To choose a desktop for the office and equipment, namely a computer or laptop, you should decide who will use it, and also think about its size, material, design and additional equipment. This thing must be of high quality and comfortable, so that the person who will work behind it can fully concentrate on work and effectively complete their daily tasks. A separate issue is to provide access to data in the workplace using modern inventions. For example, in Germany, every worker has card access to the keyboard of the PC they use. In Japan, for example, a fingerprint is used for access, but the most common method is a personal password on a PC. There are also other means, but we won’t describe them all.
We must not forget about the security of data on the company’s servers themselves, their protection, storage, and the ability to recover quickly and conveniently. SIDATA.COM.UA provides a full range of services to ensure a high level of data protection for its clients in the field of security and data storage on servers and the cloud.
Types of office desks
Tables may vary in purpose. In particular, you can choose and purchase models:
- for managers;
- for staff;
- for meeting rooms and conference rooms;
- for receptionists.
Executive desks should emphasize the status of their owner. Models for staff are equipped with bedside tables and shelves for storing documents, stands for a monitor and keyboard. Conference tables are comfortable and functional, rectangular or oval in shape. Models for the reception area, as a rule, emphasize the status of the organization and are often highly durable. Access to the IT infrastructure is separately configured and graded for individual groups of server users.
Table dimensions
A comfortable desktop should meet the following parameters:
- any of the items on the table can be taken without much difficulty;
- the monitor can be installed at a distance that is safe for vision;
- sitting at the table, the employee can comfortably work at the computer and with papers;
- There is enough legroom under the table.
The optimal width of the tabletop is 50 cm, and the length is 120 cm. In some cases, the tabletop may be larger.
Material
Most often office furniture. In particular, tables made from:
- Chipboard and MDF;
- wood;
- glass;
- plastic (acrylic);
- combined materials.
Chipboard and MDF can withstand operating loads well in the office; desks made from them are practical, comfortable and affordable. In addition, they are stylish and modern. Solid wood models are often installed in the manager’s office or reception area. They look solid and are durable. Tables made of tempered glass or triplex harmoniously combine with minimalist offices and are well suited for negotiations. They are not afraid of damage and fit harmoniously into modern office interiors. Acrylic furniture fits perfectly into the high-tech style. They are resistant to wear, although over time their surface may wear out.
Design and equipment
The most common shapes for office desks are rectangular and L-shaped. However, in modern offices you can see round, oval and triangular models and tables of irregular shapes. Large rectangular tables are most often found in private offices. An L-shaped table will be convenient when you need to create a spacious workplace, but at the same time save room space.
When choosing a desktop model, you should pay attention to such additional features as:
- ergonomic place for the display, system unit keyboard, router, printer and other equipment;
- storage systems that can be organized in the form of cabinets, shelves and cabinets above the table;
- organization of cables and wires.
It is very convenient when the table has telescopic legs to adjust its height to your height. Another convenient option is a tabletop with an adjustable angle.
The color and material of the tables depend on the style and color scheme of the workroom. You can purchase a dark-colored desk for the manager’s office, while light-colored furniture is more suitable for ordinary workers. It is also important to choose quality fittings. In particular, handles, hinges, wheels of cabinets and tables, drawer guides. Reliable fastening of all these elements guarantees convenience and comfort in using the workplace.
You can order ready-made furniture from a catalog or purchase an original model made according to your sketch. Today, everyone can get exactly the desk that best suits their requirements and create a comfortable workplace for themselves.
It is possible to set up controlled access from mobile devices, such as smartphones, so that you can block the user immediately if there is a suspicion of a danger to the company, etc.
