Design and Installation
Network design is a specialty of ours. We will keep it simple, yet secure. We often hear customer feedback that their previous vendor had complicated their network design, making it difficult for them to have the ability to perform simple maintenance on their own computers and servers.
Direct Connect Network Design – 3 step process
1. Assessment Meeting
Part 1 -Function: At this meeting with the client we aim to understand their business, processes, and tasks. The ultimate goal is to not only incorporate all business processes on the network, but also to offer some ways to improve productivity and automate tasks.
Part 2- Size & Connections: Next discuss number of users, their use of the network, current data size, external connections required, current bandwidth and future growth plans to determine the size of network needed.
2. Plan and Design
We take what we learned from discussions with the customer in Step 1 to design a simple yet effective network with industry-trusted components. The plan and design include:
- Network type
- The physical network cabling, faceplates, and other issues of basic infrastructure.
- Network communications equipment
- Network operating system
- Network server hardware
- Data backup hardware and software
- Client workstations
3. Review with Customer
We promise not to overload you with technical speak! We pride ourselves on explaining your plan in a simple and quick presentation. We will review the proposed network diagram and plan for your business, including budget, time line and expected productivity gains.
