| 813396 | 2009-09-24 09:46:00 | :help: As part of my studies I have to write an RFP for a business setting itself up for web access, web site and hosting. I have found a fair bit about hosting but have absolutely no idea what sort of router a business would be using for 3 branches and servers etc, can someone point me in the right direction please. :thanks | gary67 (56) | ||
| 813397 | 2009-09-24 10:06:00 | Is it just web access they (the hypothetical business) needs, or do they also need to connect the 3 branches together securely, handle VoIP, or anything like that? You might be able to find some whitepapers on the Telecom or Gen-I websites, as they (used to - don't know if they still do) sell/rent Mako routers to SMEs. As these routers are quite expensive, they probably prepared some solid business cases to help with marketing. |

| 813398 | 2009-09-24 19:42:00 | Well I am assuming some sort of VPN and possibly Voip although nothing is mentioned for that but the course notes need serious updating. I had forgotten about Gen-I thanks for that tip will have a look tonight | gary67 (56) | ||
| 813399 | 2009-09-25 02:24:00 | Two devices: 1) Linksys AM300 2) Linksys WRT54GL Pickup both from PBTech for ~$200 in total Upgrade the AM300 to 1.19.04 firmware (Fixes issues in Half-bridge) Upgrade the WRT54GL to Tomato 1.25 It's *the best* small-business device for QoS, as well as a host of other features!! I'm actually at a business site right now installing just that :) For Web-access, make sure you propose ADSL2+ if available in their area. For Web Hosting, they could either go with a small VPS from the likes of SiteHost, or even just a standard website account with their ISP? |
