Single Points of Failure Analysis

Client Need Summary:

Your business is designed like a highway, a network of information flowing in all directions. Data is being shared from application to application, and from site to site. An accident on your highway could result in information not being delivered, or even worse, there could be no power to drive the information. SItes could be isolated until repairs are made or replacement resources are purchased and installed. Identifying and eliminating any single points os failure need to be primary concerns for any successful corporation.

Approach:

A single points of failure analysis involves working closely with the facilities engineering staff and the network administration staff to:

• Identify the point(s) of penetration for public power service and determine if there is redundancy in the service.
• Identify the point(s) of penetration for public voice and data service and determine if there is redundancy in the service.
• Review the wide area network (WAN) design to determine if there are any self-healing contingencies built in.
• Review the internal local area network (LAN) design to identify points of potential bottlenecks.
