Network Design and Implementation

Local Area Networks
There is a perception that LAN design is very simple and straightforward, and that a single solution will fit almost any scenario. This is where most LAN-related problems originate. To build a well-balanced LAN, a number of factors must be taken into consideration. Some of them are: desired network size (# of machines), layout, amount of current traffic, future traffic expectations, security requirements. We evaluate all of these factors, among others, which helps us design a flexible solution within budget, and with sufficient room for expansion.





Remote Network Solutions
When a company has several offices, remote connectivity is essential. In most cases, communicating only via email is far from adequate. File sharing, Windows domain-based services, and direct access between workstations are often needed. To achieve this, we build virtual tunnels between your offices, as well as to our own network. Machines in separate locations can now communicate as if they were on the same physical network. And for those working at home or on the road, we provide easy VPN access to the office network.

Centralized Routing
We handle all routing at the core of our network. If you have several locations, we will interconnect them with redundant virtual links. In case one of those links becomes unavailable, our dynamic routing protocols automatically send traffic via the remaining ones. In the meantime, our network engineers are notified of the situation and start working on the problem immediately. Having multiple paths brings peace of mind to our customers and us.

Network Redundancy
For critical applications, a single-sided network may not be adequate. Designing redundant systems is one of our specialties. We can set up router and switch redundancy with failover, up to a full network mesh. In case any one device fails, connectivity is not affected. In addition, we are able to utilize multiple Internet links, if available. They can be used in an active-standby scenario, or an active-active one. Load-balancing solutions play an important role in networking, and we take full advantage of what today’s technology offers.
