 The new range services covers both the physical and logical networking layers and will enable End Users to identify bottlenecks, avoid downtime, plan efficient implementation of new applications, and prioritise upgrades to match business objectives.
The services will provide managers with a baseline on which to make informed investment decisions.
Initially two new services have been launched under the LANmark brand:
- LANmark Physical Audit
- delivers a detailed report on the health of the physical infrastructure
- LANmark Logical Audit
- delivers a detailed report on the status of the 'logical' layers of the network (equivalent to Layers 2 & 3 of the OSI Model)
The audit is a four stage process covering planning & assessment, data capture, analysis, and reporting.
The final report will not only contain useful benchmark documentation such as inventory lists and cabinet layout diagrams, but depending on the level selected, will also include bandwidth and traffic analysis, packet loss and errors, and provide utilisation information. The results are presented as a management summary together with a detailed analysis breakdown and concludes with specific recommendations for improving the network performance.
The services have been launched in conjunction with C&C Technology, an existing Nexans partner who specialise in consultancy and network diagnostics. In combination with Nexans Certified System Installation partners (CSI's), this now enables Nexans to provide end users with a complete added value product and service package.
