Network audits

School networks are constantly growing but often without the adequate time to carefully plan how these changes impact students and staff, IT complexity, safety and the management of your network.

This eventually leads to poorly performing networks that suffer from slow or inconsistent connectivity, cumbersome infrastructures that can’t offer agility or flexibility, increased management time, and potential security issues.

• Inventory, configuration & analysis topology
• Traffic light report of recommendations
• Cyber-attack avoidance analysis
• Fault finding and diagnosis
• Equipment examination

Next generation switching

In today’s modern networks, switches must be highly reliable, easy to manage at scale, and compatible with the latest technologies for the foreseeable future as your school network grows.

There are many components to installing and maintaining a healthy switching network, and each requires dedicated resources.
