Small and Enterprise Area Network Support
Most of our client relationships begin with a thorough evaluation of their IT systems. The purpose of this technology evaluation is to establish a comprehensive mutual understanding of the IT infrastructure, the reasoned steps needed to improve it and the documentation to efficiently provide on-going support. Clients receive a detailed report on each aspect of their system, the exposures they represent to their business and budgetary recommendations for specific improvements. Certified engineers inspect and document the infrastructure including:
- Servers
- Networks
- Security
- Cabling
- Physical Environment
- Workstations
- Services and Monitoring
- Backup and Redundancy
- Applications
We evaluate each network component by degree of exposure categorised as CRITICAL, RELIABILITY RELATED or PERFORMANCE RELATED exposures.
- Critical exposures are issues that can cause the network to stop functioning, lose data, or prevent data recovery or system reconstruction in the event of a failure.
- Reliability issues are those that cause the network to become unstable or provide inconsistent performance, but without resulting in critical loss of data, or functionality or serviceability.
- Perfomance issues are those that can affect system responsiveness or throughput, but without a significant loss of data or functionality.
- An overview of the technology infrastructure
- Summarised and detailed lists of business exposures
- Recommendations broken down by both degree of exposure and by technical function
- Network diagrams
- A list of projects recommended to address weaknesses and their associated costs
- Product specifications and equipment sourcing recommendations
- Definitions of technical terms
- Raw data used to compile the report
We also support all of the equipment in our online shop http://www.information-providers.ie/shop/index.html
