Network Management
Building responsive, reliable and secure networks
Network-centric computing has moved to a new level. Applications
are distributed, data is spread across disparate repositories, and
employees are constantly on the move. RL Phillips understands the fine balance
required among network components. Applications, data, routers,
ISPs have to work in consort to provide the seamless fabric of day-to-day
computing.
The question is, how responsive, reliable, agile, and secure is
your network?
From the very basics of intra-office networks to the most complex
distributed enterprise solutions, RL Phillips can help make sure
you have a solid network with built-in reliability and responsiveness.
Our service methodology begins with a network assessment, then
detailed recommendations and plans to fully address specific business
processes. Visibility is carried out through comprehensive documentation
on hardware, software, processes, and best practices for network
management. A 4-point process delivers solutions that are reliable,
responsive, agile and secure. And, most importantly, we deliver
ROI.
Recognizing that the network continues to grow and expand, we build
in agility by using state-of-the-art architectural plans that call
for proven tools and technologies—built to grow, and built
to last. Our approach is to maintain constant visibility into the
network at every moment.
Network audit, assessment and recommendations
Starting with a 50-point survey, an enterprise-wide information
infrastructure analysis is performed to asses each component of
the network. The RL Phillips team identifies performance, connectivity,
and interoperability issues. Your current network--both physical
and logical-- is fully documented, covering virtually every component
of your network including inter-connectivity, network performance,
remote access, and access control.
Next, we deliver short-, mid-, and long term recommendations.
We set clear deliverables, milestones and resource requirements
in each report.
The result: a complete blueprint of your present network
with a concise plan for optimization and growth.
With this approach, you get ROI visibility right up front.
And specific business-driven objectives as guideposts for design,
deployment, and management.
Design
The network blueprint is the foundation for improved network
capabilities. Our network architects produce thorough designs and
specifications that leverage your current information assets while
ensuring that new projects provide the agility to accommodate future
growth.
We call this an "evolutionary infrastructure"; one that
assumes and open, yet secure design.
Our service methodology includes requirements planning
to identify specific equipment, services, and implementation procedures.
Comprehensive design blueprints and milestone-based project plans
specify tools, technologies, human resources, dependencies, and
costs, so that every aspect of network design and management has
been factored and priced with specific criteria-based success metrics.
Simply said, RL Phillips' "measure twice, cut once" philosophy
saves time, money, and keeps the initiative on track.
Implementation
A staged deployment methodology provides a clear and secure means
for implementing new network technologies. RL Phillips implementations
utilize best practices to ensure a non-disruptive deployment progression.
From product installation to configuration, customization and integration,
RL Phillips professionals use a meticulous and orderly process to
cut over to new solutions without interfering day-to-day operations.
And, each project includes complete end-to-end testing of network
systems so that every network component is fully optimized, validated
and secure. Again, full documentation of this process ensures visibility
while mitigating system disruption.
Network optimization and monitoring
RL Phillips' network health services combine constant monitoring
with advanced optimization techniques. From every protocol, every
server, every port, your network is optimized for performance, availability
and security. We provide detailed analysis of network bandwidth,
status of nodes, traffic conversation statistics, and protocol analysis.
Our solutions are designed to support existing SLA's (service level
agreements), and we use those as a constant benchmark for success.
We're proactive in this pursuit, actually probing for possible bottlenecks,
vulnerabilities and under-performing network components. The goal:
reliability and responsiveness in every event, for every user.
Whether your network spans 25 people in a single office
or 200 offices worldwide, RL Phillips' best practice approach to
network health saves time, saves money, and prevents problems before
they have a chance to develop.
