The Internet is now an everyday tool for millions of people, having developed from a basic solution for data transfer into a phenomenon that offers a myriad of services to connected homes, schools and businesses. Email is now taken for granted, with its ability to send messages and files anywhere in the world almost instantaneously, while the World Wide Web is not only the planet’s biggest information resource, but also a catalyst for cultural change through developments like on-line shopping and video on demand.
Setting up Internet access still presents challenges, though, amid an ever-growing range of connection options from dial-up modems and leased lines to emerging broadband technologies like ADSL. But with years of experience in configuring Internet services, Atomwide can advise on all of these issues and more.

To many people, the Web is the Internet, and the vast array of information that it offers is certainly a compelling reason for obtaining access. The Web’s pages of information are made available by servers located all around the world, which fulfil the requests issued by users’ browsers. Since physical space is usually limited in these server locations, Atomwide often uses highly-compact HP ProLiant DL systems to provide Web services.
Atomwide can also boost Web performance within networks by installing a proxy server or other caching device, which holds copies of requested Web pages so they can be delivered immediately if another user browses to the same location.
