IT Infrastructure Modernization
The kingdom is living a phenomenal information technology adoption in every business scale and verticals, government is taking the lead in many digital transformation initiatives and pollicises.
Business of all sizes, industries and geographies are up against big challenges in their infrastructure, workplaces, and business processes.
Businesses need to commit to a well-thought-out IT modernization plan to align IT systems with the way work is conducted across locations, timeframes, roles, applications, and devices. Without a modernized methods that accounts for new approaches to infrastructure, workplaces and business processes in a highly competitive and challenging business environment, enterprises will struggle to achieve their desired efficiencies and outcomes.
Therefore, the only way to successfully compete in this new environment, stay ahead of or quickly respond to this digital disruption, and ensure your organization will be able to take advantage of up-and-coming technologies such as artificial intelligence, the internet of things (IoT), and others in the future is by modernizing your organization’s IT infrastructure.
Network infrastructure modernization
Modern applications and devices are dealing with rich contents (audio, video, high resolution images, presentations, real-time business transactions, live streaming, webinars, and online meetings across organization network, private & public clouds, and the internet.
Such network traffic is sensitive to network congestion, latency, and bottlenecks.
POINTEC will help your business to get the most from network infrastructure modernization investments in the following key areas:
Network cabling (Passive)
Consider the latest high-performance category Cat6A or higher which can support 10Gigabit/second speeds and OM5 or higher wideband multimode fiberoptics which meet the rising bandwidth demands of data centers.
Network switches
Access switches are essential part of network infrastructure where all end devices are connected, it’s been 20 years since 1Gbps port speed switches introduced commercially in the market; its about time to invest in upgrading your switches and unleash data flow across end devices via 2.5GB+ ports and up to the data center via 10GB uplinks
Core switches/Distribution
Core or distribution switches are the beating heart for modern network which is orchestrating traffic securely between data center network components like servers, firewalls, storage, access switches, and private cloud.
We give core switches a close attention when considering network infrastructure modernization; core switch shouldn’t perform at peak capacity most of the time and if this is the case a through assessment should be performed using network monitoring tools to help making the right decision.
Managed Wireless network
Most organizations have some iteration of the 802.11 wireless standard. But these networks could be five years old (or more), which is ancient in the context of rapidly changing technology. Organizations need to consider moving to Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 6E (Extended), and Wi-Fi 7 soon after that.
Because each new wireless technology offers greater throughput and connectivity for end-user mobile devices, internet of things (IoT) devices, and latency-sensitive applications, it’s critical that you assure that your network infrastructure is upgraded to accommodate these future wireless network capabilities.
Our team will help you evaluate your existing WIFI technology and recommend an upgrade option that match your needs, budget, and future growth.
Data Center Modernization
If you still relaying on your on-prem data center for warehousing your mission critical hardware and software, it should operate and serve your business efficiently.
At POINTEC we will help you keep your data center on shape by keeping an eye on the following elements:
Wiring closets
Make sure all cables will organize, easy to trace, and running on cable trays, or cable management fixtures and away from electromagnetic fields and high noise. Cables should be labeled properly from both ends.
Moisture detection system
Make sure to have a moisture detection system attached data center to proactively take action to avoid any water leakage to flood.
Access control
Data center access should be verry restricted, CCTV monitored, and locked all the time; unauthorized access could lead to a data compromisation.
Uninterruptable Power Supply “UPS"
Make sure all mission critical HW are connected to a UPS source all the time.
Our experienced engineer will test your UPS for the flowing:
- Adequate backup time to shutdown systems gracefully if alternative power source didn’t kick in.
- Notification sent properly to IT personnel in case of critical events
Cooling & Humidity:
Servers HW, Appliances, and all communication equipment’s are very sensitive to high temperature.
We will make sure all cooling systems and humidity control systems are functioning efficiently and critical spare parts and component are available for immediate delivery from vendor.
Data center Documentation:
We offer documentation service for data center connectivity and all equipment wiring labels and high-level diagrams to facilitate trouble shooting, maintenance, hands over, and compliance.
Data center relocation:
If you must move your data center within your building or to a new premises, we will take care of this complex mission by:
Drafting a detailed project plans to address all detailed aspect of the mission.
Update or create a new documentation for every part within your data center
Coordinate with your team, contractors, and new premises team.
Data Center Monitoring IOT:
POINTEC will help you keep an eye on your datacenter 24×7 using state of the art IOT monitoring appliance that using smart sensors for entry, exit, temperature, humidity, water detection, and power interruption. The system will take predefined actions, notifications, and alerts to protect your data center.
