Network Architecture

Well-designed network architectures are the key to achieving high performance at reasonable costs. Enterprise networks typically incorporate Wide Area Networking (WAN), Local Area Networking (LAN), and Data Center Networking. Each of these elements must be optimized, both as a component of the overall network architecture and as an independent provider of network services for its network domain. Noblis has experience and tools to integrate these elements to optimize the service, performance, and cost that the network architecture delivers. Our comprehensive approach to the design and assessment of network architectures addresses key issues in each network domain:
    Wide Area Networking
    Noblis can assist in answering questions such as: Is a dedicated, router-based network optimal? Should Frame Relay and/or ATM enable the transport? Which of the many forms of access (DSL, cable, SONET etc.) offer the right cost/performance characteristic?

    Metropolitan/Campus Networking
    Noblis can assist clients in assessing high-performance technologies such as Gigabit Ethernet and/or SONET rings, and in planning facilities infrastructures to meet their performance and reliability objectives.

    Local Area Networking
    Noblis can assist clients in assessing high-performance technologies such as fast/Gigabit Ethernet and in planning facilities infrastructures to meet their performance and reliability objectives.

    Data Center Networking
    Noblis can design storage area networks and server farm connectivity that optimize the enterprise's storage environment.
