Data cabling

One of the biggest issues with companies today is the inefficient design and components of their data cabling.

We take the hassle out of data cabling for you by assisting you with fresh installation or extensions to your data cabling infrastructure. Our highly experienced network engineers can help you with understanding the requirements, as well as recommending the optimum configurations for your application.

We specialise in consultation and implementation of network and infrastructure solutions. We can recommend what you need to do, how to do it, and we can even do the work for you if required.

Wireless networking

Wireless networking is all about flexibility, allowing your business to work faster and more efficiently. The more internet access your employees have around the office, the more flexible and productive they can be. But, with increased access comes increased vulnerability for your network.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ: Network and infrastructure support

Network infrastructure is the core of your business network. It allows your user devices to connect to services hosted on your servers, either on-premise, in a data centre somewhere as part of a private cloud or in a public cloud such as Microsoft Azure. The network is arguably the most important part of any IT environment, regardless of if you have traditional servers or are 100% cloud-based as an organisation. If your network fails, no matter how good your other services are, you won’t be able to access them.

Our highly experienced network infrastructure support team offers third-line support for all network-related issues and requests and will help to ensure everything is running as it should.

Depending on what networking equipment you already have and its capabilities, we’ll carry out a range of tasks regularly to help keep things running. From the time you become a customer, we’ll work through our on-boarding process and cover the following items:

  • Initial network review and assessment.
  • Recommendations on improvements, ranging from re-patching exercises to neaten things up to replacing aged, out-of-support kit.
  • Installation and configuration of our network monitoring tools to pro-actively manage network devices and ensure regular network device backup — this part of the service depends on the network infrastructure currently in place.
  • Regular reviews of capacity and performance against your business requirements to ensure the network can support you.
  • If your network equipment supports it, regular firmware updates. Network devices like firewalls, switches and wi-fi access points run software that needs updating for performance and security.
Some networking equipment can’t be updated remotely. This is usually because it doesn’t have the capability for this or has stopped being supported by its manufacturer. If this is the case, we’ll let you know, and we can discuss the options. We can always come to the site out of hours and manually update the kit that will support it, or in some cases, we will recommend upgrading the kit. Network switches, wi-fi access points and firewalls require updating to comply with Cyber Essentials. If you have outdated network equipment, you won’t meet the requirements for Cyber Essentials, which is a must-have accreditation.
Yes, we do! Our third-line support team look after servers, storage arrays, NAS boxes and the other elements that make up your IT infrastructure. This can be across cloud, on-premise and in-native cloud services like Microsoft 365. We’ll also look after your backups and recommend any changes to help make your environment more stable and secure.
