Business IT Network Analysis
Most small business environments have an ad hoc network design – the business IT network just grew from its humble beginnings into the mess it is today. The network was never truly DESIGNED, it just grew as your budget and networks needs evolved. Even if the network was designed correctly, sometimes it's a growth issue – you have a company that had a great network design, but you've grown such that the old design isn't working anymore and needs to be upgraded.
Sometimes the issue is speed and lack of reliability – in these cases it's important to determine where bottlenecks exist. Certain applications that are bandwidth hogs need to be adjusted for as part of the design. Sometimes you have poor network performance because you trusted your network configuration to an unqualified IT company that did not advise correctly and/or did not implement properly. The result is a network infrastructure that is not to best practice standards and often consists of hardware pieced together without using “Best of Breed" technology. By identifying the problems in the existing network we can alleviate the pain and re-design the network into a much more effective, efficient tool for moving your business forward. The advantages and opportunities this presents to your business is endless, it’s our job to bring solutions that help your organization move faster and more efficiently and a complete Network Analysis as part of our business IT support services is a great way to start.
