Network infrastructure is the unsung, and often neglected, hero that carries the entire load of users and their applications behind the scenes. Its critical role only becomes evident when it experiences a failure. Here in IP Partners, we take the design and implementation of our networks very seriously. The brand name is no coincidence and it’s not from Intellectual Property!
Why should I invest in network infrastructure?
The network is the unique system that connects users and applications wherever they are installed, inside and outside the company. The performance and availability of applications can only be as good as the network’s performance and availability allow. In automotive terms, the network is not only the road but also the tires.
Upgrading the network is vital for any organization that wants to maintain its efficiency, security, and competitiveness. A well-designed, modern network provides:
- Performance & reliability: Older equipment can’t handle the volume of data and the increasing demands of new applications, causing delays and malfunctions.
- Support for new technologies: An upgrade ensures compatibility with new technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud applications, and user service via 5G, which require strong and customizable infrastructures.
- Cost Efficiency: Maintaining old equipment can become quite costly both in money and time. Also, older equipment tend to consume significantly more energy than newer ones that support technologies like Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE).
- Security: As new threats evolve, older network infrastructures become more vulnerable. With an upgrade, you ensure that you have the latest security measures, reducing the risk of breaches.
What can we do for you?
IP Partners collaborates with the two leading global companies in the field: Huawei (Silver Partner and official Service Partner) and Cisco (Premier Partner). Additionally, we have designed and implemented some of the most complex corporate and university campus networks in the country, whether wired (>1,000 ports, 100Gbps core), wireless (>250 access points), or wide area (MPLS, SD-WAN). We undertake the design, implementation, as well as the technical support and management of the entire spectrum of networks:
- Structured Cabling: Including project management and certification of copper wiring and fiber optics.
- Wired Networks: Networks supporting IP telephony, multi-hop multicast networks supporting IPTV, 40/100Gbps core networks, access control, and port-level security.
- PON Optical Networks: As an alternative internal technology in campuses (hotels, universities, malls, etc.)
- Wireless Networks: Studies of complex wireless networks (logistics, sports facilities), pre-marking from the plans (predictive site survey), on-site measurements (site survey) before and after implementation, implementation of enterprise security with cloud RADIUS and single sign-on with Active Directory.
- SAN Storage Networks: Configuration of Fibre Channel (FC) and FC over Ethernet networks. Optimization of multigigabit Ethernet networks for iSCSI use.
- Wide Area Network: Connecting branches either through dedicated technologies (MPLS, VPLS, MetroEthernet) or via the Internet (SD-WAN, VPN). Connection of external workers (VPN, Zero Trust Network Access – ZTNA, Direct Cloud Access).
- Transitional Networks: Development and implementation of a transition plan during the merger or divestiture of companies or technology change.
- Management Systems: Customization of conventional Network Management Systems (NMS) and Software Defined Network / Access systems (SDN/SDA) such as Huawei’s iMaster-NCE. Additionally, in all technical support and administration contracts, the managed systems can participate in our company’s Network Operations Center (NOC) systems.
