How to Optimize Your Business Network for Peak Performance
Is poor network performance dragging down your business? Between slow internet speeds, frequent outages, latency issues and WiFi dead zones – poorly optimized networks create major impediments.
According to SolarWinds, just a 1 second delay in network response time costs companies over $100,000 a year in lost productivity. Downtime costs from network failures average $300,000 per hour across organizations.
Yet companies often neglect their network infrastructure, relying on outdated equipment and disjointed configurations that can’t handle modern demands. The results are painfully slow connections, lost access, and interrupted services that frustrate employees and customers alike.
The good news? Optimizing your network performance doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. By upgrading key components, implementing new technologies, and proactively monitoring, you can dramatically enhance speed, reliability and efficiency.
Read on to learn key steps for optimizing your network for seamless performance. Or contact us to discuss expert managed IT solutions tailored for your business.
Upgrade Outdated Network Hardware
One source of poor network performance is aging routers, switches, firewalls, and WiFi access points. Network infrastructure over 5 years old lacks the capacity and capabilities to handle modern traffic demands and network usage patterns.
Upgrading legacy network hardware to newer models provides substantial benefits including:
- Faster wireless speeds and wired throughput
- Higher port density for connectivity
- Improved security features like IPS/IDS
- Increased reliability and stability
- Support for latest networking standards
- Lower latency for time-sensitive traffic
Implement SD-WAN
Software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) What is SD-WAN and why is it important? Key SD-WAN benefits include:
- Centrally manage network policies
- Intelligently route traffic
- Use any combination of transport links
- Improve application performance
- Reduce connectivity costs
With expert remote IT support, SD-WAN can be successfully implemented to optimize network connectivity across distributed enterprises.
Boost Your Network Performance
Optimizing your business network for top performance and efficiency involves:
- Upgrading aging network infrastructure
- Leveraging SD-WAN technology
- Strategic access point placement
- Network segmentation best practices
- 24/7 monitoring and proactive management
