Workstation Management
Managing a number of different workstations can quickly become a large task. Threats from viruses, malware and spyware are a major concern.
But keeping your systems running at peak performance involves more than just protection. It also involves an understanding of how the
major components of your systems interact. Blue Coast Networks, Inc. takes a tiered approach to your technology assets.
At the heart of a healthy system is a well-tuned system that includes BIOS updates and other vendor provided patches. Next is an
up to date Operating System such as Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP Professional. This system then needs all
applicable service packs, patches,
and other updates that have been provided since the systems release. These workstations are then given proper anti-virus and anti-spyware solutions that
are monitored from a central location. At this point continued monitoring is required to detect any potential issues such as failing hardware.
This is all provided in our comprehensive network audit and upgrade solution pack.
Utilizing centralized updating solutions such as Microsoft SUS server allows us to granularly apply only those patches which your systems need.
It is unfortunate, but errors and bugs do occur in these patches that are released. It is critical to assess every update before installation to prevent
unwanted problems.
