Challenge:

In addition to providing Managed IT services ITH Pharma, were facing significant challenges with their network infrastructure which made management complicated.

The infrastructure they previously had in place was disorganised with poor cable management due to poor patch management and installation over the years. They needed a solution that streamlined their infrastructure so it could operate more efficiently as in its previous state, it posed a risk to their operations; a simple accident, like someone tripping over cables, could potentially disrupt the entire network.

Their network infrastructure also lacked (do we mean lagged?) which meant it was challenging to manage and thus made it more complicated to support the network effectively. Without a clear understanding of the existing infrastructure, any attempts to make changes or improvements were risky, potentially causing network-wide disruptions.

Solution:

razorblue stepped in to systematically address ITH Pharma’s network issues and find a more streamlined solution. The initial focus was on tidying and organising the network infrastructure. The team restructured the setup by moving servers and switches into new designated cabinets, reducing clutter, and enhancing the network’s resilience. This reorganisation was crucial as it streamlined troubleshooting processes, allowing for quicker identification and resolution of issues, consequently minimising downtime.

Moreover, razorblue replaced outdated and underperforming equipment with enterprise-grade solutions. This upgrade significantly bolstered the network’s performance and reliability, ensuring smoother operations for ITH Pharma’s critical pharmaceutical services.

Central to the solution was the creation of detailed documentation. razorblue meticulously traced and documented the network layout, generating comprehensive diagrams and plans. This documentation became the backbone for future support and improvements, providing a clear roadmap for managing the network effectively. By ensuring all cables were properly mapped and devices systematically placed, the team mitigated the risk of accidental disruptions and enabled more straightforward future modifications.

Testing was also a critical part of the process. The team rigorously evaluated various devices, including laptops, desktops, and tablets, across various locations within the building. This meticulous testing ensured robust connections and optimal performance, guaranteeing a reliable network across ITH Pharma’s operations on a range of devices in various locations.
