The fast pace of growth in most network environments means that much of your original network documentation is out of date and no longer reflects the true topology of the current network infrastructure.
Updating this documentation can be time-consuming and often drains resources from the important day-to-day operations of your network. Maintaining this documentation is absolutely essential in large enterprise environments and protects the organisation from loss of important information due to personnel changes. Up-to-date and accurate network documentation allows you to have a reference point for your network at all times.
3net can help with our documentation services that provide detailed, constantly available, secure and up-to-date documentation of your entire networked environment. This documentation is the reference guide to your network and is an invaluable tool for troubleshooting your environment.
Our experienced network consultants can audit your network and provide comprehensive documentation to assist in the operation and management of the services you provide to your customers. Using a combination of tools, physical investigation and interviews we will:
- Document network infrastructure i.e. Routers / Switches / Hubs / Configurations / Service connections / Backbone connections / User connections
- Identify and document protocols in use Produce documentation on logical network topology and addressing details
- Review and document current working practices
- Review and document change control procedures Identify and document service contacts and SLA’s for key equipment and services
3net will then produce a graphical representation with technical commentary of the components discovered during the on-site inspection of your network infrastructure. Any potential network issues with subsequent recommendations are also highlighted and fully reported as part of the audit documentation.
Having an up-to-date blueprint of your infrastructure will improve response times to problem solving by freeing up IT operations staff and allowing them to spend more time solving problems rather than “searching for needles in haystacks”.
