Network & PC Setup
Whether you have a new home PC to setup, or an entire office full of equipment, use us to make it happen. We excel at planning, purchasing, installing, and maintaining your equipment, no matter how complicated. Find out more about each of these steps below.
Planning
In order to set up your office infrastructure such that it increases your productivity, we plan the configuration before any hardware is moved around. Depending on the complexity of the project,
we will meet with you to learn about your office, work flow, existing equipment and needs, and desired capabilities. With this knowledge, we will design a layout that will enable your organization to work as efficiently as possible.
Let us share a free consultation with you to discuss the feasibility and cost of your project.
Purchasing
Corvallis Technical has contracts and purchasing methods in place that enable us to find and deliver equipment, services, and software, at competitive rates. We are authorized resellers of all Dell equipment, and of our own line of PCs and servers. When recommending devices to purchase, we are able to draw on our vast array of available products to find just the right device that you're looking for.
Installation
Our experience shows: we can get your network set up how and where you want it. If you need wiring changes throughout your building, or PCs set up in locations across the country, we make it happen with licensed professionals all guided by the same design. Offering 24x7 service, we make sure that there is as little interruption in your
work as possible. At the end of a project, we will present to you the documentation for your systems, including passwords, maps, addresses, and other information so that you always retain control. As your site changes its needs, the documentation is kept up to date to match. Often, during installation, multiple versions of the systems will need
to be kept running concurrently: we will make sure that the transition from old to new impacts you as little as possible, which preserving a way back to previous practices, as needed.
Maintenance
Once everything is in place, let us keep it running in top condition. Our management and monitoring systems are revolutionizing business, and providing peace of mind, to businesses and home PC owners nationwide. Check out our Managed Servces to learn more about 24x7 hardware monitoring, automatic backup, business-grade anti-virus, and remote control of your equipment.
Case Study - Pillar Consulting Group, Inc.
Pillar Consulting Group, a civil, structural, and facilites engineering firm approached us as they were beginning to move from one office space to another. Their
existing office was a combination of functional wires overlaid on top of the previous tenant's wiring systems. The project involved moving their entire computer network while also adding several new capabilities. In addition, a branch office located hundreds of miles needed to retain access to company information during the move.
The first requirement was that wiring be placed in all of the walls that were being built in their new office suite. We discussed their needs, and laid out plans for where the wires should go to best faciliate the initial occupation, and provide maximum flexibility for the future. Next, we discussed their existing equipment, and decided on which file server technologies would newly augment their system. Finally, plans were made for a teleconferencing/conference room.
We assembled as much of the new equipment in the new office as possible before the move, and then moved the data and network routers to the new location over the course of an evening. The next morning, data was accessible in office, and Pillar employees were able to continue working.
The teleferencing room uses two displays, a host PC, and a high-quality webcam. A projector shines to one side of the room, while on the other wall is located an HD display and the webcam. The multiple displays and camera enable viewers over the internet to see the presentations as they happen on the opposite wall, and to have their own
faces displayed just above their camera for all to see. Finally, custom hardware was built and installed in the central table that allows laptops to hook up to the TV or projector, gives USB connections to the host computer, and provides power and network support.
Finally, wireless networks cover the entire suite, providing access to guests and staff alike.
The Pillar Consulting Group move stands as a prime example of all facets of IT support with Corvallis Technical: from planning and purchasing, to installation and maintainence.
