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.

5 Reasons to Use Cloud Backup Services for your Home or Business Computers
Written by Jason Disbrow
That picture above is only a small percentage of failed hard drives I've had to replace in my 7 years of business. Some I was able to recover the data off of without too much trouble, but a lot were a complete loss that customers couldn't afford to pay an expensive data recovery firm to attempt to recover their data. I say attempt because there are plenty of drives that can't be recovered no matter how much you spend! People out there please understand, it's not a matter of if your hard drive is going to fail, it when & a lot of the time you won't get a warning. Either you'll go to start it in the morning and get an error or you'll be using it and it will lock up. So if you don't want to lose all your business data or personal data like photos you need to at the very least be backing up on an external hard drive....bare mininum. But if you really want to make sure your data is protected you need a cloud backup solution to go along with it.
Here are my 5 reasons for using a Cloud Backup

Hi everyone don't mind the mess here, I'm inplementing a new blog system on the website and will hopefully update a lot more then I have been. Thanks!
Simply put managed services is like having a full-time IT person on the payroll but with a sliver of the cost. With managed services we monitor your computers 24/7, provide virus protection, unlimited remote support, continuous tune-ups, and most important piece of mind that you're business will be running as efficient as possibe.
Another very important factor to consider is with managed services ideally we would have identified the problem and hopefully have fixed it before you even knew there was a problem or if it's a more serious problem identify it quickly to minimize any impact to business. Contrast that with a traditional "call if you have a problem" aka break / fix support, where a problem can fester and get worse and potentially catastrophic and cost great sums to repair.

If you use website's such as facebook, gmail, instagram, or yahoo just to name a few your senstive information including username and passwords COULD HAVE (key word) been exposed over the past two years due to a vuluneribily in the encryption these websites were using. It's recommended that if you have a password on any of these websites that you change your passwords on them. While it doesn't look like most major bank or brokarage firm was affected (the exception being USAA) if you used the same password or something similar on an affected website and say your online bank change the password there as well and any where else you may have used that same password. In fact it's recommended that everyone change their passwords every 6 months....but I know no one actually does that and I bet most people who read this has never changed their password once they setup their account. So take this opportunity now and change your passwords.
Here's a list of known affected websites:
- Tumblr
- Yahoo
- Gmail
- Yahoo Mail
- GoDaddy
- Intuit Turbo Tax
- Dropbox
- Minecraft
- OkCupid

Here's a new service we just introduced a few weeks ago. Basically it's enterprise grade access points that we strategically place around your home and outside if you wish that gives you wireless coverage everyone in your home. Usually not a probably with small homes but larger and two story homes usually always have weak or dead spots for their wireless internet especially if the installer put the highspeed modem down in the basement, garage or off in a far corner of the home.
Are you tired of only getting wireless signal in only half your house or having extremely weak and slow signals? Can't get wireless outside and have to stay indoors to work on those beautiful warm and sunny days? Then JRD Tech can help, thanks to new technology we can place access points wirelessly around your house and outside giving you wireless internet everywhere in your home, inside and out. If you're interested please give us a call or send us a message on the contact us page. Thanks.
