Network Assessment
A network assessment is a systematic evaluation of an IT infrastructure to ensure it is well-equipped to deliver the core operational needs of the business. It exposes possible performance bottlenecks, liabilities, identifies areas for improvement in your infrastructure, and defines the scope for improvement.
A network assessment often starts with the realization that your organization’s IT systems have grown to the point where you’re not sure what all is occurring everywhere on the network. Or, certain components of your IT systems have started to work slow, failing or giving you trouble.
You might have a general idea about what may be causing the problems but unable to verify it without a thorough analysis of all network vulnerabilities and components.
Additionally, you may not want to procure a major new infrastructure without first understanding the current situation of your network infrastructure. To do so, reach out to a qualified managed IT services provider.
Performing the network assessment
- Network inventory, analysis, and network diagram.
- Network performance assessment
- Security assessment
- The post-assessment reports and recommendations
Once the network assessment is done, the data that has been gathered need to be assessed. Based on that post-assessment reports would have to be made; these reports would have recommendations, like, for example recommending the replacement of some obsolete devices or some other changes.
