D-Link’s Network Assessment Services provide the basis for making executive and technical decisions about your network at key junctures such as mergers and acquisitions or when facing reliability issues.
In order to provide the operational, tactical and strategic guidance uniquely dictated by your business requirements and current networking capabilities, we use the following methodology:
|
Interview and Scope.
D-Link begins by interviewing IT and business managers to document business and user requirements.
|
Observe, Map and Measure.
Our team applies its deep experience in all aspects of multivendor network environments and operations to take inventory, map topology, measure and document performance and functionality, and analyze key problem indicators.
|
Deliver.
The deliverables scoped in the initial interview process result in a unique SONAR (State of Network Audit and Assessment Report) designed to identify gaps between your network design and operational capabilities versus your user/business requirements. The fundamental takeaway is our recommendation for closing the gaps.

D-Link’s networking experts have years of experience optimizing D-Link equipment and multi-vendor environments, uniquely qualifying them to install our D-Link
networking solutions.
The scope of services can range from installation of a single switch to complex network designs and deployment including product specification, preplanning, racking, connection, configuration, verifi cation of functionality, documentation, and training.
|
Network Design and Plan.
If you need assistance in designing or redesigning the network, D-Link’s network experts can be retained to perform a needs analysis and make a detailed design recommendation.
|
Installation and Product configuration.
Our experienced specialists ensure firmware and software purchased is up to date and configure all D-Link system parameters required to provide the features and functionality agreed to in our Statement of Work, which can include:

D-Link’s Network Security Audit is the usual starting point for D-Link’s Security services, which work to guarantee the security of your network resources and your organization’s information. Our security experts stay current on the damaging exploits that can threaten businesses as they become ever more dependent on network infrastructure.
Based on advanced interview and network observation techniques, D-Link defines potential vulnerabilities and applies the most effective of D-Link’s security appliances and techniques to plug the gap. For example, by leveraging our E2ES (End-to-End Security) console, we can specify a solution that gives you unified control of our ICSA certified firewall and security solution to tap the protection built into our remote, wireless, wired, distribution, and core layer components. D-Link specialists provide a range of security services to satisfy your needs, including:
|
Security Audit.
After review of architecture, policy, access controls, configuration, connectivity, physical data center, and security goals, D-Link summarizes current security risks and recommends solutions.
|
Security Policy Creation.
The result defines information-handling strategy and regulates information access, auditing and control practices, and intrusion discovery.
|
Security Awareness Training.
People are often the weakest security link, and to close that gap D-Link provides a range of training options, ideally while D-Link implements a security policy.
|
Penetration Testing.
D-Link experts will attempt to penetrate the information infrastructure using current, realistic hacking techniques. This testing is done in close cooperation to minimize risk during the penetration effort.
|
End-to-End Security Implementations.
D-Link will help you take advantage of the cooperating security features built into D-Link equipment and coordinate secure firewall, security appliance, and VPN implementations.
|
Security Breach Assistance.
In the event of a security breach, D-Link can consult onsite to assist in restoring your information infrastructure to a stable, operational state and make recommendations for preventing a repeat.

|
D-Link’s Wireless Site Survey is the starting point for a successful wireless LAN upgrade or initial implementation.
|
Wireless Site Survey.
D-Link’s wireless network expertise results in an accurate survey and documentation of the RF (Radio Frequency) characteristics of your facilities.
|
Specification and Implementation Plan.
An interview process takes it the next step to an equipment specification, site placement and configuration plan that optimizes coverage and can handle the wireless bandwidth, application and security demands of your business now and in the future.
|
Implementation and Configuration.
D-Link can help implement the plan with installation assistance and configuration.
