NYC Network Support & Design Targets Web 2.0 Workers

February 23rd, 2010
Uptime asked:


As some 70 million members of Generation Y—those born between 1980 and 1995–enter the workforce amid an impending recession, small businesses are scrambling to figure out how to harness Gen-Y’s familiarity and ease with Web 2.0 technologies while trimming their budgets at the same time. By designing and managing an office computer network that makes allowances for how these tech-savvy workers operate, small businesses can maximize productivity and decrease turnover.

Gone are the days of young employees putting in 40-60 hours at a cubicle. That’s not to say they don’t work as many hours over the long haul, it’s just that those hours are just as likely to be put in from home during evenings, weekends and vacations—or even during transit. That’s why incorporating NYC remote access into your server design (http://www.uptimeus.com/Services/systems-integration.html

) is imperative for companies across the NYC region.

Generation Y employees are well versed with Web 2.0 applications such as MySpace, Facebook, and even the immensely popular LinkedIn. They’re comfortable with online collaboration and are just as likely to brainstorm ideas for your next big project via text as they are to e-mail you. And since they’re so connected to both each other and potential employers via a variety of online communities, small businesses will soon find during the impending recession that unless they streamline their New York City Information Technology solutions in a way that draws this new generation of workers into the fold they’ll quickly find them leaving for more IT savvy companies.

NYC Network management and design is, of course, a sophisticated IT service. Not many companies’ internal IT departments can both design a sophisticated evolving network in Manhattan that includes remote access and firewall protection http://www.uptimeus.com/Services/maintenance-plans.html) while still maintaining network performance, performing virus detections and inoculations, periodically upgrading software and hardware and troubleshooting repairs.

In fact, most IT departments spend the bulk of their time maintaining the existing network, repairing hardware, and upgrading software. By relying on outsourced computer network support, though, companies can cost-effectively integrate Web 2.0 into their NY IT solutions and thus attract better more productive talent.

The good news is that the same computer networks and IT services that maximize the potential of the Web 2.0 workforce are also good for a company’s bottom line. Outsourcing IT to a company that’s well versed in social media, evolving network design cutting edge server management, and the latest firewall security means a company can free capital normally spent on an internal IT department for core business objectives.

I need help, I am the Network Administrator for a company that is moving to a new location?

February 13th, 2010
nyc718kb asked:


I am the Network Administrator for a company that is moving to a new location and wishes to upgrade its computer systems and double the work force. Currently, the company has 35 employees running Windows 98 on a Windows NT 4.0 domain. 10 employees are in management, 5 are in programming, 5 are in sales, and 15 are in graphics and development. The company wishes to create a research team and provide me with an IT staff, as well as increase the size of the other teams. At the new location, the office is already wired for Internet connection. The Internet Service Provider has issued the company an IP address range of 128.174.7.0 to 128.174.7.64. I must provide a proposal that includes a Server solution, the amount of new computers, printers, and servers to purchase, and the Operating System to install. I must also create a plan for IP addresses of the computers and servers. Finally, I must add network printers and shared group permissions for printers and file server storage and be sure to provide the groups I create and the members of the groups.

I am new to this job straight out of college and am a little perplexed. I had some ideas, but I wanted to get some fellow IT pros opinions. Could someone please help me out in devising a simple enough plan?

The Secret Of Successful Fiber Optic Cable Management

February 10th, 2010
Colin Yao asked:


Why is proper fiber optic cable management so critical?

Service providers have deployed more and more fiber optic cables for their high bandwidth, low costs, greater reliability and flexibility. But just deploying is not enough; a successful fiber network also requires a solid infrastructure based on a professional fiber optic cable management system.

Fiber optic cable management affects a network’s reliability, performance, cost and maintenance. It provides the ability to reconfigure network, restore service and implement new services quickly.

Four goals to achieve with professional fiber optic cable management

1. Protect fiber optic cable from microbends and macrobends loss

Microbends are small deformities in the optical fiber and macrobends are larger bends of the fiber cable. Fiber bends beyond the specified minimum bending radius can cause signal loss or even break the fiber, causing service disruption.

As a rule of thumb, the minimum bending radius should be bigger than ten times the outer diameter of the fiber cable. Telcordia recommends a minimum 38mm bending radius for 3mm fiber optic patch cords.

Fiber optic cable management system should provide bend radius protection at all points where a fiber optic cable makes a bend. This helps ensure the network’s long-term reliability; thus reduces the network operation cost by reducing network down time.

2. Well defined fiber optic cable management routing paths

The leading cause of fiber optic cable minimum bend radius violation is improper routing of fibers by fiber installation technicians.

In a proper fiber cable management system, routing paths are clearly defined and easy to follow; such that the technician has no other option but to route the cables properly.

Well defined routing paths reduce the training time required for technicians and increase the uniformity of work done. It also makes accessing individual fibers easier, quicker and safer.

3. Easy access to installed optical fibers

Allowing easy access to installed fibers is critical in maintaining proper bend radius protection. The system should be designed to ensure that individual fibers can be installed or removed without inducing a macrobend on an adjacent fiber. Accessibility is critical during network reconfiguration.

4. Physical protection of installed optical fibers

Well defined fiber optic cable management system physically protects the fibers from accidental damage by technicians and equipment throughout the network.

Fiber optic cable management system procurement

When making the decision on purchasing your fiber optic cable management systems, the goal is getting the most cost-effective system that provides the best cable management, flexibility, and growth capabilities.

Going with the cheapest approaches for fiber optic cable management can cost more money in the long run. A strong fiber cable management system will enable you to extract the maximum value from your installed optical fiber networks.

Specifying Fiber Cable Management Systems: Cost and Value

As a means of keeping operational costs down, service providers around the world are increasingly turning to systems integrators to install their networks.

This practice allows the service provider’s technicians to focus on operations and maintenance, rather than network installation. There is, however, an inherent risk in this practice.

As the purchasing decision for the fiber cable management system moves from the service provider’s engineering group to the systems integration prime contractor, the cable management features of the distribution system are generally not specified.

What can happen, then, is the equipment installed may lack key features and functionalities. In light of the importance of proper cable management within the ODF, the service provider needs to specify the basic requirements for the cable management system.

There are several industry-standard specifications that can assist service providers in writing specifications for their cable management systems. Two of these specifications are:

• Telcordia Generic Requirements for Fiber Distribution Frames GR-449-CORE, Issue 2, July 2003

• Network Equipment Building System (NEBS) Generic Equipment Requirements, TR-NWT-000063

I am planning to do my internship in canada of about 4 months, after which I would like to find a job there?

January 22nd, 2010
Success & Money asked:


I am about to complete my MBA in Germany and I an asian, I am planning to immigrate to canada and I have an offer to do an unpaid /subsidized internship in canada, I can support my self financially for 6 months but after that I would have to find a paid job.

How tough is it to find a job in canada. I am presently pursuing my MBA in Project management , but all my work experience is in the field marketing and services and not in IT.

the company claims that during the internship I would be able to have a job/alumni network , how much is it possible to use such a network ? I know that these networks work for USA but what about canada is it the same?
I dont want to go back and apply again for migration as this would take very long I am hoping that once I get to canada and complete my internship I would be able to get a job and and get a PR (not citizenship) there itself , I know tht this process takes 18 months from germany itself but what about canada is it possible.
