• Do you think your network security is high enough to allow you to rest in peace?
• Are you sure that your corporate network bandwidth is already being used in a really economical and efficient way?
• Are you being annoyed by a decline in network performance caused by some undefined bottlenecks?
• Do you feel at a loss what to begin with while preparing a network performance analysis report for network upgrading?

Professionals + specialized skill + specialized devices + rich experience of good doctorsWafer network doctors can drive off your trouble with consummate skills! What is Network Audit?

Network Audit, abbreviated as NA, is analysis and evaluation of customers’ current network environment, such as loading capacity of major servers and bandwidth utility rate in the current network, and a professional consultation service to provide scientific data for customers to optimize and reconstruct their networks.

Network Audit is engaged exclusively in serving corporate IT managers. Through analysis of network status, NT gives customers a clear understanding of current network’s organization and running status, while providing IT managers with scientific data report and relevant optimization proposals in the aspects of optimizing current network resources and network maintenance, helping them determine future and near-term network investment direction, and co-drafting the comprehensive network optimization solution that can meet the demand of their corporate business development.

Wafer System Network Audit

Network Audit is one expert service item in the professional system of Wafer System that enjoys high popularity with customers. Network Audit also needs professional staff, specialized skills and specialized equipments, and of course cannot go without the abundant professional experience enjoyed by a good doctor.

Wafer System Network Audit is for senior network experts to collect network data with network analyzer and failure diagnose equipment, then arrange data collected with network administration software, and give an analysis report in the form of statistics data, diagrams, with Wafer System’s network audit experts making optimization proposals.

Network Audit is done in three stages:

Stage one: after thorough communication with customers’ network administrators, Wafer System’s engineers propose detailed network audit method and implementation rage targeting at customers’ network architecture.

Stage two: Collect network data regularly and analyze the results

Stage three: Give Wafer System’s proposals, involving network architecture adjustment, network equipment upgrading, router configuration improvement, and network management tools.

In this period, senior network audit experts will spend one week or more, collecting the following network-related data every day with specialized equipments and approaches and give relevant report.

• Protocol statistics, protocol distribution, resource utilization
• Application response time
• Higher-level dialog/audience/online communication
• Network equipment and server utilization
• Error statistics, data package’s errors and loading allocation status
• WAN and LAN statistics, peak loading, average loading
• Network architecture analysis

Wafer System’s NA service involves the following technologies:

• Network topology: Switching and shared Ethernet; fast Ethernet; Gigabit Ethernet; FDDI, ATM, token ring, POS
• LAN and WAN equipment: Switch, Hub and router of Cisco, Nortel, 3COM, IBM and HP
• Connection between WAN and router: Private line, dialing, frame relay, T1, E1 and X.25
• Protocol: All seven layers in OSI model

In detailed analysis, the following aspects are involved:

1.Provide network current status report

• Provide protocol analysis in the network, and determine applications’ proportions through analysis.
• Provide flow statistics within a certain period of time, and analyze precipitating network applications.

2. Provide network development tendency forecast

• With long-term observation and monitoring of the network, it is possible to make predictions on network utilization on a specific day, in a specific month or even during several months. This involves bandwidth utilization, line transmission quality, and the user occupying the maximum network bandwidth, to name a few.

Customer benefits

Customers can enjoy the following benefits in Wafer System’s network audit service:

1.Save corporate resources and focus on key services

• IT staffs can be relieved from tedious and tremendous amount of routine network maintenance, and focus on key aspects.
• ·Ensure reasonable utilization of vital resources, such as bandwidth

2. Enhance preventive measures and settle failures in time

• Find network bottleneck rapidly and get rid of network failures in time
• Provide effective preventive measures for customers’ network management, especially make it possible to take effective measures before network failures occur.

3. The data is scientific and accurate, ensuring long-term benefit

• As the Chinese saying goes: Health is what one has to ensure good work. A healthy network is the key to a well enterprise operating, ensuring profitability, and developing in a healthy way.
• Through information collected in NA service and the network analysis thus conducted, a detailed report will be generated, including determined failure area, detailed application report, diagrams, technologies, proposals, and determined intentions, for future reference.
