If you are setting up a business network security should be one of your chief concerns. Any good small business network will be protected by both hardware and software firewalls that should be configured by a trained networking professional. However, further steps should be taken to protect both the network hardware and the valuable information that it stores.
Electrical power
Perhaps one of the greatest threats to computer networks is power surges and voltage spikes. In fact, it is not unknown for computers, servers and peripherals on entire networks to be destroyed by power surges when they have been left unprotected.
Because of this, some form of surge protector is essential that will prevent voltage spikes from damaging equipment. This should either block the surge or short the system so the voltage spike does not reach the equipment.
Most networks will also use uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to prevent brief power cuts from shutting down the network. These can ensure that the network stays up and running for anything for a few minutes to a number of hours depending on the equipment.
