When Preventing Stress Saves Cash: New Fast-teks Owner Emphasizes the Importance of PC Security, Data Backups, and Regular Maintenance

HUNTINGTON STATION, N.Y., July 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- With looking for information online now a far more common task than looking it up in a reference book, and the use of a wide variety of programs, platforms, and devices a day-to-day affair for many, the general US population is increasingly comfortable when working with computers. This increased expertise, though, does not mean that we all know what to do when a computer breaks down, how to protect our data from threats, or who to call first when we have a personal or business-related computer problem in need of an immediate solution.  

For these issues, however, Ira Axelrod has an easy answer to offer, in the form of the as-needed IT services provided by his new Fast-teks On-Site Computer Services branch, opening in Huntington Station, New York, and also serving Dix Hills, Deer Park, North Babylon, and surrounding areas. There he will manage a fleet of highly trained technicians who can provide fast, on-location, expert IT services.

A native New Yorker, Mr. Axelrod holds a degree in Computer Science and has spent his career in the area's IT field. When deciding to branch out on his own, however, he says that Fast-teks quickly became the obvious choice. "I evaluated many computer franchises," he states. "But Fast-teks has many national partners, major names in the computer industry - and I loved their organizational structure and commitment to excellence. Opening a Fast-teks branch felt like a natural fit."  

A respected nationwide company, Fast-teks works with both business and residential clients to provide a wide variety of on-site solutions, says Mr. Axelrod, and can even serve as a cost-saving on-call IT department for small- to medium-sized businesses who may not have the resources to maintain a permanent IT staff.  The company's business customers frequently enjoy services such as server support, data recovery, web design, remote data backup, and much more.  

Residential customers, meanwhile, often benefit by having Fast-teks provide solutions that they may not have the expertise or spare energy to implement themselves. Individuals frequently use Fast-teks to troubleshoot computer problems, for antivirus and security solutions, and to set up home wireless networks - often also saving money through the time- and productivity-saving tactic of hiring immediate expert service at an affordable rate. Both businesses and individuals often benefit from Fast-teks software training, among other services.

Fast-teks can not only address current problems but prevent future ones, Mr. Axelrod stresses. "Security and backup are services that will be huge for my clients - both home and business computer users have major concerns in these areas. While no one can guarantee a 100% secure PC, Fast-teks' tools can vastly improve PC or Mac security, making it safer to surf or do business on the web. And, while most Americans don't think often enough about data backups, imagine how costly or impossible it might be to replace personal photos, documents, music, and video files if a hard drive were to fail. This loss can be devastating, and yet data back-up solutions are relatively low-cost. Your PC's security and the integrity of your data are both important to us, and we can help you protect them."

As a lifelong Long Islander, Mr. Axelrod is excited about bringing such high-quality service to his own neighborhood. "I have spent my career working for companies in New York City and Long Island," he comments. "Serving a need for the local community is important."
