Design & Architecture

Proper design is vital to allow for a reliable, fast, flexible and scalable infrastructure, better return on investment for hardware and easier support and maintenance. At the same time, nobody can know it all and no matter how good an organisations IT department may be outside help and advice can be invaluable.

WHEN DO I NEED DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE HELP?

• Outstanding issues that you can’t get a handle on

• New administrators or manager inherited a mess that you’re struggling to get to grips with

• Network grown “organically” over time with no overriding design

•Major network changes dictated by new branches, corporate structure, offices, mergers,
consolidation or expansion.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?

This depends on the complexity of your infrastructure and the requirements, but we can typically achieve a lot in a day, even for complex and difficult requirements. The chances are we’ve done something very similar in the past so you can leverage our experience and save many man hours exploring solutions that may be unsuitable or technology dead-ends.

The typical engagement is one to two days, one day onsite with the customer and one day completing a formal design and proposal, if required. However, this can be as open and flexible as the customer would like. Often the day on site is informative enough to give customers a clear path forward.
