Converged Network Optimisation
How can you be certain that you have the best and most cost effective Wide Area Network (WAN)?
A perfectly sized, cost effective network, fully optimised specifically for the prevailing and forecast traffic profiles, is always the goal.
The problem is – how can you make an informed decision?
Talking to a WAN provider is the place that most people start - although the conflict of interest is never lost on the IT team. Asking a WAN provider whether they are right for you is like asking a car salesman if he thinks buying his car would be a good move! This is not meant as a criticism but it’s clearly impossible for us to expect any network provider to remain totally impartial when recommending the right network.
This is where NNT come in! We begin with a forensic analysis of the prevailing traffic and application profiles. We use a combination of industrial-strength protocol and netflow analysis to generate an empirical view of the traffic and application activity. We use this to establish the right network size and structure, giving consideration at this point to the possibility of using WAN acceleration. If the traffic lends itself to this type of technology, this can be a cast iron approach to improving performance and reducing costs.
NNT have provided and supported network implementations from a multitude of WAN providers. Our strength is in our ability to source the best provider for you based on real data - not just commercial incentive!
Please put us to the test or ask us to put you in touch with any number of our satisfied customers. This could be the kick start to getting your network fully optimised from both a cost and performance perspective that you have been looking for.
Converged Network Optimisation from NNT
- Understanding and Design – as a manufacturer of IT Operations Management solutions we are in a unique position to provide a sufficiently granular and detailed audit of network usage patterns and demands in order to design the best Wide Area Network (WAN) for your requirements. Once you have an understanding of network traffic flows, volumes and content you can begin to look for ways to better manage the traffic and optimise response times.
- What about Traffic Shaping and Optimisation? – the beauty of the latest technology options available is that you can prove within a matter of days - and with very little effort - whether this is going to be a cost-effective path to take or not. We can implement a trial solution on any sample link within hours and the results are self-evident. It is then just a matter of doing the sums to assess whether or not the implementation of this solution is going to give you the performance needed for the level of investment required. NNT solutions include the pick of the world’s best acceleration appliances based on your traffic profiles, which can be provided on a short-term ‘proof of concept’ deployment to fully satisfy yourself that application performance needs can be met. In many past examples application performance across wide area connections has been improved by up to a factor of 500%.
- Converged Network Implementation and Support – partnering with a number of domestic and worldwide carriers, NNT is able to provide services using the worlds largest and most efficient (for the requirements) IP networks.
- Action - Talk to use about how much you could save in cost whilst gaining in performance for all data and voice requirements!
