Network Design: Network Infrastructure, Business Communication System, Local Area Network /   Wide Area Network, Wireless Network Installation, Technical Support

At Crossroads Business Solutions we believe that only after we understand a business's objectives and needs can we architect a proper network design. Businesses depend on their network infrastructure to run reliably. Designing their network properly is how we help.

Network architecture design and configuration should always follow sound fundamentals. A network should meet the specific business needs of an organization, and provide a reliable, secure, fast and efficient business communication system. 
 

Basic Network Design

Even for a basic network design, we first need to understand the business's information system's size and usage requirements before we can properly determine the dimensions and specifications of the proposed network. Until we have that understanding, any quote for cabling, wireless network hardware, switches, servers, routers or firewalls would be flawed and inaccurate.

Once the basic system requirements are determined, we design a custom computer network specific to that business's needs.  A complete network system is comprised of two basic components:

• LAN – A Local Area Network (LAN) delivers applications to local users, and provides the infrastructure for group collaboration, including file sharing and transfer, printing, etc. Our LAN designs take into account the needs for reliability, security, scalability and flexibility to ensure end user productivity.

   

• WAN – A Wide Area Network (WAN) commonly connects LANs in geographically dispersed locations together using a variety of technologies not normally used to form a LAN.

Network Design: The Full-Service Advantage

We can then supply the hardware; physically install the equipment; configure, and provide technical support for, the hardware and software integrated into our design; and update or upgrade the system, when needed.

This process provides us a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the whole infrastructure. This allows us to produce meaningful documentation for handover, and makes subsequent tech support much easier for both the client and us.
