Network Administration

Network Administration is the process of connecting hosts to form a network of computer systems and then maintaining that network for optimum network performance. Poised Solutions mainly deals in the TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) Suite of Networking.

Poised Solutions offers a variety of network administration services including Network Security. In the always on world network security has become an increasingly important element of network administration. System Hardening is also an important element of network devices as they may be deployed in high volume scenarios were downtime for maintenance is hard to schedule.

Poised Solutions can design and administer a number of network topologies, from simple LANs (Local Area Networks), to CANs (Campus Area Networks) and WANs (Wide Area Networks). Organizations can be sub divided into sub nets, and masquerading firewalls can be used to isolate nodes and subnet on the network.

Poised Solutions offers custom built routers, under the System Build service, OpenWrt is often used for embedded router and gateway systems. WiFi access points can also be configured and deployed to give maximum network versatility.

BSD UNIX was the system to first deploy (and develop) TCP/IP, as such modern networking and Unix Administration compliment each other. Poised Solutions is very familiar with the various Unix network tools used to configure routes and services. DNS and BIND, along with BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) and custom services such as Email Administration, Webserver Administration and Database Administration are also offered by Poised Solutions, and are improved by sound Network Administration.

Network Administration Benefits

Networks provide connectivity, and in the main the Net is one of the most important elements of modern day technology, being able to use computer systems of all variety over networks to exchange data and information, is one of the most powerful things that can be done with a computer system. Network Administration involves itself with keeping the lines of communication open, secure and managed.

Network Administration when it is working is very transparent, and that is a sign of a good network administrator, as the network is highly important to be just available. There is a lot though that goes on, and a lot of monitoring takes places to ensure that certain hosts are up, and that the network equipment is functioning as it should. There is a crossover between Network Administration and Cyber Security as the main vector of attacks nowadays is over the Internet, and of course a lot of security is also enabled by the existence of the Net and networks.

Network Design is important in many organisations, by designing the network to reflect an organisation natural forms of security and communication can be achieved, this is one of the more esoteric benefits of administration and you should not be discounted.
