Network Design and Implementation
Designed on the Fly? Typical networks have been developed on an as-needed basis. First printer sharing, then a file server, then a remote access server, adding some new runs of cable or a new hub when the numbers demanded. Maybe a different employee or consultant ran each new project. New parts worked with older parts—sort of. But how can you trust your network to this piecemeal approach?

No two enterprises have identical network needs. So Graphtech's network designers work hard to identify your communications system network requirements. We help you figure out what you need today, but also what your future means to the network. Only after your objectives are clear do we start designing your customized solution, including:

	•	Data & voice wiring
	•	Wireless solutions
	•	Remote access & VPN
	•	Internet access
	•	Firewalls and security
	•	Servers and backups

Disaster Recovery and Security Planning
Security Threats from Outside? Is someone hacking into your network? Would you even know? A hacker may be a vandal interested in criminal mischief or a competitor looking for an illegal advantage. All these risks must be assessed, especially since e-commerce has opened up our networks over the Internet.

Threats from Inside? Statistics show that half of all network intrusions come from the inside—behind the firewall designed to protect you from hackers. These may be “trial hacks” by disgruntled employees or the honest mistakes of a user with the wrong security profile. Regardless of intent, the damage can be real.

Technology fails at times. Most businesses today realize the important role technology plays in their daily activities. Many also understand the extreme impact that an unplanned technology outage can have. Incredibly, relatively few have developed plans to quickly recover from a technology-robbing disaster. Instead of reacting in the hazy hours following an actual disaster, Graphtech helps you plan the recovery process with an orderly, well-documented assessment.
