The proper use of Information Technology starts with understanding
our clients, their business, as well as their customers, suppliers,
partners, and perhaps even competitors. Everything should be considered
from the perspective of business value. The value gained must be
significantly more than the investment inputted. to better understand
your business values we go through the following process:
1- Identifying Your Needs and
Goals:
Understanding your business goals and constraints is a critical
aspect of network design. Armed with a thorough analysis of your
business objectives, we can propose a network design that will meet
with your approval and satisfaction.
2- Analyzing the current situation:
In this phase, the network analyst
interviews users and technical personnel to gain an understanding
of the business and technical goals for a new or enhanced system.
The task of characterizing the existing network, including the logical
and physical topology and network performance, follows. The last
step in this phase is to analyze current and future network traffic,
including traffic flow and load, protocol behavior, and quality
of service (QoS) requirements.
3- Finding the best solution
that will meet your business needs:
The right solution has to be chosen
to meet the needs of the organization and its people. The solution
has to make business sense in such a way that it will improve business
efficiency and process.
4- Planning:
The planning phase emphasizes the importance
needs of the current network to be upgraded to meet your current
business needs as will as future needs. Scalability has to be factored
in to meet future business needs. Network requirements are identified
in this phase. This phase also includes an analysis of areas where
the network upgrades will be installed and an identification of
users who will require network services.
5- Testing the solution:
This phase includes writing and implementing
a test plan; building a prototype or pilot site to determine if
the solution meets your requirements before actually implementing
it.
6- Deploying and implementing:
After the design has been approved,
implementation begins. The network is built according to the design
specifications. Implementation also serves to verify the design.
7- Monitor and Optimize Performance:
Monitoring the network after implementation
will insure proper design and performance. After we monitor your
network we optimize it to its maximum potential. The optimization
is based on proactive network management which identifies and resolves
problems before network disruptions arise.
8- Documenting Your Network
Design:
