Networking and Cabling
IT hardware, is only as good as the cabling and cable management structure supporting it. DevArt provides a wide array of standalone as well as integrated IaaS solutions tailored to specific client current aspirational needs affordably. We design and deploy affordable, custom
solutions that have helped many corporates reduce their overall infrastructure costs, enhance network security/unauthorized access restriction and round the clock availability. We develop robust networking and cabling infrastructure with flexibility to grow and change over an extended period of time by providing scalability and redundant capacity that can be leveraged as the business grows without necessitating investment in additional network infrastructure.
We design optimal and cost-effective redundancy which is critical in keeping networks safe during single cable failure in any link enabling the network to remain available and avoid downtime. This redundancy can also facilitates future network infrastructure scalability as application systems and networking traffic grow. We carefully select links to ensure that none of the links are being ‘backhauled’ together with the existing primary links.
Through our expertise as a vender neutral value added services provider, we have a good grasp of network design, stability of various regions and backhaul technology. We consequently build sufficient redundancy within our network and cabling design to limit costs of network installation but provide sufficient room for scalability. In deploying our redundant cabling system solutions, especially a mesh topology where several nodes connect to several other nodes, we pay attention to distance limitations for the given set of bandwidth and applications to ensure that the data transmission between each node remains reliable.
Our primary goal is to ensure the data can properly reroute to another node; therefore, it is imperative to choose the right type of cabling. We ensure that our redundant fiber cabling systems stay within optical insertion loss budgets to ensure proper data transmission. The length and number of mated connections within each channel all contribute to link loss, and higher speeds have more stringent loss requirements. Achieving full redundancy can require deploying longer cable lengths to make sure that every node connects to every other node. These longer cable lengths can be difficult to deploy and manage. Accordingly, we deploy shorter, more manageable cable lengths by incorporating distribution points or cross-connects via patch panels between nodes.
This, usually adds more mated connections and link loss within the channel. The use of specially qualified low-loss fiber connectors, however, helps support multiple mated connections for flexibility over a wide range of distances and configurations while remaining within the loss budget. We select appropriate cable managers and cabinet and patch-panel solutions that offer ample space to support the cabling while enabling easy access and proper cable management in high cable density installations.
System integrity and security sit at the core our network infrastructure services. The main goal is to keep the network secure from internal and external threats by installing and managing firewalls and other network access restrictions and protocols for preventing malicious traffic from reaching the business. We provide network monitoring solutions to spot and react to abnormal traffic and intrusions with optional around-the-clock monitoring to facilitate exception reporting of intrusions and other attacks to the network. We help organisations develop off system network policies and deploy these within networks to ensure system integrity. These include physical and logical system access controls, requiring multi-factor authentication (MFA), and other steps. Whereas the cost of cabling and networking may account for a small cost of the overall ICT costs, poor Network Management can have a direct impact on the operational costs of a business, if a network is running less efficiently, this could affect the life span of the devices, servers and storage connected. There is also the downtime to consider and how it affects overall productivity and morale of the users.
Network configurations are made up of servers, PC hardware, routers, cabling, switches and wireless access points. Malfunctioning or incorrect configuration of any of these component parts could result in problems such as slow internet connectivity, or worse still, compromise systems security. Our expert network engineers and network integrity monitoring solutions not only design but continuously review and monitor the performance of all network hardware using a simple red-amber-green traffic light system and feed this back to business owners at regular intervals. We install the full range of data wiring and network cabling solutions from the data centre to the desk. Our structured cabling solutions are deployed using fiber, Cat5e/Cat6/Cat6a/Cat7 twisted pair cabling and wireless networking options built on standard network typologies that will ensure reliability and stability.
Data cabling installation is done to the highest standards using high quality branded components and fully tested using Fluke cable analyzers. After all network systems and components are tested the requisite certification issued to support the quality assurance process. Our promise as an enterprise is that we will help your business design and deploy state of the art, robust structured networks with capacity, scalability and manageability customized to the business technology demands. We provide end to end project management services that give clients peace of mind enabling them to focus on core business as we do what we do best.
Server and Cloud Deployment
We provide a full range of server deployment services from physical site selection, sever sourcing and delivery, IP address, default gateway, patching the server into the LAN switch, configuration of appropriate firewall rules to allow required access to the server., Add 
server into monitoring and management platforms, OS installation, server configuration, SSH key generation among other core related services. We offer cloud computing solutions that enable data owners and users to store and access data and applications over the internet instead of computer hard drive. Unlike internal networks, that have hefty upfront costs, cloud computing services are quicker to deploy and are charged on a pay as you go basis. This allows for lower and more predictable operational expenses. Cloud based solutions leverage the enormous IT infrastructures of tech giants like Microsoft and Google to create bespoke solutions, allowing total flexibility to scale data capacity to business to demands. Most cloud computing data centers are subject to regular security audits performed to the highest standards and your data is backed up across multiple servers. All of the security benefits enjoyed by large enterprise companies can be had for an easy price.
The Cloud enables data access from any location at any time giving users unrestricted time and geographic locational access data making it very easy for workers in separate locations to collaborate. We are well versed with could business information, data and data security needs for a wide range of business enterprise setups as well as market data risks enabling us to design and deploy affordable packages for our clients.
