Unreliable networks create frustration, endanger your data and erode the productivity of your staff.

Problems with computer networks ultimately come down to issues of product selection, configuration, integration and maintenance. A poorly selected product will not deliver as promised or will not suit your particular requirements. A poorly configured product will not perform as designed. And even if the product is correctly selected and properly configured it will still cause problems if it is not integrated correctly with your other systems or your business processes.

The on-the-fly approach
A typical characteristic of unreliable networks is what we might call the on-the-fly approach. The on-the-fly approach is characterised by poor technology decisions. This is often attributable to a lack of experience, lack of due process or the wrong advice. Invariably this comes back to haunt the business as it has to wear the integration and support difficulties of the selected technology. A simple decision becomes a costly mistake.
Networks Model

The secret to having a reliable and well integrated computer network is about having an overall vision or as we call it at Excelan “a network model”. The network model forms a template that guides product selection, correct configuration and ongoing management. The model acts as a design benchmark allowing us to guide the evolution of your site.

Our model network is both a philosophy and a daily practice. The philosophy is simple - choose, evaluate, design and deploy “network model” solutions consistently across our client environments. The practice allows us to develop a network that encompasses best practices, industry benchmarks and mainstream technologies.

How the Model Delivers Value

The network model is not an excuse to throw away a network and start again. Instead we use network models as a benchmark to guide the evolution of your network towards certainty and stability. The adoption and integration of our model practices create quality and ultimately save time and money.

Some of the benefits of a model network are:-

We have a thorough understanding of the capabilities of your network; solutions
We know the tips, tweaks, tricks and messages required to optimise performance;
We follow checklist procedures and understand the key areas to cover off when it comes to configuration and integration
The Network Model and the Engineer

Whilst the network model is one of our key tools we also rely on the capabilities of our experienced engineers. Our engineering team contains over 50 years of accumulated IT experience. By keeping our network models up to date and relevant we pass on and transfer this knowledge and experience throughout our engineering team.
