As you know JRD Tech is committed to providing the best service to our customers through our Managed Services plans and a la carte options we provided businesses with monitoring, maintenance, network & computer security and support. Today I'm going to talk about security, specifically our Web Protection product. With network & computer security I like you to think in terms of layers as there's not a single security measure or application that can provide 100% protection against every threat out there & really there's nothing that can provide 100% protection, however, with employee education and having our multiple layers of security in place the chances of having a data breach, virus or malware infection, or getting hacked are reduced to near zero chance.
Is it Time your Business Upgraded to a Server?
Written by Jason Disbrow
We already built two of these servers for small local businesses and I thought other business owners might be interested as well. This server is perfect for a small business of a dozen or so computers or less looking to move from working on peer-to-peer shared folders on their desktops (or emailing each other files) to a real server environment without breaking the bank. The server features a very sturdy Lenovo chassis with a Xeon E3, 8gb ram, Windows Server 2012 Essentials, and we can tailor your storage to meet your needs. The configurations we've been doing so far have been a simple RAID1 using WD RE4 or HGST Ultrastar enterprise drives. Here are some benefits of moving to a server enviroment:
Every day there seems more pressure on businesses to deliver more for less. At the same time, there is a growing list of activities required to keep a business running. Back-up. Anti-virus. Server speed. Connectivity. Hardware. Software. All this puts a strain on resources.

IMO the single best upgrade for a computer or laptop is a solid-state hard drive (SSD) currently traditional hard drive are the main bottle neck in computers as the CPU has to wait until the hard drive serves the data to the cpu can process it. Sorry if that's too technical but bottom line it will make your computer noticable faster, more then any other upgrade you can do. Of course there are exceptions, if you're computer is older then 5 years old or if you're still running a single-core processer then a new computer would be the way to go. Feel free to e-mail us or click the social links on the upper left corner of this website to ask on one of our social networks.

Hi everyone I'm working on a new blog post that will explain the differences between all the various brands of tablets on the market. The pro's and cons of each and how you should decide which one to get based on your needs. Look for that article before Thanksgiving. In the mean time if you happen to already know what you like I've created a store with all the various new tablets including the iPad Air. I personally selected these tablets as they are the best ones in their respective categories. You have to especially watch Android tablets as it can get confusing with a lot of similar sounding cheap knock-offs that are slow and break easily. Stick with these tablets I recommend in this store. Again look for my blog post in the next day or two if you're confused on what tablet to buy.
The store is powered by Amazon.com and check is done by Amazon, so you know it's secured and trustworthy. Please share or tweet this post, thanks.

If anyone is looking for a good back to school laptop or just a nice new laptop for themselves I highly recommend you check out the Sony Viao line which is onsale at Amazon right now. Any of of these models will be more than capable of getting the job done in terms of productivity but for price/performance and longevity I would recommend the models with the Core i5 it's Intel's mainstream cpu, of course if you wish you can also go for the Core i7 which is the cream of the crop, the price to performance ratio is a little bit lower than the i5 but it's faster overall.

The most important component of any computer is arguably the hard drive, this is where all your photos, documents, financial information, and other personal data is stored. Now despite being the most important component, it's also the most unreliable of all the work I do fixing computers a failing or failed hard drive is one of the most common issues. Sometimes I'm able to catch the hard drive failure before it's too late and get the data off with little trouble, other times it's too late and without a backup all data is lost. Main reason hard drives aren't built like they use to is primarily to keep costs down. A GB of data 10yrs ago cost over $10.00, a GB of data today costs like then $0.10. And what does this tell you, a hard drive 10-15yrs ago use to carry a 10yrs warranty, then it dropped to 5yrs, then 3yrs and now most hard drives carry a warranty of 1 to 2 years. With the exception of enterprise class hard drives which carry a 5 year warranty but also costs double what a standard consumer drive costs (worth it IMO).
Regardless even if hard drives were built to last it's still a good idea to have a backup, in fact I would say it's more than a good idea. That's why I've tried to find the best online backup solution for my customers, and I've found it an unlimited online backup from Backblaze for $5 a month or less if you buy 1 or 2yrs in advanced. Your data is secured with AES encryption and can be accessed anytime you need it. Even if your backing up to an external hard drive you should think about getting a cloud backup solution because 1. how often do you remember to plug it in to backup, 2. do you take the backup drive with you everytime you leave the house? If not the backup drive is succeptable to the same dangers. Your home can be burgularized, there can be a fire, or a flood making both your backup and computer hard drive useless.
