Software Updates / Upgrades

Ben Minton — Thu, 04 Aug 2016 20:06:18 +0000

Today’s corporations have to frequently check the Windows Update site or the Microsoft Security Web site for patches. Then they have to manually download patches that have been made available since they last visited the site, test the patches, and then distribute the patches manually or by using their traditional software-distribution tools. Instead of each workstation having to connect to the Internet to update Windows, each workstation connects to the Microsoft SUS Server instead, and updates from there.

Software Update Services leverage the successful Windows Automatic Updates service first available in Windows XP, and allows our professionals to configure a server that contains content from the live Windows Update site in their own Windows-based networks. Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) enables SINC’s administrators to deploy the latest Microsoft product updates to computers that are running the Windows operating system. By using WSUS, our administrators can fully manage the distribution of updates that are released through Microsoft Update to computers in their network.

RAM: Your computer uses RAM, random access memory, to perform functions and operations. More RAM allows your computer to perform more tasks simultaneously and run faster. You can boost performance by installing additional RAM or replacing the existing computer hardware with larger memory sticks. RAM is easy to replace on a desktop, but you may have to check your user’s manual for instructions to add or remove RAM on a laptop.
Hard drive: Hard drives on most laptops and desktop computers are modular and can be easily swapped for a faster model with a larger memory capacity. With a larger hard drive, you can store more programs, music and photos. You can even install more than one hard drive in a desktop computer to expand storage or back up files.
Optical disc drive: Upgrading to a new DVD burner or a Blu-ray disc drive will give your computer new capabilities. An optical drive is easy to install, and you may even be able to install multiple drives on the same desktop, with one drive as the master drive and a second as a “slave” drive.
Processor: Your processor has a large impact on the speed and performance of your laptop or desktop computer. It’s also a very simple component to change. Before you choose a new processor, however, check the processor socket type on your computer’s motherboard. Your new processor needs to match that socket type to be compatible.
Video card: Graphics processing units, or video cards, are for computers that handle heavy image processing in video games and 3-D rendering software. A new video card can boost the graphics processing ability, allowing you to play the latest games or use your computer as a high-definition entertainment center with your HDTV.

For new purchases or new Dell workstations, network devices, printers or any external device please contact us.
