Network Hardware & Software Upgrades, Moves, and Changes in Atlanta

The four main types of network hardware are: 1) Routers – which direct traffic between networks, 2) Switches – which connect devices within a network, 3) Access Points – which provide wireless connectivity, and 4) Firewalls/Security Appliances – which protect network perimeters. During upgrades, we assess each component to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.
