Why Every Business Needs Proper Network Infrastructure

By Netmon Services

In short, a properly designed network makes all the difference. It ensures efficiency, collaboration, reliability, and most importantly, security. A poorly designed network, on the other hand, is unstable—like a house of cards ready to collapse at the slightest disruption.

Signs of a Bad Network Architecture

Poorly designed networks frequently suffer from connectivity issues, requiring constant IT intervention. These problems often stem from years of ad hoc upgrades and hardware additions that lack a holistic strategy, resulting in tangled cabling, shadow IT, and inefficiencies.

Without structure and documentation, your IT infrastructure is vulnerable to outages, inefficiencies, and security gaps.

What Does Good Network Architecture Look Like?

Proper network architecture is built on industry best practices, is thoroughly documented, and is designed with flexibility in mind. It empowers IT teams to introduce new technologies confidently without compromising system integrity. Most importantly, it supports business continuity and innovation instead of reactive maintenance.

How to Fix Poor Network Design

Start by defining your business goals and building an infrastructure strategy around them. Design your network to enable access to the right resources while minimizing exposure to external threats. A cost-effective, secure, and stable network will reduce downtime and maximize availability.

Netmon’s managed services and networking team applies best practices, up-to-date tools, and extensive documentation to build secure, scalable, and efficient network systems that support business growth.

What difference can proper network infrastructure make for your business?

In short, it makes all the difference. A properly designed network is efficient, collaborative, reliable and most importantly secure. A poorly designed network is none of those things and is essentially a house of cards waiting for the next gentle breeze to take it all down.

Signs of a bad network architecture

A poor network architecture can be easily recognized by its frequent connectivity issues requiring constant attention from IT teams who are in a constant state of recovery and maintenance. Typically these networks don’t start off from a poor standpoint, but after years of operation and ad hoc implementations introducing new equipment and applications to the ecosystem without thinking about the larger picture a network can become a tangled mess of inefficient connection pathways, security holes and shadow IT fixes. Just like a house of cards, as more and more pieces are added, the stability of the structure not only becomes more important but also more unstable and any slight problem can bring it all crashing down.

What does a good network architecture look like?

A proper network design is well documented and follows the best practices of networking, making sure that the core network is efficient and secure. This allows businesses and IT teams the flexibility to add new equipment and software without jeopardizing the integrity of the system as a whole. IT departments with reliable network architecture are able to be more involved in more proactive tasks, and innovation rather than putting out the fires of yesterday and today. An organization’s IT network needs a strong foundation from the start and when new equipment, software or services are added those systems need to be planned for in the network design and properly documented. Even minor changes, need to be considered with the larger scope of the network in mind in order to it will be properly integrated.

How to Fix Poor Network Design?

It starts with your goals and the design of your infrastructure. Identify the goals of your organization and plan a network design that functions to provide the resources to employees and equipment that is needed to be productive but also keeps the core of your network secure from the outside world. The most cost-effective way to operate is also the well planned out to offer the highest availability for your organization to be up to avoid disruptions and distractions that affect your bottom line. As a managed service provider and networking firm, our techs understand the best practices, documentation procedures, hardware, software and solutions needed to develop a reliable and secure network that will increase the stability, productivity and efficiency your organization.

Advantages of a Properly Designed IT Network

Your network is the backbone of your company. You must ensure its strength or risk compromising all the data that is on the network. When it is properly designed, you’ll see significant benefits that provide your network with critical capabilities.

Increased Speeds and Performance

A well-designed network is marked by a high level of performance. When network infrastructure is set up correctly organizations are able to access and leverage their connected equipment and software faster and more reliably which drives better business performance.

Maximize Productivity and Empower Business

When infrastructure is properly set up, the overall organization will benefit, as well as lower maintenance needs, improved service, heightened security and an increase in proactive solutions with quicker project turnaround from their IT teams.

Secure and Seamless File Collaboration

An organization will only get so far if the resources and network used on a daily basis are slow and inefficient. A properly designed infrastructure allows the framework for innovative solutions such as internal file collaboration which allows an organization’s employees and/or users to collaborate on files inside the security of the internal network.

Scalability

You need scalability for your network. With the proper design, you’re able to support the growth of your business without having to redesign the network. A scalable network can change without requiring you to overhaul the infrastructure.

What challenges is your organization facing?

You need to understand the gaps and find ways to improve your productivity. In this changing competitive landscape, the infrastructure of your IT solution carries all the weight.
