What is good Network Infrastructure?
Network infrastructure refers to the equipment connecting your organisations data, devices and software. This can include equipment within your business, but may also include technologies outside your business. For example how your business connects to a cloud service or alternate business location.
Well-designed network infrastructure is important to ensure your business maintains peak productivity. Network failures can stop work, prevent communications, result in financial loss, tarnish your brand in the eyes of customers or even put lives at risk. When done well, good network infrastructure keeps your business, staff and machinery running, and give you access to features and functionality such as remote work or monitoring previously possible.
Inside Tips
- Take the time to understand how your network is structured and maintain schematics to make communication, support and troubleshooting easy.
- To better understand your connectivity requirements, consider the type of data your teams need to access. Video, images, voice or email. Each present different challenges.
- Consider how much data your teams need to process concurrently, and at what speed they need to be able to access this.
- Don’t overlook syncing requirements. As users go on and offline ensure this does not cause issues with how your staff collaborate on files.
- Be cautious during any data migration. Make sure to create a backup and perform appropriate quality control checks at key stages.
- Ensure key business processes are not slowed or limited by less crucial tasks such as staff browsing habits or larger background tasks that may run over the network.
- Ensure the locations your business operates out of most frequently have fast and reliable connectivity.
