Form Meets Function: Benefits of a Well-Designed Network

A transformation from a tangled mess of wires to an orderly, functional and serviceable cabinet best describes the solution our network engineers and installation team produced for this customer. The old data rack had been quickly installed and added to over the years with no particular organizational plan in place. This made it increasingly difficult for them to manage and maintain.

In preparation for the project, SOSH engineers met onsite with the customer to conduct a walk-through of all involved spaces. This onsite meeting also included a thorough review of objectives and expectations, and inspection of any owner-provided AV equipment to be reused in the new system.

Our team understands that downtime to your operation can pose a significant hardship. To ensure the customer did not experience any interruptions to their business, our team worked after hours. In addition to completely rewiring the data rack, all CAT-patch cables were replaced and rerouted one-by-one to allow progressive work and avoid disconnects. In addition, new patch cables were provided at the appropriate length to reduce clutter – making it easier to clean and maintain the rack.

Immediate and residual benefits to the customer and their business included:

• Improved Network Performance
• Increased Reliability
• Improved Scalability
• Maintenance Made Easy, and
• Enhanced Network Security

Improved Enhanced Network Security

Rewiring a network data rack can offer several benefits for a business. One of the main advantages is improved network performance. A well-wired data rack ensures that data flows more efficiently. In essence, a rewired data rack can increase the speed and responsiveness of your network.

Increased Reliability

Increased reliability is another benefit that comes from having your network data rack inspected and rewired. When all cables are properly labeled and connected during a data rack rewire project, the likelihood of a cable becoming loose or disconnected – and in turn, causing network outages – is significantly reduced. A properly wired rack can help ensure that the network is always up and running when needed.

Improved Scalability

In addition to improved network performance and increased reliability, improved scalability is another benefit of a well-organized and properly wired data rack. Having the ability to more easily scale the network to grow with your business is invaluable.  Adding new or upgrading existing components and reconfiguring the network to meet changing business needs all become easier when the data rack is already organized in a neat and orderly fashion. By keeping the network flexible and adaptable as the business evolves, you can focus on the aspects of your business that keep you agile and competitive in your field.

Maintenance Made Easy

Having the ability to identify and address issues in real time as they arise is an added benefit of a well-organized network rack. Troubleshooting becomes easier when cables are properly labeled and organized. Ultimately, being able to quickly and easily identify issues at the source will save you time and money and reduce the risk of extended network downtime.

Enhanced Network Security

Finally, a well-wired network data rack can improve network security. By ensuring that all cables and connections are properly secured and monitored, it reduces the likelihood of unauthorized access to the network. This can help reduce the risk of sensitive business information from being breached.
