New networks, new technologies, new configurations

Many of our private clients - and all our corporate clients - network their computers. Their reasons and technologies vary widely, and many of them have reconfigured their networks to take advantage of new technologies or meet new operational demands.

Whether it's a new network or a reconfiguration, Connecting London will work with you every step of the way.

Picking the right route

You may need a simple LAN (Local Area Network), linking your computers in house. You may need a WAN (Wide Area Network) using the public network to connect separated locations. You may need a VPN (Virtual Private Network) - a part of the public network reserved for your use. You may enjoy the flexibility of a wireless network. You may want access to an ASP (Application Service Provider). And so on.

At Connecting London, we start with your business needs, and only recommend a particular network approach when we know what you want to achieve.

An impartial approach

Technology-neutral, at Connecting London, we can recommend the optimum. We're expert in the technologies of Microsoft, Netgear and Zyxel and other companies, which between them meet just about all requirements, and work closely with each company.

We use advanced tools to identify problems before they happen, and point us to solutions. And we've developed exceptional strength in multi-location file- and application-sharing.

Detailed proposals and implementation

Our recommendations provide full network designs and detailed written specifications - hardware, software, peripherals and accessories - for:

•   cabling
•   server rooms
•   server setup
•   workstation or other client setup
•   Cat 5 cabling within a building
•   WiFi
•   single or multi-location installation, using LAN or WAN as appropriate
•   broadband (ADSL - or SDSL, which matches uploading and downloading speeds)
•   load-balancing. to avoid congestion and under-utilisation within the network

Every project is accompanied by full documentation, and we are happy to provide network audits; network management, including monitoring (remote or on site); preventative maintenance or repair; full reporting; and disaster-recovery arrangements.
