Give Your Server the Room it Needs



Companies that run on a network or that need a lot of computing resources often have one or more workhorse computer(s) known as a server. The servers house the main programs and share the resources between multiple users using a cabling system. Having a server room will help protect this huge asset to your business.

Servers generate a lot of heat and need cooling devices to prevent system malfunctions or thermal shut down. When you have a server room you can protect the servers with climate control. If these servers are the cornerstone of your business then you also need to consider outside threats like earthquakes, fires, and theft.
Examples of the types of protection available would be ceramic paneling to block heat from the outside, fire suppression systems that use gas to extinguish flames, and locking server cabinets that will protect the servers in the event of an earthquake. But the best way to protect your server room is to design the room with the help of cabling professionals who will assess the room and recommend what type of cabling would work best for your business.  They know the benefits of fiber optic cabling, the disadvantages of copper wiring, and speed capabilities of structured data cabling. Working with them to design and install the cabling system for your server room lays the perfect foundation for any business’ computer infrastructure.

Customer Satisfaction Guaranteed



VoIP phone systems offer businesses a way to connect with their customers like phone systems never have before. Not only are they more cost effective for business owners but the VoIP phone service includes features that help customer satisfaction ratings go through the roof.
One of the features is where the system calls multiple lines until it finds an employee who answers. This enables the business to gain customer satisfaction through personal interaction. Plus customers respond well to having their calls answered in just a few rings and when they have very little of their time spent transferring them from department to department.
In a different scenario the phone has another great feature. During a very important staff meeting where no one can answer the phone, there is a VoIP feature called voicemail to email that will transcribe the voicemail and email it to the employee. This helps eliminate lost post it notes and hastily-scribbled-barely-legible phone numbers. The email is automatically generated and waiting in the inbox for when the employee returns.
Another great thing about VoIP is the sound quality. VoIP far surpasses the sound quality of a traditional phone line. There is less interference and greater clarity which helps your company sound more professional.
Not sure what VoIP phone system is right for your office? Contact the professionals at Affordable Telephone. They will come out and talk to you about what it is you want from your business phone system and make a recommendation based on your needs. Don’t wait for your customer ratings to drop, call us today!

No Power? No Problem!



Harsh winter storms are destructive and hindering. They cause power lines to go down leaving many people without an effective way to communicate. As a business owner you depend on your phone to keep you in touch with your customers but what happens when they can’t contact you? Reliable communication is a must! VoIP phone systems are a reliable form of telephone communication while having the flexibility to handle natural disasters. With features like call continuity you will never miss a call. This feature allows you to have your VoIP system automatically forward calls to a mobile device when your main office line loses connectivity. You will be the business with a working phone system while all of your competitors remain unavailable to their clients. And don’t forget, if the weather is bad enough that neither you nor any of your employees can even get to the office you can switch it up and have your VoIP phone system use its forwarding feature to forward all your calls to a home or cell phone. This will help safeguard your company so you won’t ever be unavailable to your customers, even in a blizzard! So switch to a VoIP phone system this winter and ensure your company can meet your customers’ demands all winter long without interruption.
