DIS offers a network design service that draws on the extensive experience within the company to provide innovative solutions across a wide range of scenarios. DIS realise that the skill sets required to produce market leading solutions, and fully understand the technologies being implemented, are expensive to maintain in-house and extremely difficult to find.
DIS's reputation in this arena is second to none and, as an organisation, we invest heavily in making sure our consultants remain at the top of their industry. By employing the DIS Design Services you are not only ensuring quality throughout the project lifecycle but also technical excellence.
DIS provides unbiased advice as to product placement and aim to provide clients with the best solution available on the market today. DIS are not tied to any vendor and therefore make impartial assessments of vendor technologies based on the extensive experience all of our consultants maintain.
DIS provides a phased and structured approach to all network design solutions:
Information Gathering - detailed investigations into the aims and objectives of the project, both from a technical and business perspective. Including detailed technical investigation into any current infrastructure (if applicable).
- High Level Design - production of high level designs to meet all client objectives and will be based on the information gathered in the previous stage. In the simplest of cases, this can be a single proven design structure or multiple designs with various technical, commercial, and logistical advantages and disadvantages for the more complicated scenarios. Designs include full technical commentary and jargon-free, business driven reasoning.
- Design Approval and Consolidation - The high level designs are submitted to the client for review, detailing all constraints, benefits and potential issues. Upon approval a project plan can be formulated and product selection can be made.
- Detailed Design - producing comprehensive design specifications and configurations for the successful implementation of the network infrastructure. This includes a work breakdown structure to look at complicated tasks and structuring this in a manageable format detailing the skill level required for each task and taking into account any operational constraints.
- Testing / Proof of concept - Upon agreement of the detailed design DIS can provide comprehensive testing facilities and testing plans to fully demonstrate the design solution prior to any implementation. Hence, this significantly reduces the risk to your organisation.
