Network Auditing with Documentation

A manageable network infrastructure is one that is fully documented, labelled, understandable and tidy.

In most cases, existing network infrastructures have grown at an accelerated rate with little consideration to future manageability, so that the present network systems have very few of the vital criteria listed above.

Trusol Ltd strives to ensure that all new network infrastructure installations are clearly and accurately labelled and fully documented as per industry standards. We also specialise in improving unmanageable network environments by providing a full audit on existing network infrastructures which incorporates testing, re-labelling and re-patching cabinets.

As a result, a full connectivity schedule is produced for switch and voice port allocation within Equipment or Telecommunications Rooms, along with a well re-patched system.

Trusol Ltd also works closely with schools to ensure a strict Change Control Process (CCP) is in place for them to maintain accurate documentation records and tidy cabinet patching.

In some cases, the netViz professional package is used to document the networks. This then allows easy and accurate changes to be made to patching schedules and floor port allocations.

The content of this documentation may be viewed by anyone with the respective account details through a web browser facility, but it can only be modified by authorised network personnel. It may also be updated remotely by Trusol Ltd on a weekly, monthly or quarterly maintenance contract basis.

All current vendor products are listed within the netViz catalogue, providing the opportunity to replicate exact network designs into the documentation package.

The format of the netViz documentation enables the end user to clearly identify all aspects of their network visually through the formation of the document.

Carefully structured layers proved concise but un-cluttered visual information.

By selecting additional project areas, floor plans and comms room layouts can be viewed and modified where necessary.

Detail such as connectivity and patching is easily embedded into the netViz documentation package via existing database or spreadsheet formats

Trace ability of full network connectivity is provided via the software previewer.
