    How Smart Homes Actually Work

    The fast growth of technology has led to the introduction of exciting products for your home. Much like we can download and use applications on our smartphones; the same idea is now available for appliances we use every day in our homes. A home equipped with such technology is called a smart home.

    Smart homes are designed to fit the different life styles for each owner. The smart home technology is highly automated, efficient, and convenient for operation in the home. This means that the home owner can control various appliances and the settings for the appliance with a remote control or their smartphone. For example, the home owner can adjust the temperature setting on their thermostat or turn on and off lights in the home by simply using an application on their smartphone.

  • Why Break/Fix Is More Expensive Than Managed Services

    Why Break/Fix Is More Expensive Than Managed Services

    When something goes wrong with your vehicle, you probably take it in to be worked on by a mechanic, who can quickly diagnose the problem and take the steps necessary to correct it. Often, the problem isn’t the part itself, but the way that you maintain the car. For example, if you don’t change the oil regularly, the dirty oil will eventually damage the engine, causing more headaches (and a bigger repair bill) than had you just taken the 30 minutes to get the oil changed in the first place.

    In many ways, your IT network is similar to your car. All of the parts of your network must be working properly in order for it to work efficiently, or even at all. If one part isn’t working up to par, or stops working altogether, the effects can ripple through the entire network — even causing it to shut down altogether. And much like serious problems in your automobile can be prevented by following the maintenance schedule and working with a qualified mechanic to find and fix small problems before they become big ones, serious problems in your network can be prevented by regular monitoring and maintenance.
