Next Generation Networks

You might think anyone these days can design a network, but the network is the essential "plumbing" that underpins all business operations and should be designed by experts.

Ready for virtualisation?

As clients virtualise their data centres there is a knock on effect to the network. Clients need a network design that is application aware and for virtualised environments this translates to networks with high port density (top-of-rack switch design) & trunking for efficient NIC teaming as shown in the example below.

Imagine if you could put your network in “standby”

This is now a reality with vendors like Cisco and their Energywise program. Network switches can automate turning off the power to IP Phones and other powered devices at say 7pm and turn them on again at 7am, halving energy consumption.

All Networking vendors are improving the efficiency of their products whilst improving port density and performance. We can demonstrate the benefits of the current crop of vendors and show how to reduce space, power and cost.
