Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to popular questions about network solutions

Signs that your network infrastructure needs modernization may include: regular user complaints about slow application performance, frequent failures and disconnections, insufficient security levels, difficulties implementing new services, high maintenance costs for outdated equipment, and inability to scale to meet growing business needs. Another important signal is equipment age – if key network devices have been in operation for more than 5-7 years, they are likely obsolete and do not meet modern performance and security requirements.

Network infrastructure implementation timeframes depend on the project's scale and complexity. For a small office (up to 50 workstations), basic modernization can take 1-2 weeks. For medium-sized companies (50-200 users) with more complex infrastructure – 3-6 weeks. Large-scale projects for enterprises with geographically distributed structures can take from 2 to 6 months. It's important to note that implementation is usually conducted in phases, with minimal impact on current business processes. In most cases, major work is performed during non-business hours to minimize downtime.

Network infrastructure security is ensured through a comprehensive approach that includes several layers of protection. Next-generation firewalls (NGFW) are installed at the network perimeter to control all incoming and outgoing traffic, blocking potentially dangerous connections. Within the network, segmentation using VLANs and micro-segmentation are applied to limit threat propagation. Intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS) monitor traffic for anomalies and known attacks. VPN solutions with multi-factor authentication are used to protect remote access. Additionally, network access control (NAC) systems, DDoS attack protection, encryption of important traffic, and regular software updates for all network devices are implemented. An important part of ensuring security is also constant network monitoring and event log analysis.

The choice of equipment for a corporate network should be based on specific requirements and business characteristics. We recommend using solutions from proven manufacturers with good reputations in the corporate equipment market – Cisco, Juniper, HPE/Aruba, Fortinet, etc. For key infrastructure elements (core switches, edge routers), it's worth choosing enterprise-class devices with advanced management and security features and high reliability. For less critical network segments, mid-range solutions providing an optimal balance of price and performance may be suitable. Important factors when choosing are scalability (ability to increase capacity), support for modern protocols and technologies, availability of local technical support, and total cost of ownership. We help clients select the optimal set of equipment, considering both current needs and development prospects.

Yes, in many cases phased modernization of network infrastructure is possible without a one-time replacement of all equipment. We begin with a comprehensive audit of the existing network, identifying components that can continue to be used and elements requiring immediate replacement. Then a migration plan is developed, which usually provides for first modernizing critical network nodes (core, perimeter), and then gradually updating other components. With this approach, new equipment is integrated with existing equipment, ensuring compatibility during the transition period. This allows for distributing investments over time and minimizing business risks. However, it's worth considering that in some cases, especially with very outdated infrastructure or a radical change in technological approach, complete replacement may be a more effective solution in terms of total cost of ownership.

When designing modern network infrastructure, it's recommended to consider the following technologies and approaches:

1. Software-Defined Networks (SDN) – allow centralized network management through software controllers, increasing flexibility and simplifying administration.

2. SD-WAN – technology for optimizing global network management, enabling efficient use of available communication channels and reducing data transmission costs between branches.

3. Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) – the latest wireless network standard with increased speed, bandwidth, and efficiency in high client density conditions.

4. Network segmentation and micro-segmentation – a security approach that limits threat propagation within the network by dividing it into isolated segments.

5. Automation and orchestration – using tools for automatic deployment, configuration, and management of network devices (Ansible, Terraform, etc.).

6. Intent-based networking – networks managed based on business intentions, which are automatically translated into network policies and configurations.

7. Zero Trust Security – a security model based on the principle of "trust no one," requiring strict verification of each access regardless of location.

8. Cloud network services – integration with cloud platforms to create hybrid network infrastructures.

9. Multi-cloud connectivity – technologies to ensure effective interaction between different cloud environments.

10. Containerization and network technologies for microservices – solutions for building network infrastructure optimal for working with containers and microservice architecture.

It's important to note that the choice of specific technologies should be determined not by fashion trends, but by real business needs, existing constraints, and the company's long-term IT strategy.

Network Solutions as the Foundation of Business Digital Transformation

In the era of digital transformation, reliable and high-performance network infrastructure becomes a critically important element for any business's success.
