Whether your organization is looking to install its
first computer network or has decided to completely
replace an obsolete or poorly functioning network, ESI
can provide the services you need to bring the new network
into production.
is the process
of assembling the correct components – servers,
workstations, printers, firewalls, printers, software,
telephone circuits, routers, switches, etc. – to
provide the optimal overall system for your specific
requirements.
Networks are like neighborhoods. Nice neighborhoods
are well planned and have strong zoning boards; ugly
ones have traffic congestion, commercial and residential
properties interspersed everywhere, and feel unorganized.
Without proper design,your network may feel like a
run-down neighborhood – there will be no consistency
in operations, performance will be erratic, reliability
will be poor, security will be minimal. In short, the
un-designed network will actually hinder productivity,
not help it.
Properly designed networks, however, run like clockwork.
Workstations operate consistently for all users, servers
perform well and are highly secure, printers print.
When something breaks, locating the problem is a logical
process and fixing it is easy.
of networks
can be done well or poorly.
ESI installs networks the right way. We provide vendor
oversight to ensure that the physical installation complies
with building codes and meets or exceeds IEEE specifications.
We follow labeling policies and prepare complete documentation
with diagrams depicting important physical characteristics
of our clients’ networks. Physical installation
also involves "fit and finish" issues. An
ESI network looks as good as it performs.

Network installation also involves software installation,
which you can’t touch or see after the fact. ESI
performs software installation pursuant to our own product-specific
written guidelines, developed using vendor- and industry-based
"best practices" and our own experience. Unless
there is a specific reason to deviate, ESI installs software
consistently within a client’s network and among
client networks. This quality and consistency lead to
fewer software-related problems and faster solutions when
they do occur.

means: "To bear the weight of, especially from
below." That’s what ESI does for its clients
– we bear the weight of keeping the network running
properly. If you don’t have the resources to provide
helpdesk support to your end users, we’ll bear
that weight for you. If you need help troubleshooting,
we’ll do that. If you need support after hours,
on weekends, or when your IT manager is on vacation,
we’ll do that, too. Whatever is weighing you down,
give to us!
We’ll do more than react to your support needs
– we’ll provide proactive support, too. We’ll
keep you apprised of issues to prevent problems down
the road, and we’ll give you easy-to-follow written
instructions for dealing with common problems.
What about the weight of information overload –
all the technical issues hitting your desk that demand
your time and attention? We’ll attend to the overload,
and take care of addressing the issues that really matter
to your network’s reliability, safety and performance.
