	The first step in designing your network is taking a look at what you already have. ASD takes an inventory of the equipment, applications, and services in your current network system and evaluates their effectiveness. Then we determine the best technologies, products, and services to help you achieve your business objectives. The WAN/LAN components make up the backbone of your business’ network system. ASD offers design, implementation, and deployment of these components, as well as support services to back them up. Product features include asynchronous transfer mode, frame relay, multiprotocol label switching, border gateway protocol, and virtual local area network. Our professional designers determine the best products to make up this key piece of your network infrastructure. Having the best-designed network in the world won’t do your business any good if that network isn’t secure. That’s why we don’t just design your network; we make sure it’s safe. You can be assured that the right security products, from firewalls to an intrusion prevention system, are on the job, keeping critical information safe from internal and external computer breaches. Once your network is up and running, you can rely on ASD to manage your system. We have the remote tools and experienced people in place to monitor network problems before they become network outages, leading to costly downtime for your business and employees. In addition, outsourcing network management to ASD frees up your employees and enhances your in-house expertise. Whether it’s network probes or simple network management protocol (SNMP) management consoles, we tailor your management plan to your business. We also provide capacity planning, so in addition to making sure everything is running properly, you’ll be ready when it’s time to grow. Deploying a technology without evaluating the total cost of ownership can increase the business expense. The initial cost of the network hardware and software is only a small portion of the overall expense. Installation, configuration, and maintenance of your network all come into play. We review everything—from hardware to software to service and internal manhours—to ensure success, both technologically and financially. Where is all your bandwidth going? Let ASD find out. Using application network resource studies, we also find out if you have adequate bandwidth for your business, and determine if the applications are written well for your specific network. The goal is to reduce your costs while improving response time. As your company takes advantage of this growing technology, the reliability of the network becomes even more critical. VoIP, the ability to make telephone calls and send faxes over IP-based networks, offers several benefits to your business, including reductions in infrastructure, travel, and telephone costs. It also allows your employees greater mobility in the workplace. We provide routing and switching components, handsets, voice gateways, and voicemail systems to make this technology work for your business.
