Networking

Balancing business and technology pressures is a constant challenge. You need to improve operations by lowering costs, reducing risks, or enhancing customer experience. Yet, keeping up with technology evolution, and hiring and retaining the right skills and expertise is just as hard.

In addition, significant trends are changing the playing field. These include cloud, the Internet of Things, big data, and mobility – all of which are impacting your ability to deliver on the bottom line, reduce risk, win customers, and grow revenue.

Hurricane Systems sees the network as the platform for all your business functions and communications. It should provide a powerful point of differentiation through availability, flexibility, scalability, performance, and security.

Wired and Wireless

Accessibility and ease of use are the main advantages of wireless internet. There is no need for cables, sockets, etc. making life easier for the user, and potentially the network provider too, as set up costs can be lower. Although the current trend is definitely towards wireless networks, mainly because they are often more convenient for users, wired networks can be superior when it comes to issues such as network security and faster upload/download speeds.

Data Centre Networking

A data centre today is less bound to physical and geographic constraints than ever before. Technically, a data center is the collection of components that share a common IP address map with one another, and which may be (though not necessarily) joined together by a common domain. To the extent that the bandwidth of the underlying infrastructure permits it, a single data center may span the globe.

Network Performance Optimisation

Network performance is a critical piece of our strategy to run production applications. Network optimization services help make sure we are at top performance.
Optimize critical processes for faster network performance

  • Improve network optimization by finding the source of network and application reliability issues.
    Monitor and troubleshoot network devices
  • Identify, monitor, diagnose and troubleshoot network issues even before users report them.
  • Plan network capacity needs
    Forecast when a critical network device’s capacity will be exhausted and plan future requirements.

Software-Defined Networking

SDN is a state-of-the-art network management and security solution. It provides what enterprises consistently tell us they need: reduced network management costs, increased network security and an improved end-user experience. SES is the only commercially available SDN solution that improves all these areas: it reduces network management costs by removing duplication of effort; it increases network security by automating responses to security threats; and it improves end-user experience because people no longer have to wait for network changes to be made manually.

Network Transformation

Capability drives process improvement, stimulates innovation, and merges voice, data, contact center, and video into a single, secure network, creating a network transformation plan establishes a solidly outlined plan to get the most out of a service provider’s next-generation network investment. Networking expert presents the essential five steps needed to create a flexible service-layer architecture.

Network Security

Network security is an organization’s strategy and provisions for ensuring the security of its assets and all network traffic. Network security is manifested in an implementation of security hardware and software. The concept of defense in depth is observed as a best practice in network security, prescribing for the network to be secured in layers. These layers apply an assortment of security controls to sift out threats trying to enter the network:

  • Access control
  • Identification
  • Authentication
  • Malware detection
  • Encryption
  • URL filtering
  • Content filtering

These layers are built through the deployment of firewalls, intrusion prevention systems and antivirus components. Among the components for enforcement, the firewall (an access control mechanism) is the foundation of network security.

Voice and Video Collaboration

As audio and video conferencing move rapidly into the mainstream, customers and end users are demanding unprecedented performance, reliability, scalability, and security. The workplace of the future is not only physical building or office. It’s a way of working that results when technologies, people and processes converge into one seamless digital experience that blends personal and professional lives. With cutting-edge advances in voice, video and content sharing solutions, organizations can extend this level of seamless collaboration across every team and department so everyone can work together face-to-face no matter where they are located.

Structured Cabling

A properly designed and installed cabling system provides a cabling infrastructure that delivers predictable performance as well as has the flexibility to accommodate moves, adds and changes; maximizes system availability, provides redundancy; and future proofs the usability of the cabling system.
  • Potential for downtime is reduced as potential for human error is drastically reduced due to this organization.
  • Time savings; cable and port tracing becomes a much easier job with a structured cabling system.
  • Aesthetics; Never underestimate the looks! A structured cabling system will look much cleaner than a point to point method.

CCTV

In today’s fast moving world of technology, it’s important that the correct technology is applied in all areas of business and CCTV is no exception. Many variants of IP Based solutions are available on the market today so it is critical for you that your integrator provides the correct advice.
