Network analysis
We measure load, errors and weak points.
A safer, faster network, without rebuilding from scratch
We put your existing network in order: we separate traffic into zones, remove bottlenecks and prioritise what matters most, so everything runs faster and more securely.
Do you recognise any of these signs?
If the answer is “yes” to even one, your network can probably work much better.
- The network is slow at certain times of day
- Calls and video meetings stutter or drop
- Cameras, guests and computers are on the same network
- Nobody knows exactly what is connected
- The network has grown over the years without a plan
- You have no firewall, or nobody maintains it
Segmentation
Like a building with separate sections and keys
In a well-organised building, a visitor cannot walk into accounting and a courier cannot enter the server room. Segmentation does the same in the network: it divides it into zones, and each zone sees only what it needs. If one device is infected or fails, the problem stays contained in its zone and does not spread across the whole system.
Security
An attack or virus cannot move freely through the network.
Order and clarity
You know exactly what is where and who has access to what.
Better performance
Traffic in one zone does not slow down the others.
Optimisation
More from the network you already have
Removing bottlenecks
We find where traffic gets stuck and fix it.
Priority for voice and video
Calls and meetings go first, even when the network is busy.
Firewall protection
Control of traffic to the internet and between zones, with Fortinet equipment. More about firewall protection.
How we work
01
Network assessment
We list the equipment and measure how the network really performs.
02
Report and recommendations
We clearly explain what the problem is, what is urgent and what can wait.
03
Phased implementation
We make changes in a planned way, at times that do not disrupt work.
04
Monitoring
We monitor the network and react before a problem becomes a failure.
Questions and answers
Key terms, simply explained
Network security without the technical jargon.
What is network segmentation?
Segmentation is dividing one network into several separate parts (zones), for example for staff, guests, cameras and telephony. Each zone sees only what it needs, which makes the network more secure and easier to manage.
What is a VLAN?
A VLAN (virtual local area network) is the most common way to implement segmentation. Devices can be plugged into the same cables and switches but behave as if they were on completely separate networks.
Why shouldn't cameras and guests be on the same network as computers?
Because cameras and guest devices are often the weakest point of protection. If they share a network with computers and servers, an attacker can use them to reach your data. Separating them closes that path.
What is a firewall?
A firewall is the network's “doorkeeper”: it checks all traffic and lets through only what is allowed, to the internet, from the internet and between zones. Beyond blocking, a modern firewall recognises and stops known threats.
What is QoS?
QoS (Quality of Service) means giving priority to important traffic. When the network is busy, phone calls and video meetings go first, while, for example, a large file download waits a second, so the conversation does not break up.
What is a network assessment?
It is a detailed review of the existing network: what equipment there is, how it is connected, how heavily it is loaded and where the security risks are. At the end you get a report with clear priorities.
Does optimisation interrupt work?
We plan changes in phases and carry them out when they cause the least disruption, often outside working hours. The goal is for users to notice only that the network works better.
When did someone last look at your network?
Book an assessment and you will get a clear report on the state of your network and a proposal for what to fix first.
