THIS ISSUE
 

SERVICE CORNER
Symantec Endpoint

You may have heard some “grumblings” over the newest version of Symantec Endpoint Antivirus.  We were holding off on renewing until Symantec resolved some serious issues they were having with their latest version.  HBS performed extensive testing in our lab and compared it to several other products.  For a while it appeared we might be recommending an alternate or change to our current customers because of these problems.

Since then, Symantec has posted a version 2 maintenance release and we have completed our testing of this update.  We feel this latest release addressed all our concerns and feel confident in continuing to recommend and support this product to our valued customers.

If you would like more information on upgrading to Symantec’s new Endpoint, please contact our sales department at hbs@htspc.net.

The Doctor is in . . .
And ready to perform your Network Checkup!

Going to the doctor is the best way to find out the real state of your health. Having our HBS Medics perform a network checkup is the best way to find out the health of your network. There is no better time to discover the "state of your network" than right now through our Check-Up special for only $199.

Our Network Check-Up takes about two hours for most networks* and it takes place at your business. One of our certified technicians will perform a 28-point performance check on:

  • network connectivity
  • network security
  • virus protection
  • computer resources
  • overall network health.

Upon completion, you receive a complete written report that includes a performance summary, an antivirus summary and an overall network summary delivered to you by your HBS Account Manager. They will review your report with you to discuss your networks assessment and make recommendations for improvements. They will also discuss how our EncompassIT Service Plan can keep your network operating at peak performance, minimize downtime and eliminate security risk.

This offer is for a limited time and check-ups are being scheduled now. Call us today and mention our Network Check-Up offer.

The Check-Up* is only $199 for up to 2 hours of time, and this offer guarantees an additional hour of consulting.

*Check-Up will include up to two servers and a sampling of 3 PCs. If you would like a more expanded Check-Up on multiple servers and/or PCs please call for a custom quote.

NOTE. Check-ups do not solve problems. The check-up is intended to identify problems before they become serious failures. Don't be surprised when you can least afford it.
