Non Stop Networking

When did you last receive a business card without an e-mail address and company website? Probably a few years ago which shows that companies have changed forever and are more reliant on network communications today that ever before.

Most companies have deployed applications across their networks to compete more effectively and help streamline their operations. In addition, many employees are no longer office based and require mobile and remote access to the network. As such any network failure can have a catastrophic impact on the business and employee productivity.

Organisations demand guaranteed continuous network security and availability to be able to conduct their business effectively and with confidence.

Do you want to be a resilient business?

What part of your network do you need to address to achieve non-stop networking?

• Network Infrastructure

  The technologies needed to support the non-stop flow of information and reliable network access play a crucial role in your business.

  Businesses are embracing the next generation of applications and services to increase revenue, productivity and general market competitiveness. Having a solid and reliable foundation to your communications network to support these initiatives enables improved access to people and information and a stepping-stone for growth in your business.

  The technologies needed to support the non-stop flow of information and reliable network access play a crucial role in the business in terms of what is accessed, how, by whom and the speeds involved in transfer of information.

  Two of the main technologies are Ethernet Switching and Routing.

• Perimeter Security

  A defence in depth strategy proactively prevents your business from network compromise.

  The business world never stands stills and it appears neither does the spectre of Internet and Network based attacks. Organisations are increasingly concerned about the growing number and complexity of threats which seek to impact their business continuity such as Denial of Service (DoS), unauthorised access from within the business, application layer attacks, viruses and malware.

  Businesses are searching for protection of their networks, applications, end points and users but understand that a single line of defence is no longer sufficient for the protection of their critical business assets.

  A defence in depth strategy proactively prevents network compromise through a combination of new technologies such as Firewalls and UTM & Intrusion Prevention.

• Core Network Services

  Unifying the approach to core network services offers huge benefits in operational efficiencies, security and auditing.

  Core network services such as DNS, DHCP and RADIUS are a critical component of nearly every transaction over the network and are essentially the glue that binds together networks, users, devices, applications and policies.

  Such is their importance that any failure has the ability to immediately bring down the network and its applications, costing businesses time and money in lost productivity and revenue.

  Unifying the approach to core network services particularly in the light of the complexity of new IP applications such as IP Telephony offers huge benefits to companies in operational efficiencies, security and auditing.

  Do you need to simplify your approach to core network services?

• Network Management and Analysis

  Integrated network management approach for auditing, analysing and automating the management of networks.

  With the communications infrastructure continuing to grow and with new applications being deployed to support strategic business initiatives, it becomes ever more difficult to manage.

  Faced with the challenges of maintaining business continuity, compliance, cost reductions, simplicity and availability, enterprises use a variety of tools to manage the different changes and configurations to their network. Yet the multitude of platforms used only serves to complicate the issue further when a consolidated approach would save time, capital and operational expenditure.
