IT Network Design

Posted by: Darren Grant  :  Category: IT Services Info

At Linked IT our approach to IT Network Design is:

* We listen to what your IT Network requirements are for your business
* Prioritise your IT Network requirements for your business
* We assess your current IT Network and layout
* We make design decisions based on you requirements and priorities

With all IT networks we design the following are always considerations

* Securing all network entry points (internet and wireless)
* Securing servers/workstations from virus’ and malware
* Locking down workstations so users can not install unwanted software
* Protect your network/users from email bound virus’ and malware
* Backup stradegies
* Disaster recovery

Each business has different requirements or interpretations, so a one size fits all approach doesn’t work. With some business’s mobility means remote access to a line of business application is the number one priority, while for others mobility means being able to access email at home or on smart phones as the number one priority, or for other business’s its both.

Network Implementation

Posted by: Darren Grant  :  Category: IT Services Info

At Linked IT our approach to IT Network Implementation is to install and commission your new or expanded IT network with as little disruption as possible. The addition of new workstations or printers has minimal impact for everyone except the immediate person gaining from the upgrade.

If the situation is a new server that will impact on everyone,  planning and testing is part of the process. We always plan for the unlikely event where we need to rollback so part of every implementation we undertake has a ‘get out of jail card’.  This minimises the day to day operation of your business.
