NETCHECK network healthcheck & audit

The Challenge

Networks quickly grow in size and complexity. Often the growth is organic and changes have to be made quickly to accommodate new business needs. At some point concerns over scalability and health arise, and the time comes to review and perhaps re-engineer the network.

The challenge is to make sure that if you do need to spend time and money upgrading or re-engineering the network that this is correctly targeted. An independent view on the state of the network, with supporting evidence would make sure that a busy IT team doesn't waste time and money on fruitless projects.

The Service

Advance7 uses skilled people, industry-leading tools and bespoke tools to provide a turnkey service that will review:

• Design - are the technologies used & architecture suitable?
• Resilience - where are the single points of failure?
• Load - are any links overloaded?
• Errors - is there an excessive rate of recoverable errors?
• Supportability - are any components unsupported?
• Configuration - are the configs consistent & aligned with best practice?
• Action Plan - what actions should be taken to address the issues?

We deliver the results in an informed report that helps you optimise performance & stability and plan the way forward for your network. We conclude with a debrief workshop to deal with outstanding issues and answer any questions.
