These services produce detailed network specifications and implementation tactics necessary to achieve clients' business objectives. We provide clients a set of working papers that identify the specific technologies to be used and how these technologies will be configured and implemented. These services also take into consideration how the new technology will integrate into the client's existing hardware and software and how it will be managed on an ongoing basis. Our network design services include: Defining functional requirements Developing multi-vendor integration plans Preparing technical design documentation Developing engineering specifications and documents Providing detailed component purchasing lists The network implementation phase includes value-added services, such as IP addressing, router configuration, and project management. We have built significant implementation expertise in integrating new networking systems without disrupting ongoing business operations. We customise our implementation plans for each client, so that they may include the following activities: Deploying high-speed backbone networks Integrating network management platforms Building network operations and management centres Implementing remote access technology Re-configuring and upgrading network elements, systems and facilities We also assist our clients with the ongoing tasks necessary to keep their networks fully operational. Specific operations activities include: Network administration, including management of user accounts, service level monitoring, and network accounting practices Network utilisation analysis, involving ongoing measurement of network activity against established network baselines Ongoing documentation of physical assets, logical topologies, policies and procedures Network troubleshooting, fault detection, isolation, repair and restoration Alarm management, problem diagnosis, and dispatch of service resources Network backup, including disaster recovery procedures Routine moves, additions, and changes While business and technology are in constant evolution, your networking infrastructure has to perform consistently and reliably to offer the competitive advantage to your organisation needs. Whether you would like to increase your bandwidth, transmit various types of information (data, voice, and video), mix LAN/WAN infrastructures and/or update equipment and software, Genisys can help. Understanding how your existing network infrastructure currently handles desktop traffic, bandwidth-hungry applications, collaborative computing, remote traffic from branch offices, telecommuters, mobile workers and clients is the first step that we take in understanding your infrastructure requirements. We then works with you to design a network infrastructure that handles your current requirements yet takes into consideration the need to integrate new technologies so that your investment is protected into the future. We follow design with sourcing the equipment, implementing the network, and monitoring and sustaining your installation via our Project Management team. Our goal is to dramatically reduce the time required to implement your installation. The phases of assessment, design and sourcing will be handled according to your project schedule, so that the efficiency of your current and/or new network will be ensured.
