Network Infrastructure is the means by which data travels around in your business. It is how you are able to annoy your employees while you are on travel. It includes physical cabling, network switches, routers, WiFi devices, and fibre or wireless links between buildings or devices.
If something goes wrong with your network then more then likely your business will stop along with it, because everything will stop working, you won’t be able to send emails to remind Eric to make that sale, and Eric won’t be able to print that report or fax it to you to prove to you he is indeed capable of doing his job.
New technology developments now demand connectivity for devices such as your printers, CCTV cameras, alarms, scanners, faxes and more. All of these devices are connected to a network and all of these receive and send data.
But Where oh Where does the responsibility for your network start and end? truth is your service provider will only tell you that they are responsible for their devices and will more than likely blame your network infrastructure for problems when they are too ashamed to admit that they don’t know how to solve the problem.
It is essential to properly plan, monitor and maintain your network infrastructure to ensure business continuity.
If you use your network for any form of credit/debit card payments, you are required by law to abide by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard. This includes the security of your physical network.
Changes in one small part can impact or affect the performance and/or security of the overall network. Changing or upgrading devices such as firewalls, routers, switches, servers and cabling should be planned well ahead of time to ensure the change is for the good of the business.
