how to design a scalable, secure network to address the needs of business lines and IT ?
The explosion of digital (Social, Mobility, Analytics, Cloud, Security) and IoT is severely testing company’s networks. Designing a secure, scalable, lasting network requires the services of technical experts who understand the needs of both an organisation’s business lines and its IT department.
A 5 STEP METHODOLOGY1. Auditing the existing architecture
Before the design phase of the network architecture, our consultants conduct an audit of the existing architecture, including drawing up a map and analysing the infrastructure.
2. Assessing needs
A sound understanding of business lines and IT organisation’s needs and plans is essential. This requires conducting interviews and running workshops with the organisation’s key representatives.
3. High-level design
Based on the audit and needs assessment, our consultants draft the HLD (High Level Design) which provides an overview of the architecture, including:1. A definition of structural
elements: - Core network (WAN - MAN) - Access networks (Lan, wireless,...) - High availability services - Security services - ToIP and VoIP - External access (VPN) - QoS
2. A technical-financial assessment 3. The macro plan
4. Validation
This is often conducted iteratively, based on different possibilities and priorities. At the end of it, technical,
functional and budgetary choices are made and the macro-plan is drawn up.
5. Assistance
This stage involves:1. Drawing up operating methods
(LLD) 2. Project integration monitoring 3. Project follow-up 4. Third-level support from our
experts 5. Technical customer sign-off before
final implementation 6. Skills transfer to the operational
teams
Our ability to assist you from the audit stage right through to implementation is proof of our expertise and dedication.
