After upgrading this clients infrastructure in 2006, CN proposed a solution to improve productivity and to better utlise infrastructure. Through discussions with our client, we considered the possibilities of incorporating a hosted solution opposed to in-house infrastructure, and underwent an analysis on the merit of each solution. This analysis uncovered that in this instance, in-house infrastructure offered the most cost-effective outcome. As a result, CN implemented new server infrastructure that provided increased processing power along with improved stability. In addition to this, productivity improvements are realised through the introduction of a Terminal Server that enables remote and faster access to their CRM application and network drives by interstate users. Cost savings are also achieved through the integration of two existing ADSL connections providing internet and voice capabilities, into one high-speed ADSL2+ connection. Recognising the importance of system uptime and data protection, our client also opted to introduce, on our recommendation, a disaster recovery system that will enable operations to be restored in a finite amount of time, in the event of a system failure. This national Registered Training Organisation is continuing to maintain their infrastructure through regular systems maintenance performed by Computer Networks.

Boutique property developer and a long-standing CN client were relocating premises and saw the perfect opportunity to update their existing phone system. CN proposed a Cisco UC500 that offers an affordable voice, data, voicemail, Automated Attendant, video, security, and wireless capable phone system that would tick all the boxes. Although there is no requirement for Voice over IP (VOIP) at this time, there is the capability should the client’s needs change in the future.

One of CN’s longest standing clients; an organisation committed to the improvement of Aboriginal health, had experienced a great deal of growth in recent times, and as such required a reevaluation of their IT infrastructure. As a result of this evaluation, CN provided and project managed a HP ProLiant ML370 server solution with the new Windows Server 2008 operating system. This solution focuses on future expansion and offers considerable processing power and storage capacity. Additionally, in order to maximise the stability of the new infrastructure, a new power management backend was implemented. This offers continuous regulation of power and orderly shutdown and start-up in the event of a prolonged power interruption.
A successful international architectural firm was facing rapid expansion in its Sydney operations and the current systems in place were struggling to fulfill performance and capacity requirements for countless CAD drawings and other related applications. Another challenge facing this organisation was the amount of data needing to be archived and backed up. In response to this, CN implemented a HP server solution that offers increased performance coupled with a StorageWorks direct attached storage device to meet their growing storage and archiving needs. To ensure a secure and scalable backup solution, CN implemented a robust tape library environment that can accommodate the company’s continuing growth whilst protecting their data from human error or security compromises. Since October 2004, CN has continued to provide weekly systems maintenance to this valued client.
One of Australia's top home builders and a valued client since 2002, needed to upgrade their line of business applications. As part of this process, it was a requirement that their existing server operating system be updated and existing hardware be replaced as it was out of warranty and posed a considerable vulnerability should a hardware failure occur. CN implemented a new server solution running Windows Server 2003 and assisted third party vendors in the migration of data and installation of applications.

Computer Networks renews Microsoft Gold Certified Partner status.
A world leading dermatology player needed to align the IT objectives for their Australian operations with the direction and strategy of their international headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. Our solution focused on server performance. As such, we replaced two existing file and application servers with two HP DL380 series servers with considerable storage capacity that has future expansion in mind. The HP server solution also offers a complete remote management system allowing a full “in-front-of-the-server” remote management experience. Business continuity was strengthened through the implementation of a disaster recovery plan that includes continual point-in-time images being taken, that can be independently restored should a failure occur. Nightly backups ensure complete data protection.
CN was engaged by the internal IT department of a prominent Sydney grammar school to undertake an independent audit of the entire IT operations to confirm the accuracy of the current IT Documentation and to provide an external opinion on the configuration and security of the current network. Confirmation that their data and infrastructure is protected and configured in a way that meets both industry and security best practice standards were a key deliverable. CN underwent this project, delivered the client with an accurate snapshot of their infrastructure, and provided recommendations moving forward.

For a chartered accountancy who places importance on system uptime and data availability due to compliance reasons, CN recommended implementing a disaster recovery solution that protects the organisation in the event of a disaster. This was achieved through using a leading technology that captures an entire snapshot image of the servers, up to every 15 minutes, and has the flexibility to recover that image to different hardware and a virtual server environment in the event of a disaster. The use of this technology reduces the loss of data, productivity, and system downtime and provides a second form of backup and recovery so there is no single point of failure.
A distributor of entertainment products required their Small Business Server to be replaced as it was out of warranty and posed a considerable risk should the organisation experience hardware failure. As our client expressed that they would at times benefit from staff being able to access their applications and data externally, CN proposed reinstating the existing server as a Terminal Server which would offer a considerable cost saving and achieve their objectives. Our client is very pleased with the results and continues management of their IT infrastructure by Computer Networks.

CN have maintained the IT needs for this facility devoted to the care of the aged community for a number of years. As part of the organisations commitment to providing exceptional services, they decided to implement and iCare solution that gives care staff the means to facilitate better care management practices. CN supplied and installed server infrastructure that would meet the needs of the application and liaised with the vendor to ensure that the transition was a smooth as possible for our client.

A residential college affiliated with Macquarie University was looking to enhance the reporting, flexibility, and scalability of the college’s infrastructure. Our solution consisted of more efficient and effective management of physical hardware through virtualisation. A multi-tiered security approach including internet & network security devices at the gateway, along with leading endpoint software. An automated backup library & imaging software was also implemented to ensure a wholistic approach to data protection so there is no single point of failure. Ongoing maintenance and real-time monitoring of key business systems ensures the college’s infrastructure is maintained and supported.
