Borderless Network - Network Infrastructure, Wireless, & Security
Organizations rely on their IP network to support employee productivity in a secure manner regardless of location or time. By connecting people, information, and devices securely, reliably, and seamlessly, Katalyst Network Group's Borderless Network strategy allows you to mitigate risk to protect assets, attain operational excellence as well as achieve growth through productivity.
We understand customers want proven networking solutions that are scalable, reliable, and secure, and that can be customized to their specific requirements. Our core network solutions meet the challenges of today's business environment by providing customizable, robust products and services designed specifically to build a solid network foundation.
By combining years of experience with advanced technology solutions, we build reliable industry standard networks, increasing network performance and ensuring security while simplifying a customer's infrastructure.
Routing & Switching
Borderless networking is the foundation on which all secure network technologies are built – from core infrastructure to wireless edge. To achieve a sound network foundation, Katalyst Network Group follows a standard methodology of planning, designing, implementing, operating and optimizing. This standard methodology is used throughout all projects to ensure best practices are followed, baselines are known and success is guaranteed.
Katalyst retains the very best expertise that can optimize the advanced capabilities of Cisco routers and switches, to provide added levels of security, simplify ongoing operations, and improved network and application services. Many of the inherent features and functionality in today's routing and switching environments are not enabled or configured for the best performance or security in a customer's environment.
Katalyst provides organizations with the right network infrastructure design and implementation needed to effectively and securely connect networks, while laying the foundation to deliver voice, video, and data across a cohesive system.
Wireless
Wireless networks are no longer the realm of the privileged few. Technology trends show increases in the number of companies that depend on wireless networks for mission critical applications. Katalyst Network Group recognizes the importance of a stable and secure wireless network and has years of experience designing, implementing and maintaining wireless networks for all types of needs.
Whether wireless is used for data, voice, location tracking, or all of the above, Katalyst Network Group can be your partner in developing a comprehensive and fully secured wireless network
With the proliferation of wireless networks throughout companies and organizations, the challenge of providing end users the freedom and mobility they need to do their job while maintaining a secure environment proves more and more challenging. Katalyst has the wireless expertise that ensures the integrity of our customer's information and systems.
To ensure the optimal wireless coverage and peak performance of a new wireless network, Katalyst provides comprehensive site surveys that include the discovery of potential radio frequency problem areas, and determine the appropriate wireless solution to address the problems and needs of the facility. The Katalyst site survey enables new wireless network solutions to be planned, deployed and implemented in a more efficient and profitable fashion.
These high performance wireless networks designed and deployed by Katalyst offer features such as Secure Guest Internet Access and state-of-the-art security features including Wireless device NAC, IDS, and 802.1x authentication.
Katalyst offers Location Based Wireless solutions built upon a Cisco Unified Wireless Network that allow businesses to both monitor and optimize their internal processes, and instantly locate unauthorized wireless devices. With location based wireless solutions from Katalyst, thousands of Wi-Fi devices and active RFID tags can be tracked simultaneously to within a few meters from inside the WLAN infrastructure.
Security
It is critical today that organizations implement comprehensive and integrated security solutions, as independently operating security components are becoming less effective against more intelligent attacks and malware.
Katalyst provides a number of risk-based information security audits and assessments ranging from firewall configuration assurance to regulatory compliance gap analysis. Each assessment is customized to address each organization’s specific requirements. Katalyst consultants identify vulnerabilities, assess threats to information systems, and provide recommended solutions for mitigating risk and improving security infrastructure.
When employed, the threat control solutions enhance general security and give network operators more power to investigate and halt advanced threats. Katalyst’s Network Security solutions protect servers, applications, and other critical assets from network and application attacks and worms; at the edge, branch, data center, and throughout the LAN.
With today’s changing security landscape, multiple security devices working independently are no longer sufficient. Businesses looking for complete security need a more comprehensive and integrated security solution, like Network Admission Control (NAC) developed by Cisco.
NAC allows organizations to ensure policy compliance, minimize internal and external threats, secure their information and assets, and reduce exploitation of vulnerable networks. By implementing NAC, organizations cut significant spending on reactive threat control and realize a quantifiable return on investment.
Katalyst also offers granular security management platforms that provide valuable tools that enable:
- Rapid threat mitigation
- Policy consistency
- Better control and access to security information
- Accounting and tracking of user network access and authorization.
