Network Assessment

How reliable is your network? Is your system performance slow? Are you paying too much for your service providers? Are you wasting money on maintaining more servers than you need? Read on to learn how we can support your LAN, WAN and VPN environment, identify problems and save you money.

Two simple ways to save money by enhancing your existing network

  • Save money by reducing downtime: Remarkably, most network problems take very little time to fix. The troubleshooting time to find the problem is a common cause of extended downtime. A well-architected and well-documented network is easier to maintain and can significantly decrease the amount of time users experience sluggish downloads or network outages. If you are building your network from the ground up, we will ensure that your infrastructure is solid, easy to maintain and allows for sustainable growth. If are looking for ways to enhance your existing network, we can maximize your existing resources to stay up and running.

  • Save money by reducing complexity: You may have more servers than you actually need. If so, then you are spending too much money on electric bills, cooling costs and routine maintenance. You may even be experiencing low network performance or high downtime due to the fact that your already taxed IT staff can't respond to the issues as they arise. We can assess your network and consolidate your servers to maximize your IT investment. We can recommend and implement new technologies that will reduce your total cost of ownership by delivering a streamlined system that is easier - and less expensive -- to maintain.

Three common causes of networking problems

  • Your original network design did not allow for the actual growth of your company: Are you experiencing sluggish network performance or high downtime as you add users and devices to your network? We can assess the state of your system and design a plan that will increase performance and decrease downtime. We place an emphasis on using your existing IT resources and implementing new technologies that will decrease your total cost of ownership.

  • The people maintaining your network are not the people who designed it: Your IT staff is required to keep users up and running, add new devices and troubleshoot problems. They are frequently overtaxed, putting in long hours and juggling dozens of issues on a daily basis. Most often, system architecture is not their expertise. Calling us in for an assessment will provide the knowledge you need to increase the reliability of your network.

  • Poorly maintained network documentation: Without up-to-date documentation on the geography of your network, a simple maintenance task can become a burden on the people maintaining the system. The longer it takes to troubleshoot a problem, the longer your users are interrupted from completing their jobs. We place an unrelenting emphasis on creating network maps and documenting configurations. This work upfront will save you time, money and frustration later.
