Network Assessment

NetWorks Group consultants are skilled in assessing how well technology infrastructure meets specific business requirements and will accommodate a company's future growth. Our network assessment service includes a complete review of your current enterprise infrastructure, including design, equipment, capacity, manageability, reliability, scalability, reporting, efficiency, and configuration. The result of the assessment is a gap analysis based on your current rating vs. industry best practices, as well as current and future business objectives for the network.

Our network audits address the following areas:

• Infrastructure planning
• Technologies
• Topology
• Protocols
• Utilization
• High availability
• Backup and recovery
• Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
• Application integration

This service is also useful in gauging how well a network will accommodate new services such as e-commerce, CRM solutions or other enterprise business applications.

Approach and Methodologies

Depending on the required output of the assessment, various tools may be used to gather information, including but not limited to network monitoring and analysis, trend analysis, SNMP data acquisition and analysis, routing table evaluation and end-user performance measurement. Data collection and analysis culminates in a comprehensive executive report that will provide a detailed network benchmark as well as prioritized, strategic recommendations for corrective action for optimal network availability and performance.
