To succeed in modern changing business environment your conception need to be popularized efficiently than ever before. Operation perfection need to be achieved by periodically studying own business processes and systems in order to increase productivity, mobility, secure business continuity, satisfy customer needs and broaden their possibilities. Besides new technologies and business strategies, which promote possibilities broadening, commercial scale and part on the market increase need to be implemented.

Operation Perfection

Network solutions help to increase productivity thanks to improvement in applications and services granting, instrumental methods for joint work in a real time and also increase in business processes implementation. Scalable network infrastructure contributes to more effective use of existing resources and also speeds up implementation of business solutions according to market demands grow. Building intellectual technologies and security functions into a network allows assuring business continuity thanks to high network and applications access, protection from external and internal security threats corresponding with control agencies demands and restoring capacity after accidents.

Customer Possibilities

Network solutions promote improvement in customer service and increase in business competitiveness thanks to geography enlargement, which gives clients access to your company any time from any point. Besides support and granting of multimedia content, for example voice information and video, allows increase service quality. Thanks to identification and access control solutions customers get unique resources- now they can get additional content according to their personal profile.

Innovations for Business

Network solutions allow using advanced services and technologies, which could provide your business with additional advantages. Thank to them your company could come out on a new markets and open up new possibilities. Voice mail solutions, Wi Fi technologies and security resources based on IP- are just some representatives of the new wave of advanced applications, which promote drastic transformation in company work methods. Think over what is the best way to organize your corporate network, to use advantages of new applications and services that help to achieve set goals.

Routing and Commutation are Extremely Important for the Company Success

Science about network is considerably new, that is why it heritage terminology from other disciplines. A lot of network terms- for example bridge, hub, routing, and commutation are taken from the physical transportation sphere. This adoption is very successful. As revolution in the transportation sphere- railway appearance, became economic catalyst for Industrial era, so networks are economic catalyst for information era. Networks as railways need reliable infrastructure. Networks are based on the routing and commutation theories.

Basic kind of network consists of two elements (electronic devices), between which data movement assured by the third element is conducted. Computer and directly connected to it printer (through parallel or USB port) do not form network, we can talk about network when computer and printer are connected to commutator or router.

Many companies started to consider option to launch network infrastructure after Internet appearance. Even the smallest businesses need Internet connection provided by network, which allows receiving e-mails and advertisement, selling products and services on-line, cooperating with customers and vendors. Switch to network environment opens up new possibilities, including ones, which allow using business applications on line and for joint work. After network appearance one of the most important questions is to assure data security.

Lately network equipment producers add routing options to commutators and broaden routers possibilities, especially what concerns network security and quality control management. Frequently these functions are implemented by modules, which are connected to multi services platforms. Besides nowadays dedicated routers are designated for example access router secures connection between local branch and backbone corporate network, when ISP works with this network via reference router. Thus very different devices are called routers.

Commutators and routers evolve and boundaries between them are washed out, but one basic difference stays: commutators are situated in LAN networks, when routers are needed in WAN networks. We can draw an analogy with office telephony system of the past: commutation is dialing four-digit number to call somebody in the same building, when router analog is dialing nine to enter external network and then dial seven or nine-digit number.

System Solutions

Integrated solutions for network founding are protected, reliable and compatible with technology of the future offer a lot of advantages for developing companies and especially for those, which open up new branches. Instead of buying separate products for realization of separate functions, like routing, commutation, security providing, Internet-gateways providing company can choose system solution, which includes all elements necessary for full scale and safe communications, which cover all corporate infrastructure and removed nodes via Internet.

System approach affords to achieve several goals:

Handle responsibility for security and reliability from separate computers and users to network itself;
Create network adaptable to changing demands;
Produce network as ordered and organized system not a set of isolated and separately managed modules;
System approach turns network from passive connection mechanism into active inseparable part of company business processes

System approach to routing and commutation allows all employees even if they are on different sites have equal access to business applications, IP-communications and videoconferencing, which before could be used only in a offices. Network solutions for branches most of the time have module architecture, which help to provide every branch with only necessary functions. Modules also allow not replacing equipment completely but modernizing it if necessary.

Additional advantage of system approach is its ability centrally manage network from headquarter, which helps to minimize technical personnel quantity and provide all employees on the sites with reliable service. For majority of SMB representatives main criteria while choosing network solution is security. Complex solution implementation and centralized administration allows protecting important business data, preventing virus, spyware penetration, repulsing Internet attacks and neutralizing other security threats.

Firewalls (designated routers with software, which checks incoming data and ensure protection from attacks) and VPN, which allows to organize via Internet or operator network protected connection between two networks (for example headquarter and subsidiary) using encoding technology, are used for protection.

Sound decision to by network technologies also promotes resources economy from a long term perspective. For example difference in price between level 2 commutator and multilevel commutator is insignificant when possibilities of the last one are much wider. If company plans to decrees telecommunication expenses by implementing IP-communication system, it is recommended to buy multilevel commutator, which after modernization could serve new infrastructure. Level 2 commutator needs to be change under these circumstances.

Network base that ensures support of advanced technology, for example IP-communications, allows SMB companies save resources:

Voice and data transmitting could be achieved via one network;
You need to buy and maintain only one set of equipment;
Increase or liquidation of payment for communicational network between units connected via network.

What’s next?

There is a possibility that you already have some network technologies. On the next stage you have to figure out if your network base corresponds with company needs in present time and in future.
Equipment choice depends on what you are going to do with your network. For example for IP-telephony routing and commutation equipment, which supports this technology, need to be bought.
If you are not sure that network base allow your company move into the right direction you have to start from the evaluation of the existed equipment.
Make sure your network is able to provide necessary security level for your business.
Find out if your structure is flexible enough, reliable and scalable to support future grows.
