Network Infrastructure: Moves, Additions, and Changes
Moves
Moves involve relocating existing network infrastructure, which may include:
- Relocating workstations: Moving computers, phones, and other devices to new locations within the office.
- Server relocation: Transfer of servers and associated equipment to new server rooms or data centres, as well as data cabinet tidies and re-organisation of equipment.
- Cable management: Ensuring that cables are properly disconnected, moved, and reconnected to maintain network integrity, including data cable removal and disposal as required.
- AV re-installation: AV systems play a major part in modern office spaces today, we can provide services to safely remove and re-install them in your new location, helping your company to minimise disruption.
Additions
Additions refer to integrating new components into the existing network, which can include:
- Adding new workstations: Setting up additional computers, phones, and other devices.
- Installing additional servers: Expanding server capacity by adding new servers to the network.
- Expanding network infrastructure: Adding new cabling, switches, and routers to support the growth.
Changes
Changes involve modifying the existing network setup to improve performance or adapt to new requirements, such as:
- Upgrading equipment: Replacing outdated hardware with newer, more efficient models.
- Reconfiguring network layouts: Altering the physical or logical layout of the network for better performance.
- Updating cabling: Upgrading cabling to meet higher standards or support new technologies. For example, Power over Ethernet (PoE) is popular as networks expand and is a cost-effective solution for devices that require both power and data connections.
