Network management

Network management: a solid foundation for your IT

A network that simply works, from the internet connection to the last desk. We design, build, maintain and optimise your Wi-Fi, firewall, switches and connections, and keep a constant eye on them. Your colleagues work quickly and securely, in the office, on the shop floor and on the road.

What is network management

Everything that is connected, working in harmony

A business network is much more than computers with internet access. Printers, phones, cameras, access control, scanners and other smart devices all rely on it, and so does the link to your cloud environment. Network management makes sure all these parts work together smoothly, that everyone can reach the systems they need quickly, and that uninvited guests stay outside. We manage the foundation from the incoming internet line to the network socket at your desk, and we keep it up to date as your organisation grows.

  • Wi-Fi with good coverage, for staff and guests
  • A firewall that grows with your organisation
  • Secure VPN connections and links between locations
  • Monitoring of switches, access points and connections

What you get

Design and documentation
A network diagram and recorded settings, so it is always clear how your network fits together.
Proactive maintenance
Firmware updates and checks as planned, remotely and outside working hours wherever possible.
One team
Network, system administration and Cybersecurity under one roof, so you have one point of contact for everything to do with connectivity.

Our approach

Design, build, maintain and optimise

A good network starts with a well thought out design. Where do the access points go, how do we divide the network into logical segments and how much room is there for growth? Then we set everything up carefully and document it.

A network that is well designed and neatly built needs less maintenance and is easier to improve. That is why we put so much care into the first two steps. Maintaining and optimising continue from there: we look at what can be better and adapt the network as your organisation changes.

  • Design: a plan that suits your building, your people and your growth
  • Build: tidy installation, cabling and configuration
  • Maintain: updates, checks and monitoring
  • Optimise: faster, more secure and ready for what comes next

The building blocks

What we manage in your network

Network management consists of several building blocks that together form your foundation. We manage them as a whole, so a change in one place fits with the rest. Our monitoring keeps a continuous eye on devices and connections, so we can schedule an improvement before your colleagues notice anything.

  • Firewall: who and what may enter and leave your network
  • Switches and cabling: the backbone of your office
  • Wi-Fi: coverage and speed in every room, including the warehouse or hall
  • Guest network: internet for visitors, separate from your business network
  • VPN: secure working from home or on the move
  • Links between locations, so every site works as one network

The difference

Network management and system administration: what is the difference?

In SMEs, network management and system administration are often handled by the same person or department. In larger organisations these tasks are usually split. The system administrator takes care of servers, software, updates and backup. The network administrator looks after the bottom layer: everything from where the internet enters the building to the workplace.

That bottom layer is also your first line of defence. A well configured firewall and a network divided into logical segments keep your environment clear and secure. That is why network management and Cybersecurity work closely together at Infodatek Group.

For IT departments

Network management alongside your own IT department

Larger and more complex organisations often have their own IT department, but not always a network specialist in house. We then help to design, build and manage the corporate network, often together with our Cybersecurity and Expert IT services. Our specialists step in where needed, from a complete network renewal to day-to-day management.

Infodatek Group is a Cisco Premier Partner with several network specialists in the team. You get network management, security and an engineer on site from one partner, while your IT department stays in control.

Applications

A network for every working environment

Every building and every organisation needs a different network. These are situations we come across often.

Office

Fast Wi-Fi in every meeting room, a separate part of the network for printers and telephony, and a guest network for visitors. Everything clearly organised, so new devices can be added without any fuss.

Warehouse, hall and workshop

Large spaces, racking and metal call for a carefully planned Wi-Fi design. That way scanners, tablets and terminals work in every corner of the building, even when the hall is extended later on.

Several locations

All sites securely connected, with the same settings and one overview. We connect a new location according to the same design, so it joins in from day one.

Cameras and smart devices

Cameras, access gates, climate control and other smart devices get their own shielded part of the network. They work reliably and stay separate from your business data.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about network management

Why does the Wi-Fi work better in one part of our building than in another?

Coverage depends on where the access points are, on walls and racking, and on the number of users. With a Wi-Fi survey we map where the signal is strong and where it can be better. We then advise on extra or relocated access points and the right settings, so working is pleasant everywhere in the building.

Do we need a guest network?

A guest network gives visitors, suppliers and personal phones internet access, separate from your business network. It is convenient for your guests and keeps your own systems clearly organised. We set it up with its own password or a sign-in page, and decide how much bandwidth it may use, so your own work always comes first.

Can you take over management of our existing equipment?

Usually, yes. We start with an inventory of your firewall, switches and access points. What is in good shape, we simply take into management. If something is due for replacement, we tell you why and give you a proposal, so you can plan it at a time that suits you.

How do you connect several locations?

With a secure connection between the firewalls at your sites, all locations work as one network. Colleagues reach the same systems wherever they are, and we manage everything from a single overview. We keep the settings identical at every site, so a new location can be connected quickly and to the same design.

Can you manage just the network, alongside our own IT department?

Yes. Many IT departments have day-to-day operations well in hand and bring us in for the network. We take over network management, help with a renewal or join as a specialist through Expert IT. Your IT department stays in charge, and we bring the network expertise and the extra pair of hands.
