Data networking (LANs & WANs)
The reliability and availability of IP telephony products today now makes a single communication network for voice and data traffic a reality rather than a concept. Reduction in deployment and running costs, coupled with ease of management once operational, makes a converged network an attractive option for most organisations. But the addition of voice, video and other time-sensitive applications puts a greater strain on the network infrastructure - and on the IT Manager and his support team. It is crucial that the network is designed correctly, so Annodata's approach is to start by identifying what the actual user of the network requires.
The average user wants to be able to access services and information when they want to, at whatever time, from any location and at the click of a mouse. Using market-leading products from Cisco, HP and 3COM, Annodata can design and implement networks that provide this experience, whilst ensuring that they are still cost-effective and will assist you in achieving your business goals. Our network solutions cover both Local and Wide Area Networks and can provide solutions for any of the following situations:
Single site deployment.
Connection of remote sites to head office(s).
Connection of home or remote workers to regional and head offices.
Voice and data convergence between multiple sites.
Annodata works only with Tier One carriers to offer Wide Area Networks which are based on Virtual Private Networks over Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) based infrastructures. Our Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are a more cost-effective option than traditional leased line networks and are suitable for carrying time-sensitive applications such as voice or video, due to the inherent prioritisation capabilities which MPLS offers. Available connections range from broadband for home workers to LES1000 feeds into head offices.
We will work closely with you to determine the right bandwidth sizing, the correct location of shared services and the appropriate carrier to suit your individual requirements. Our data networking services include:
Design service
Existing network and infrastructure testing
Hardware, software and bandwidth supply
Implementation services - including pre-staging, soak testing and project management.
Support and optimisation - including tailored maintenance contracts, remote performance monitoring, carrier escalation and regular review meetings to ensure the maximum optimisation of your investment.
