Network Design and Support

There’s more to IT then the computers. All too often you find consultants who know their OS of choice, but are unclear on what exactly STP is and how it affects traffic on the wires. What you need is expert advice on switching, firewalls, routers, VLANs, and IP subnetting. 

When trying to solve an existing network issue, or planning the new building, make sure the network is designed properly, and then installed correctly.
