Network Architecture and Design
We take a holistic view of Network Architecture and design, believing the structure of an existing network should only be changed after careful consideration of all possible consequences.
In our work history, Prophecy Networks staff have held responsibility for all aspects of the design of large scale, telecommunications mobile and data networks. We have completed nationwide roll-out of high speed, wide area and metro area networks using the latest wire-speed routing and switching technologies and have provided the design and technical expertise to complete aggressive deployments on time and on budget.
We also have a track record of customer driven security audits, network design and redesign projects. While we have experience working with the largest networks in New Zealand, we can also work effectively within small, medium and large enterprise environments.
Design Skills
We offer a wide range of skills, focusing in the areas of design, implementation and support of Networks from Carrier to SOHO. These include:
Troubleshooting
We have years of experience with network operating systems and can deliver turn-key solutions to suit the individual needs of our customers. This includes:
We have deployed solutions for enterprises of 600+ desktops including e-learning sites, VPN access for roaming and home working staff, security maintenance, intrusion detection systems, auditing trails and logging systems.
Network Design and Test Services
We're familiar with the emerging technologies of converged networks such as VoIP/TDMoIP and Multimedia Services such as Video Conferencing and we know how these types of technologies can alter the dynamics of a network, including how to minimize the associated risks. Prophecy Networks staff have experience with a wide range of network technologies from carrier wireless network deployments to international IP/VPN network design.
Our staff have extensive experience of testing designs, solutions, deployment specifications and procedures. We understand that networks are developed to facilitate the delivery of services and products to customers. A carefully designed and implemented network will deliver and work efficiently with the minimum of intervention. Our designs are architected to provide a solution which will scale without loss of service.
Security Services
Prophecy provides a range of security services including overview and in-depth audits, and managed security services. We can deliver any audit your business requires.
Overview Audit
This audit will provide a high level overview of your network and identify potential areas of risk. This audit identifies the issues and problem areas and infoms your staff of the remedies available.
In Depth Audit
This will provide a thorough and detailed security audit customised to your network and needs. The audit includes areas such as Disaster Recovery, Physical Security, HR Procedures, technology choices and virus protection. After time spent on site investigating your network and interviewing your staff, we will provide a detailed report and presentation identifying strengths and weaknesses of your network and alerting you to any issues that need to be addressed. Our report will help your organisation address any issues and will include suggested timeframes and milestones. In addition, Prophecy Networks can project manage the completion of these tasks, if required.
Our In Depth Audits cover the 10 Major Sections described in ISO (International Security Standard) 17799 listed below. The report will summarise each area according to the needs of your business and will include recommendations and actions that need to be addressed:
Managed Security Services
Prophecy Networks can provide ongoing system maintenance and monitoring on a contract basis. This will allow your organisation to reduce the overhead of maintaining your network servers and can free up your network employees to focus on providing services to other staff, customers and core business.
