Computer Network Maintenance in Spain

Basic equipment maintenance such as

• preventive maintenance measures before problems occur
• data backup, restore and recovery at data loss
• internal and external component cleaning
• software updates and hardware upgrades
• services administered on a scheduled basis.

The following information represents just some of the procedures of a typical preventive maintenance contract program:

• Data Backups

There are two reasons for data loss; either there was no backup or the media used failed to successfully capture the data. To reduce the possibility of data loss we require clients to maintain backups on Tape, CDRW, DVD-RW, SAN or external HDD. Floppy disks have a high rate of failure and should not be used to protect vital information. Backups are verified during each service visit to ensure that critical data is being safely captured. In the event of a system failure data will be transferred to another working system while repairs are being made.

• Anti Virus Protection

Clients are required to maintain a current version of an anti-virus software. Systems will be configured to automatically perform virus definition updates and perform full system virus scans weekly. The anti-virus software is configured to scan in-coming and out-going emails, the most common method of virus transfer. Anti-virus settings and definition files are verified during each service visit to ensure that data is protected from virus damage. Our product of choice is Symantec's Norton Anti-Virus.

• Firewall Protection

Firewall Protection Software keeps personal data in and hackers out. Right out of the box, it makes your PC invisible on the Internet so that hackers can’t find it. The program’s intelligent intrusion prevention technology blocks suspicious Internet traffic. And easy-to-use privacy controls prevent personal information from being sent out without your knowledge.

• Internal & External Component Cleaning

Dust is one of the leading causes of hardware failure. All moving components are thoroughly cleaned and lubricated during service visits. The case is opened and dust is removed from the motherboard and all system boards. The CPU fan, power supply fan and any other board fans are cleaned, lubricated and tested.

All data cables are checked to be sure they are securely seated on system boards. CD and floppy drives are opened, cleaned and tested for data transfer. External components such as keyboard, mouse, monitor and printers are cleaned of dust and debris and all cable connections are checked. Connections to surge protectors or UPS are checked.

• Software Updates/System Optimization

Operating system updates and patches are downloaded and installed to ensure that your system has the most current version of the OS software. Internet browser software updates or upgrades are preformed as software changes become available.

Updated component drivers are installed as they become available or are required by system changes. Hardware configurations are checked to be sure that they are operating efficiently and without conflict with other components.

Defrag and scan disk maintenance programs are run to detect any problems that your hard drive may have. Specialty error diagnostic software is run on other system components to verify that they are in good working order. Hard drive file organization is checked and any misplaced files are moved to their correct data folders. Any temporary or unneeded files are located and removed. 

• Network Optimisation & Security

CompuRed-Networks perform periodic network performance checks and will take immediate action to keep clients networks running at peek performance. Additionally network security is constantly being monitored and improved to ensure maximum data security and privacy.
