Service detail
Today’s volatile, technology-driven marketplace requires successful organisations to integrate IT deeply into every area of the business. Integration can play a key role in the way businesses innovate, and it can require a change in how you communicate, collaborate and conduct business. Network integration can give you the powerful applications and tools you need to help your organisation quickly implement new business initiatives that can increase your marketplace opportunities. But first, your network infrastructure must be able to support new technologies and applications and make those tools accessible to all users when and where they need them.
Your network may need upgrading. This often requires new network equipment and cabling that must be customised, configured and installed at multiple sites-in some cases, hundreds or thousands of sites. Such implementations can take months or even years to complete, causing major delays in responding to opportunities and introducing new business initiatives.
Network integration and deployment from IBM provides an end-to-end solution that assists you with the deployment of a reliable, standards-based network infrastructure. It is an ideal solution for complex network upgrades, refreshes, expansions, migrations and consolidations involving routers, switches, servers and other networking equipment. Network integration and deployment provides a single source for skilled planning, design, integration and implementation of the components necessary for a turnkey network solution:
- Physical network design or design validation
- Integration of multiple products and multiple vendors
- Integration with existing IT and networking infrastructure
- Logistics, ordering support and procurement
- Site preparation
- Cabling
- Configuration, installation and system testing
