We had a consultation with a computer communications, networking, ICT solutions, etc company (something like that!) this week to help us determine what it is we need to set up in our offices.
They were great, really helpful, but I felt like I needed a Computer Systems For Dummies manual to fully keep up with what we were all talking about. It was all 'content delivery', 'cdn', 'caches', 'managed hosting' and other such terms that made sense but drew a blank with me.
It's amazing just how much goes into setting up a computer network in an office, so much so that most offices employ an IT department, or at least one or two IT technicians. It's much more complex than just setting up a few computers in a room, and it's definitely a much bigger job that I'd imagined.
