Managed Network Plans
Managed Network Plans will:
Reduce the probability of:
- system failures due to lack of updates and routine maintenance
- downtime of critical staff dependent on the flow of information
Reduce the cost of:
- payroll for staff with expertise to address network maintence issues
- downtime at critical junctures in the business operation
Murphy's Law: 'if anything can go wrong it will', seems to apply while you are trying to complete projects or proposals that are critical to your success.
The Problem
Unless you’re in the business of computer networking, any time your organization
spends on maintaining or trouble shooting your network is overhead. As a for-profit
entity, your goal is to minimize this overhead while simultaneously maximizing the benefits
you derive from your data networks. Some organizations’ data networks are large enough
that they benefit from having a full-time network engineer on the payroll. However, many
businesses will decide to approach the problem with a “wait-and-see” attitude.
At Nittany Link, Inc. we provide a comfortable and profitable alternative for those small to midsize
companies that cannot afford the overhead of a full time network engineer and are reluctant
to chance a serious and protracted disruption to those services they derive from their data
networks.
In today's economy, a disruption in your data network is a disruption in your business and a drain
on your cash flow. Most people wouldn't think of letting your car run continuously for six months
without some sort of system maintenance. A computer data network needs the same attention.
Routine maintenance prevents breakdowns and system downtime. Keep your network running optimally
with regular maintenance and you'll experience less downtime and fewer disruptions.
This network has at least 6 Critical Single Points of Failure (CSPOF) that can bring the organization
to a standstill and the cash flow to a halt. However, each of these CSPOF
are manageable with the proper resources.
The Solution
Our Managed Network Plan offers a proactive approach with a full time certified network engineer
dedicated to insuring your network remains available and running at optimal condition.
At a fraction of the cost of a full time network engineer on your payroll, your company receives the
benefit of that same trained professional with current knowledge of the latest operating system patches,
security patches, practices, exploits and vulnerabilities. This network engineer has intimate knowledge of
your unique network environment and will proactively take steps to prevent any unnecessary interruption
in your business operations. From spy-ware, mal-ware and virus scanning, to regular and scheduled defragmentation,
system file integrity scans, log review, to tested updates from software and hardware vendors; our professional
network engineers endeavor to combine the most prompt attention with the most competent service.
Benefits of a Managed Network Plan
With a Managed Network Plan by Nittany Link, Inc. your business can leverage the expertise of certified
professionals while not having to figure out what to do with that professional while the network does not need
attention.
Organizations hire consultants for one or more of the following four reasons:
- to acquire expertise and experience the organization doesn't possess
- to gain objectivity from a third party
- to hire temporary staff to carry out the assignment you know how to do
- to provide credibility and documentation for decisions
With a Managed Network Plan your organization benefits continually in each of these areas.
Additionally, our consultants are available on an hourly basis for consulting in the following
areas:
- developing a human resource technology strategy to identify
goals and priorities and integrate with the information systems
technology plan
- re-engineering work flows. Examine how to achieve efficiencies
by eliminating redundant tasks, improving work procedures and performance
scenarios for evaluations, a data dictionary or even a short shopping
list of requirements
- evaluating options from a range of choices. Expand your
knowledge of available options and examine the suitability for your
environment
- converting from one system or platform to another
- training on specific applications and systems you will use
