Network and Voice
Communication and collaboration are central to today’s networks – providing the framework for information (data) to flow to all the places it needs to go. Data is an expansive term today, encompassing digital packets that carry voices from one point to the next, files or applications, or…well, the list goes on. And just like that list, networks need to keep going, requiring security, integrity, speed, and capacity to get the job done while providing a quality user experience. It’s a lot of work, and you’re up to the task, and the opportunity.

Networks Overview at a Glance
Infrastructure
Traditionally, infrastructure was limited to solid things - buildings, cabling, servers, computers, phones, and monitors - but today it also encompasses the virtual; with Cloud approaches, Datacenters (including Colocation), and Contact Centers empowering organizations to achieve more while being increasingly efficient.
Connection
Without a connection, each point in a network (people, buildings, and equipment) is a solitary and isolated island itself. Of course, this is a modern world with many ways to get to that island, and the best strategy is to have many connection options in place to ensure uptime and optimal experience for all tasks.
Software/Applications
Microsoft teams. Slack. Salesforce. Zoom. The software and applications organizations work with are housed directly on the desktop or in the Cloud, plus the many unseen processes running in the background to keep the network running safe, fast, and secure – like VPNs, firewalls, cybersecurity, and password assistants.
Protocols, Management, Oversight
IT departments work hard, assisted by the many solutions and processes put in place to watch the network, so they don’t have to – virtual gauges and warning lights with tolerances set to notify when, or hopefully before, there is an issue. Many of these tasks today are looked after by a Managed Services Provider.
