Managed
Services
Imagine you have a car, but you don't want to worry about taking care of it yourself. So, you hire a mechanic or a car service to look after your car for you.
They make sure it gets regular oil changes, fixes any issues, and keeps it running smoothly. You pay them a fee, and in return, you don't have to stress about all the car maintenance tasks.
Managed services in the world of technology are kind of like that. Instead of dealing with all the technical stuff like setting up and maintaining computer systems, networks, or software yourself, you can hire a managed service provider (MSP). They take care of it for you. They monitor your systems, make sure they're secure, and fix any problems that arise. You pay them a fee, and you can focus on your business without having to become a tech expert.
It's like having a tech-savvy friend who looks after your technology so you can use it without the headaches of maintenance and troubleshooting.
Backup
Anywhere there is data, there are threats to that data. Data is a valuable component of running a business, and it is open to a number of threats that can lead to data leaks and data loss.
Backup and Disaster Recovery
Imagine your business is like a collection of important documents and files in a filing cabinet. Making a backup is like taking a photocopy of all these documents and storing them in a safe place. So, if something happens to the original documents (like they get lost, damaged, or stolen), you can go to the safe place and get copies to replace the lost ones.
In the digital world, a backup is a copy of all your important digital files (like documents, databases, and software) stored securely in another location, usually on a different computer or in the cloud. This ensures that if your original data is lost due to a mistake, hardware failure, or even a cyber-attack, you can retrieve a copy from the backup and keep your business running smoothly.
Disaster Recovery
Think of disaster recovery as having a plan in case something really bad happens, like a fire in your office that destroys the filing cabinet and all the documents. Disaster recovery is like having a set of instructions to quickly rebuild or replace all the lost documents and get your business back on track.
In the digital world, disaster recovery involves having a well-organized plan and the necessary tools to restore your entire system and operations after a major incident. It includes not only getting back your data from backups but also ensuring that all your systems, applications, and processes are up and running, so your business can continue functioning as close to normal as possible after a disaster.
So, in simple terms, backup is like making copies of important stuff, and disaster recovery is having a plan to put everything back together if something really bad happens. Both are crucial for protecting your business and keeping it going, no matter what challenges come your way.
Network Design & Management
Network design is like planning the best routes and intersections to ensure smooth traffic flow.
Network Design
Imagine a network like a road system for information in your business. Just like roads connect different places, a network connects various devices (like computers, printers, and servers) in your business. Network design is like planning the best routes and intersections to ensure smooth traffic flow.
In simpler terms, network design is about figuring out how to connect all your devices so they can communicate effectively, efficiently, and securely. It involves deciding how the devices will talk to each other, where the 'roads' (cables or wireless connections) will be, and how to keep everything organized.
Network Management
Once you have your 'road system' set up, you need someone to manage the traffic, ensure safety, and fix any problems. This is what network management is about. It's like having a traffic control center that monitors the roads, directs traffic, and quickly handles any accidents or roadblocks.
In the business world, network management involves overseeing the network, making sure it's running smoothly, keeping an eye on its performance, adjusting as needed, and promptly addressing any issues to keep the 'information traffic' flowing smoothly.
In summary, network design is like planning and building the roads, and network management is like operating a traffic control center to ensure everything runs smoothly on those roads.
At TE Computers we have 30+ years of experience designing and maintaining networks. We use only enterprise grade hardware and monitoring equipment to ensure your network operates at peak efficiency without the enterprise price tag.
Cyber Security
Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting networks, systems, hardware and data from digital attacks.
Why is cybersecurity important?
Let's think of a business like a store in a neighborhood. Cybersecurity for businesses is like having strong locks on the store doors, security cameras, and an alarm system to protect everything inside.
In the digital world, businesses store a lot of important and sensitive information, like customer data, financial records, and trade secrets. Hackers are like thieves who try to break into the store (the business's computer systems) to steal this valuable information.
If a business doesn't have good cybersecurity measures in place, these cyber-thieves can break in and steal important data. This can be really bad for the business and its customers. It can cost a lot of money, damage the business's reputation, and even lead to legal troubles.
So, just like a store needs good locks and security to protect its valuable goods, a business needs strong cybersecurity to keep its digital information safe and secure from cyber-thieves. It's about protecting the business, its customers, and its reputation.

Unified Communications
Unified Communications (UC) is like having a super-powered tool that lets you talk, chat, share stuff, and work together with your team using just one app or system.
It's like having a Swiss Army knife for communication at work!
Imagine you have a bunch of tools, like a phone, email, messaging apps, video calls, and more. Unified Communications combines all of these tools into one easy-to-use package. Instead of juggling lots of tools, you can do everything from a single place.
Why is it important for businesses? Well, it's like having a superhero team. UC helps your team communicate and collaborate better. It saves time, makes things simpler, and helps everyone work together smoothly. It's like having everyone on the same page in a really organized and efficient way! And in business, being efficient and organized means you can get more done, faster and with fewer headaches.

Dark Web Monitoring
The internet is like an iceberg. The part you normally see and use, like websites and social media, is the tip above the water. But beneath the surface, there's a hidden part called the "dark web." It's not easily accessible or visible using regular web browsers.
Why is Dark Web monitoring important?
Protecting Secrets
Businesses have secret information, like passwords, financial data, or plans for new products. If these end up on the dark web, it's like someone finding your secret diary and sharing it with the world.
Spotting Threats
Bad people sometimes hang out in the dark web, planning to harm businesses. They might want to hack into company systems, steal data, or even spread false information. Monitoring helps catch them in the act.
Early
Warnings
If a business's info is found on the dark web, it's a red flag. Monitoring allows businesses to catch potential problems early, like a leaky pipe before it floods the house. Early action can prevent big damage.
Legal Compliance
Many industries have rules about protecting sensitive info. Monitoring the dark web helps a business stay on the right side of the law and avoid hefty fines.
Reputation Management
If false or damaging info about a business is found on the dark web, it can ruin its reputation. By monitoring and acting fast, a business can control the damage and maintain trust with its customers.
In simpler terms, keeping an eye on the hidden part of the internet is like having a secret agent who looks for trouble and helps keep your secrets safe. It's like having a security guard for your invisible castle!
TE Computers uses the latest technology and methods to monitor the dark web for signs of compromised data from your company.
