Your network infrastructure is the backbone of your technology stack. Your software and solutions cannot work to their full potential without the right infrastructure in place.
Technology is evolving at a rapid pace, and your business must stay up to date to remain competitive. But that means your infrastructure must also keep up to make sure the rest of your tech can run smoothly.
Future-proofing is essential, and proactivity is the way forward. You don’t want to react to infrastructure problems – a reactive approach means your business has already begun to suffer. Proactivity makes outages much less likely, and it’s more scalable and cost-effective. You don’t want to take the risk of reacting to outdated software, which opens your business up to security vulnerabilities, reduced efficiencies, and a knock to your reputation and competitive edge.
Structured cabling systems
High-quality cabling, in the form of Cat6/Cat6a or fibre optics, are essential for speedy data transfer. Fibre optics support video conferencing, data analytics, and other bandwidth-intensive applications.
Modern structured cabling ensures scalability, reduced maintenance, and those all-important improvements to data flow. Importantly, up to date structured cabling means less downtime and easier upgrades, minimising costs in the long run. It also means that adopting modern technologies like IoT and 5G is more straightforward.
Upgraded cabinets and racks
Modern, well-organised, data cabinets ensure maximum space and airflow. This keeps the risk of overheating to a minimum and makes maintenance and changes much easier. Environmental monitoring – temperature and humidity sensors – are an extra precaution and ensure optimal conditions. Modern cabinets and proper cable management also mean that troubleshooting is easier and operational disruptions are reduced.
Rack-mounted PDUs and UPS systems are hugely beneficial for more reliable power. IT administrators have control over power distribution across connected devices and there’s built-in surge protection, remote monitoring, and load balancing that all work together to ensure a minimal risk of power-related downtime.
Advanced Wi-Fi solutions
WiFi 7 or WiFi 6E significantly improve speed, capacity, and device handling. For maximum coverage, wireless access points can be strategically placed for seamless connectivity. You can optimise WiFi performance with a site survey, when our engineers will find the best placement for optimum performance. Faster WiFi means a more productive team, yielding a certain return on investment.
Network switches and routers
Network switches and routers are core components of your network, and they ensure communication between devices is up to scratch.
Smart, managed switches are a great investment for improving control and monitoring, as they allow IT administrators to secure the network. You can easily adapt growing network demands with stackable switch configurations, supporting more devices without compromising speed or reliability.
Next-gen routers support high bandwidth, ideal for cloud-based applications, video streaming, and large file transfers. They also contain additional security features for more secure remote work like built-in firewalls and VPN capabilities. Dual-WAN routers ensure an uninterrupted connection to the internet, plus optimised traffic routing for brand offices.
Your network connectivity is essential for smooth business operations and scalable technology, which in turn lead to a more productive team and significant cost savings.
