We have been busy with a new website: http://www.cameradynamics.net/. This website, although basic, can store thousands of items for sale in the custom eStore database. There is a backend to add new products, and all customer orders are emailed through to the office straight from the website.
A terminal server is a single computer running a software package that allows multiple, simultaneous remote connections. With permissions setup to limit access to certain files, this will allow your employees to access files from any location!
We have been asked this question several times by our customers, so here is a simple answer. Hosting is needed by websites to keep tham accessable at all times. Web sites are hosted on servers, which are special computer systems that are kept running 24 hours a day. When you type in a web site address or send an email, a Domain Name Server is contacted (normally managed by your internet provider) and it is then routed to the correct server, which is hosting the required content. Hosting can do more than just emails and web site storage though. Databases, and even your company server can be "co-located", so that your company files can be accessed quickly from Wangara, Joondalup, or Tokyo!

Is your MYOB access time getting slow? Do you have multiple database programs running on each of your computers? Do you need people to access work files from off site locations? If any of those are true, then a Terminal Server may be the ultimate solution for you.
Is your MYOB access time getting slow? Do you have multiple database programs running on each of your computers? Do you need people to access work files from off site locations? If any of those are true, then a Terminal Server Computer may be the ultimate solution for you. A terminal server is a single computer running a software package that allows multiple, simultaneous remote connections. All information is processed on that single computer and the speed is much greater than VPN as the only information that is sent over the internet/network is, not that actual datafile, but just a virtual screen shot as if you were physically on that computer. This makes MYOB, Retail Manager or other database programs so much faster. Best of all, a terminal server can be setup on just about any computer (must have professional/ultimate/server version of Windows, and 2GB+ RAM), for under $400. For more information on setting up a Terminal Server, please contact us.
DCN Solutions has access to all the latest technologies in Perth, including Solid State hard drives (SSD's). These drives have no moving parts and use a parallel bus architecture, so there is no spin up time or defragmentation needed... EVER! The down side is that these drives are still fairly expensive (about 10x more than the equivalent size in a SATA hard drive) individual data cells only have a limited lifecycle of around 10,000 to 100,000 read/write cycles. However, this drive would be perfect for storing data files and running database applications extremely quickly, such as MYOB, Quickbooks, and any of the DCN Solutions Job Trackers, Business Managers and Mailing List Editors!
