Network Connectivity

Network Design & Implementation

At the heart of any good I.T. solution is good network infrastructure. By this we mean Cabling (CAT5/CAT5e & CAT6), Hubs, Switches, Routers, WAN links etc. At NETprotocol we have long-term experience in designing such infrastructure, to not only meet existing requirements, but also future requirements, by designing flexible modular solutions.

Enterasys Systems

Enterasys Switching and Routing solutions are designed to deliver exceptional levels of automation, visibility and control from the data center core to the network edge. Enterasys switches provide IT organizations with role-based access controls, a cost-effective and powerful alternative to configuring cumbersome Access Control Lists (ACLs). Enterasys also leverages multiple standards-based discovery methods along with unique policy capabilities to provide automated identification and provisioning of VoIP services and clients and intelligent traffic management for IP phones from all major vendors. Click here for more information.

Cisco Solutions

We also have a wealth of knowledge surrounding Cisco networking equipment, although we are aware that this can be prohibitively expensive in some cases and so alternatives are available.

Cisco is the world’s premier manufacturer of networking equipment and manufactures a broad range of products to suit every size of organisation and every need. NETprotocol utilises this technology to design and build high speed, highly efficient networks with built in resilience to failure. 

What are the alternatives?

Although Cisco technology provides the best network infrastructure we are aware that in some cases it can be prohibitively expensive. This is why NETprotocol provides Allied Telesyn networking equipment as an alternative. Although Allied Telesyn does not provide the same level of cutting edge technology, it does provide highly cost effective robust LAN & WAN solutions to the more budget conscious clients. The same Gigabit type infrastructure can be designed using the Allied Telesyn equipment

To further back up our network design and implementation, NETprotocol can also implement Packeteer’s PacketShaper units, which allow total management of WAN & Internet links giving greater control and reducing the total cost of ownership year on year.

A Case Study Reference of high performance LAN & WAN infrastructure will be available shortly.
