We pay particular attention to network design and security. While every business has different needs we appreciate your need to have a scalable and robust architecture which serves today's requirements and will grow as your business grows. Some of the considerations you must bear in mind when building or revamping your network include:
- Will you be running VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) on the same wire as your computer?
- Are you a publically traded company with SOX compliance requirements?
- Even if you are not subject to Federal SOX reporting standards, do you use online payment services which require certain compliance? If you accept "Visa" for instance, do you secure the transaction from prying eyes?
- Do you maintain sensitive data on your network which, if comprimised, would negatively impact your business?
- Is your business "departmentalized" and require that different departments be isolated from each other? Should accounting share the same network as sales?
- Do you operate servers in your business with both public facing and internal access?
- How many employees work away from the office? What kind of security do you need to allow them to access your network and also keep intruders out?
- What is the impact of a network failure to your business? What are the failover and redundancy requirements for your network? Should network monitoring be included in your plan?
- Are you contemplating any type of "wireless" component for your network? What are the benefits vs the risks of doing this?
- What size and type of UPS should be chosen to support my network and servers?
