On The Rise

For those of you that are just now hearing the name MyTekki, allow me to introduce our fledgling company; but first let me clarify that "fledgling" by no means implies inexperienced. The owner and main technician/consultant here at MyTekki has spent the majority of his personal and professional life studying, working hands-on with, and utilizing computers, making the most of the latest technology, programs, software, and applications as they arise, while teaching others to do the same. In recent years, he has pursued this endeavor to the extent of launching a company to offer access to this vast knowledge, in hopes of drafting a career from his passion; he has spent innumerable hours laying the groundwork and developing a workable and successful model for this business. From this, the main focus of MyTekki is to provide small businesses with a stable infrastructure and a reliable non-corporate one-on-one support/training experience. The full-service systems administration contains a wide variety of services including but not limited to, network Consulting, system admin consulting, custom programming, custom scripting, and customized training with the most widely used Microsoft Office programs such as Excel, Outlook, and Word, as well as other applications.

Until recently MyTekki has been small, but eventually seen the need to bring another member on board to assist with the day to day functions, and to be the front line face for the business; allowing him to concentrate on the technical portion of the company. Within the last month, I was brought on board with the purpose of assisting with the administrative portion of this company. With such a strong business structure, a solid knowledge foundation, and old fashioned values in place, I was able to bring my strong work ethic and years of admin work in to hit the ground running. Although I do not come by computers naturally, I've enjoyed working here immensely--I learn something new on a daily basis. I look forward to seeing MyTekki grow, with the current dynamics in place, I have no doubt this will happen rather quickly.

Since coming on board we've seen a sizable jump in our social media coverage and existing customer communications--tripling our Facebook followers in the first week, regularly recruiting more followers, and seeing our posts reach farther than they had at any point in the past. As far as this blog is concerned, we've revamped the page, garnered a handful of followers, as well as seeing our page views skyrocket. This progress has been hugely encouraging! Thank you to everyone who's participated thus far!

However, we've also raised the bar to incorporate new processes and procedures to drive us forward. Going forward we have set a company policy of retaining and maintaining current relationships with our customers and followers; doing so via active and clear communication embracing social media and extended personnel availability.

So...that's who we are, what we're doing, what we can offer, what's changed, and where we're heading in the future. Hope to see you there!

Cheers!

Drop Box Liability

Although "Drop Box" can be a helpful tool for some, with their hosted file services such as: optimal privacy with file sharing, multiple "Drop Box" options to keep personal and business files separate, storage durability, and encryption that maintains a secure tunnel for data transfers, etc.(https://www.dropbox.com/business/features); there is one key liability that may have you rethinking the usage of Drop Box file services. This popular file server actually consistently and constantly uses up your bandwidth within your company network, leading to slower network speed, and over all internet availability--thereby slowing down your entire company's usage of the internet, leading to potential loss in revenue due to greater amount of overhead hours waiting for sites to load.

For Example: your company's internet is 10Mbps down and 1.5Mbps up (standard cable connection). Let’s say you have a file of 10MB that you drop in your drop box folder, and you have 15 employees with drop box installed. As soon as the file is saved and closed, drop box immediately starts uploading that file. There is no QOS (quality of service) allocated for this bandwidth usage, so therefore you’re 1.5Mps is now completely being utilized by one user. Then all the other users are now simultaneously downloading the same file; therefore crippling the down speed of your bandwidth, and preventing you from browsing and utilizing the internet for productive purposes.

Alternatively, you can implement a file server which utilizes only local bandwidth, which is up to speeds of 1Gbps on average. This file server is not public, so therefore securing your confidential data, as it is not in the “Cloud”. Therefore, having a file server with local bandwidth can aid in the speed and efficiency for your business or project; killing two birds with one stone--optimal security, as well as technological agility.
