PROJECT 3 – PEER TO PEER NETWORK UPGRADE
PEER TO PEER NETWORK UPGRADE
This project consisted of upgrading a standard peer to peer network with only a file server and client PCs through to a fully functional client / server based solution.
Our recommended solution was Microsoft Small Business Server 2011, with integrated Exchange and Sharepoint it makes for an affordable solution for small to medium sized businesses.
We then set about putting in place a strategy for upgrading their network and working closely with the client to avoid any disruption to services.
