I wanted to post a quick reminder about storage of network documentation. Last week I ran out to help a larger client who was experiencing a full-network outage. This is a sophisticated client with a small internal IT department and they call on us for project and emergency help when needed.

Wow have we been busy lately. Not that that is any excuse for not keeping up with our blog ????

Wireless is one of those double edged swords: it can serve a great function, but if it is not done right it can leave your systems open and vulnerable.
The upside of wireless networking is eliminating one more cable. You also have certain conveniences like working from a conference room without having to hunt for a data cable, working from a coworker’s desk on your own laptop while they work from their computer or even working from the outdoor patio for a bit so you get to see at least a little sunshine during the day. And all of this without having to string cables for people to trip over.
