Current State Assessment

Numerous changes occur over the lifetime of an organizations physical layer infrastructure. From the expansion of equipment rooms & data centers to the addition of new floors, the information transport systems supporting the ever changing network landscape are taxed to meet the demands of new technologies.

Understanding how this infrastructure interconnects from the telecommunications entrance facilities through the backbone into the various equipment rooms and out to the vast number of users in the enterprise environment is critical.

Having detailed information readily accessible enables the IT personnel to pinpoint issues & act quickly during network outages thus enabling them to comply with SLA requirements. Publicly traded companies also gain from this exercise by being compliant with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 also known as the Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act of 2002 and commonly called SOX.
