Network Design

Build and Installation

Network Design is key to ensuring that your network infrastructure and systems delivers tangible business benefits. Vital to this is examining the requirements of both the 'back office' and the 'front office'

Once the design stage has been completed we move to the build and installation phase.

 'Back' Office Considerations

• Ease and speed of access to servers.
• Speedy access to data storage repositories
• Plan for businesses changing needs overtime
• Ensure adequate security and scalability is built into the design to allow for growth.
• Future proofing your network for CCTV and IP based Telephony saves considerable amount of money and headaches in the future as your business evolves.

'Front' Office Considerations

• Desk Layout
• Shared printing access
• The option of hotdesking
• Levels of access permissions to business confidential data for employees and visitors

• Ensure each network installation has the correct amount of switching/hub to optimise data access.
• Smaller networks level 1 layer of switching is adequate for larger organisation we deploy level 2 and 3 for enhanced data access.
• Our philosophy around cabling is clean fast deployment with minimum disruption

Networking

• Configuring and connecting devices to access servers and data storage devices
• Front office we use latest innovative access points for employee to share printers media devices optimising productivity

Post Installation Testing

• Tested for optimised accessibility to critical business data
• Configure hardware security device such as firewall servers, network attached storage printers and other media devices such as scanners

Wireless

Security Configuration

Wireless planning is vital to the success of any network installation. Key considerations include.

Security settings and usability to protect your business from vulnerabilities

• Ensuring access points are placed in the right location to optimise networks speeds
• Employee access permission from the wireless network to company data
• Visitors access permission from the wireless network to company data
• Secure remote access and multi-site solutions
• Effective response to remote access demands of employees partners and suppliers
• A holistic approach to internal networks and how they work with your external network connection (extranet) should be part of the initial planning and design.

• Allow secure connection for remote user
• For multi-site businesses ensure secure integration between sites
