Design
Competent design of
the network is the bedrock upon which modern IT service
delivery depends. A robust, resilient design is essential if the network is to
deliver the range of services that Local Government needs. Sound design
principles allow a network to respond to changing systems, applications and user
demands. NetUnity
consultants bring unrivalled experience in Banking, Manufacturing and
Defence network design to the Local Governmental arena, ensuring that
best-of-breed techniques are balanced with cost-effective component selection
and integration.
Vitally, specific experience in Local Government networks
allows NetUnity to understand and accommodate the need for budgetary
control in this environment.
We
have specific experience in the delivery of:
-
New
Design, Redesign Integration, and Upgrades. While all designers
enjoy the ease and clarity of designing in a "green-field"
situation, NetUnity is well experienced in taking existing designs and
reshaping them for new paradigms of network functionality. We also realise
that when an existing design is modified, a major part of the redesign is
the management of the existing network during upgrades to ensure that
existing services are not compromised.
-
VoIP
Implementation. A very specific design skill that we are proud to
deliver is that of voice and data integration. The real-time nature of voice
traffic demands that the network be very carefully engineered to ensure
that it is capable of delivering voice at toll-quality, and that doing so
does not degrade its ability to deliver data in a timely manner. When done
properly, Voice and Data integration produces significant cost savings. When
done badly, it destroys the function of a network. We at NetUnity have a
track record of successful Voice and Data integration to rely
upon.
-
Optimised
Routing Protocol implementation. A network should be self-regulating and
self-repairing, but can only be so if its internal function has been
designed optimally. NetUnity engineers' experience is that properly
optimisation of the protocol design can cost little, while neglect or
inexperience in this important field will have damaging effects on
operational costs and downtime.
-
Physical
Infrastructure and Active Components. There are numerous hardware
manufacturers and Telco's, and use of the correct components can make
significant differences to build and operational costs. NetUnity
delivers function at sensible prices.
-
Management
(OpenView/CiscoWorks/SNMP). Network Management tools are a vital
component in the network manager's tool bag. However, there is a great deal
of hype in this area. Once again, extensive experience in many arenas allows NetUnity to deliver
management tools that are both technically and economically effective.
