From small form-factor edge switches for a small branch office or department; through to multi-layer switches for the enterprise data centre; we can design, implement and support your organisation's wired network infrastructure.

We work under the principle that a network that has been well designed is characterised by predictability and consistency in relation to each of the following areas:

Performance

A consistently high level of performance is observed in relation to the major network performance parameters. These parameters might include application response time and the variation in response time.

Resilience

The network should provide a resilient platform for the applications that it supports. A highly specified network might have to meet an availability target of 99% for all applications with a 'zero-downtime' requirement for mission critical applications.

Scalability

A scalable network is capable of adequately supporting growth without having to be radically re-designed. Growth in terms of the number of users, the number of network nodes or sites must be catered for along with the possible addition of new applications and the increased bandwidth consumption that they will entail.

Manageability

If a network is not designed properly at the outset or if that design is compromised then everyday tasks such as troubleshooting and adding new devices to the network become design projects in themselves.

This is because without a valid design that has been followed, basic network changes do not form part of any plan. Thus they must be treated as isolated projects. There is no predictability and the effect of any changes on the network must always be independently assessed if the design plan has been deviated from.
