An operating system (OS) manages the hardware and applications on any given computer system in your business. Regardless of whether the computer is a server or a desktop computer, it must have an operating system to make it work.

In addition, the OS will control how the computer communicates with other IT devices in your corporate IT environment and how it interfaces with the internet.

While your IT environment will have multiple servers that do different jobs, all of the servers will have operating systems that, in addition to their core functions, will focus on the following:
- Security- Because protection of data is important, regardless of whether it is in the form of an email, document, or spreadsheet, the best operating systems will include basic security features that guard all data from unauthorized access. NETCORE can guide your company in choosing an OS that meets your specific security needs. (Of course, because you have other security programs installed on you network, OS security should be considered a bonus feature.)
- Application delivery- Regardless of a server's specific tasks (distribute email, provide networking services, create critical data backups, etc.), it will need a way to distribute applications to desktop computers and other servers. NETCORE can help you identify your application delivery needs and help you choose the best OS to meet those needs.
Typical desktop operating systems include the following features:
- Multimedia support- IT companies like NETCORE understand how important it is that your business' desktop computers are able to support applications that are graphic rich and sound intensive. The best desktop operating systems will manage a desktop computer's resources to ensure that multimedia programs will work as intended.
- Peripheral device support- Because most desktop computers will have peripheral devices such as cameras, USB drives, speakers, etc., the best desktop operating systems will easily manage these devices with minimal input to users once permissions and preferences are set. NETCORE understands that different companies need their desktop computers to work with different external devices and can recommend the best desktop operating systems for your company's unique needs.
- Application management- IT consulting companies realize that desktop users will often use more than one application open at a time. NETCORE has the knowledge to identify your company's specific application usage patterns and can suggest the best operating systems for your business' desktop computers.
Upgrading operating systems for business success
Because IT is always advancing, more sophisticated operating systems are needed so that your business can use the newest hardware and run latest versions of applications. Upgrading your operating systems on servers and desktops will let your business do the following:
- Protect your IT environment from the external threats such as viruses, phishing, and network scanning.
- Patch your IT environment against newly discovered vulnerabilities.
- Access and use the newest hardware which requires faster processing power that can only be supported with newer operating systems.
- Gain the newest features which can improve productivity and enhance the overall user experience.
