Network Audit
Understanding your network assets is the first step in planning performance enhancements or the deployment of a new service. In cases where acquisition, growth or restructuring and consolidation has taken place, not knowing the details of the estate can stop a project moving forward.
A Network Audit documents your network assets, providing a detailed inventory and topology map so that you can understand and develop your network. You will get the following information by device, location and site:
- Device description – part codes, name and primary IP address
- Device modules – part codes of modules (memory installed)
- Device location - site address, building and floor level location
- Device software - feature and version
- Device serial numbers
- Device topology - diagrams showing interconnected network devices
- Device status - critical errors, EOL status, or any other serious issue
- Device configuration - electronic backup of active configurations
- Comment on any environmental concerns - rack space, power, air con
Our detailed audits free up your resources and our multi-vendor experience allows us to understand any device status issue. We’ll provide you with a timescale for the audit, based on number of users, and will minimise the disruption to your business.
