LAN Management

ARE YOUR LANS INSTALLED AND FORGOTTEN?
Local Area Networks have been around since the beginning of Ethernet. Unless they have been designed and installed by experts, chances are your LANs are not performing as they should.

We have been designing, installing and managing networks for more than 20 years. We know how to get the best out of your LAN technology.

In todays always-connected world, ensuring you have appropriate infrastructure to support your business activities is more critical than ever. An area often not given enough attention is Local Area Network switching which supports the physical connection of devices – servers, PCs, laptops, printers, wifi access points, et al.

When a LAN is not correctly designed, configured and managed, your organisation can suffer in numerous ways:

  • Security breaches with potential for financial loss and brand damage.

  • Inferior performance resulting in reduced efficiency and frustration.

  • Lack of visibility impacting operations and impeding compliance.

  • Unexpected behavior which can complicate and delay rollout of new products and services.

Design and Configuration

  • Our LAN design approach takes into consideration:

• Uses, applications and traffic types
• IP addressing
• Segmentation (subnets) and VLANs
• Physical and logical security (physical access to switches and switch port security)
• Vendor technology attributes

  • Then skilled configuration requires:

• A deep knowledge of vendor LAN technologies and features
• And being able to interpret design specifics into a high performing LAN environment

Management

  • We manage LANs for our customers using advanced tools and people who know what they are doing.

• Our tools monitor customer LANs 24/7 and automatically alert exceptions and incidents
• We regularly report port and trunk bandwidth usage, and generate alerts based on thresholds and preset events
• We publish tailored dashboards so that customers can see what is happening on their LANs in real time
• Our engineers have the knowledge and experience to quickly identify and rectify LAN issues
