IT Infrastructure

Behind every workstation and project folder sits the infrastructure that connects them: the office network, Wi-Fi, firewalls, servers, internet connections and phones. The articles in this category explain how that infrastructure should be built for firms that move large files all day. They cover network speeds that suit Revit worksharing, remote access that does not crawl, connecting more than one office, phone systems, and planning upgrades before something fails. Everything here is written in plain language for architecture, engineering and construction firms in New York City that want their office to keep up with their projects. Most of the problems covered here show up as slowness long before they show up as outages.
