the network often develops in a disjointed way, with new servers added for specific areas or applications. Over time, servers and workstations may be added or upgraded to new operating systems and applications, whilst others are left with older versions. Compatibility issues, speed inconsistencies between users and inefficiencies caused by duplication, combine to slow the network, making it tired - and in need of a ReFresh!
Speed disappears as memory hungry applications are added and storage becomes clogged with rarely used software. Flexibility is lost as different manufacturers’ operating systems require a different expert to run them. With Akhter’s management tools the network can be administered simply, by one person, via a single log-in.
All of the software that Akhter writes is developed in line with Microsoft’s “Zero Administration Toolkit”. This allows Akhter’s management tools to take full advantage of the powerful features embedded in Microsoft’s operating systems. It also means that Akhter’s solutions are always “open” and fully compatible with other Microsoft compatible software. No proprietary routes are taken.
Because Microsoft operating systems and applications are standard on the vast majority of home PCs, staff in the workplace or students at school or college will have a level of expectation. Running a fast and current network is another plus point for your organisation.
Often key technical staff time is taken up with the everyday running of the network. Akhter’s powerful management tools empower department managers to administer many day to day issues, leaving technical staff free to develop the network.
