Why Choose Our Cloud Hosting Services

You don’t have to spend on servers to have a network and store your essential data. You can seek reliable hosting services and purchase the needed storage space suitable for your business.

Network Design Solutions

What We Consider When Designing a Network

While designing a computer network for either 2 or 400 people, it is essential to check the desires and needs of those who will use it. Their budget should be your top priority because they will be responsible for its maintenance. Some of the vital things that don’t escape the eyes of experts in MTT Connect include: 

• Balancing desires to access information easily with security issues
• Standardizing software and hardware to keep maintenance costs at a minimum
• Creating redundancies for possible breakdowns

Our goal is to design the perfect network suitable for your business. Here are the things we consider when designing a network.

Connectivity and Security

Network connectivity in this era means more than wireless access points and Ethernet cables. Today, more people are connected to networks despite their location. They can access company data or email away from the office. That has allowed most people to work effectively while traveling for leisure or business trips.

We know every business owner wants to enjoy the advantages offered by these networks. However, we protect their interests by boosting the network’s security. We address the security issue in detail during the design phase. Our design ensures data stored in the clouds or in-house are easily accessible while securing access servers using firewalls without slowing down operations.

Backing Up and Redundancy

We are aware that some business owners aren’t interested in hosting services. They would prefer buying their servers, irrespective of the expensive installation and maintenance costs. Companies that host their servers aren’t immune to issues likely to result in network failure. So, we advise such clients to invest in at least two identical servers.

When one server develops malfunctions or requires maintenance, the spare one will immediately take over. When you have such redundant components, your network won’t remain down for more than an hour. We will also be ready to provide our expertise at such times.

Standardization of Software and Hardware

Standardizing the software and hardware is necessary for the network to operate smoothly. It also minimizes the cost of repairs, updates, and maintenance. At MTT Connect, we always audit the current computer peripherals, software, and systems to establish which of these components needs standardization.

While standardizing these components, we give special consideration to the Director or CEO as they have the authority to perform more tasks and access sensitive information. Suppose 90% of workers use similar notebooks, email and word processing programs. In that case, we can conduct a less expensive hardware and software patch across the company than if they used different computer models with different software.

Disaster Recovery Plan

We include a disaster recovery plan in every network design. That includes step-by-step procedures to be followed after a server crashes and provisions for power backup in case of an outage. Our recovery plan also consists of how data is backed up, where it is backed up, and where the copies are stored.

Our comprehensive disaster recovery plan consists of metropolitan-wide disasters, building disasters, and office disasters. We always conduct weekly backups and store the files in a secure location off-site. That ensures the data remains safe even after building disasters such as fire. 

Systems and storage Implementation

4 Pitfalls We Avoid in Implementing Storage Systems

Businesses in the modern world rely on systems for smooth operations. It is vital to rely on professional assistance to set up such systems in order to secure your enterprise’s efficiency, productivity, and profitability. Business storage systems have potential pitfalls and risks. Switching suppliers, changing backup and recovery processes, or upgrading hardware can result in failure, data loss, or disruption of the production system. Despite these risks, there is a need to invest in reliable data storage systems.

MTT Connect embraces a holistic approach in designing storage systems for each business. We take time to understand your business to formulate and implement a system that enhances efficiency and proficiency in its operations. While doing this task, we strive to avoid the following deployment pitfalls as much as possible.

Storage Silos

We work in silos and don’t view that as offering a service but as providing the necessary infrastructure. At MTT Connect, we have our KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) that differ from the KPIs of the company or customer. The pitfall in this case is a mistake most business owners make by buying storage on a per-project basis, creating unwanted legacy and silos.

To avoid such cases, we begin insulating our client’s storage decisions from their application decisions. We also direct the storage teams to abandon their silos and think along the line of their business or like service providers.

Not Addressing Storage Costs and Resource Utilization

Most organizations barely use half of their storage facility, causing them to pay extra for unwanted space. Although there is broad adoption of various data optimization tools and virtualization, resource utilization for storage facilities has always remained between the 45% to 70% range.

Such wastage occurs due to poor system management and a lack of proper planning. The under-utilized resource will incur regular maintenance costs because it has consumed the store’s floor space. MTT Connect guides its clients to invest in space and IT resources that meet their needs. Leasing our systems will save you from overspending on your storage.

Overlooking Disaster Recovery and Backup

Disaster recovery and backup are slowly creeping back as an agenda in many board rooms. The increasing cases of business interruptions caused by IT problems have made entrepreneurs and business executives rethink their defences against ransomware threats. We know the issues your business is likely to face.

That’s why we take every effective measure to protect your storage from looming threats. We always evaluate and change our clients’ DR technology to make it more acute. Our backup data and backup systems are also air-gapped from the production to storage systems and monitored by specialists in case of a ransomware attack.

Overlooking Skills

The greatest challenge most businesses face is getting people with the right skills for managing storage systems. You won’t find teenagers saying they would love to become a storage admin. The lack of IT skills isn’t restricted to storage only, but is at the base of the pyramid. MTT Connect is aware of this problem and its consequence for businesses.

We are trying to terminate this issue by using AI to automate several tasks. We also have a team of IT specialists that can effectively run your storage system. Whenever you need professional services, you can contact us for assistance. Our experts are always ready to serve you.

Our Expert Tips for Setting Up Business-Grade WI-FI Network

Whether opening a new business location or moving from one office building to another, ensure you make plans for solid office WI-FI solutions. Advanced technologies have made it necessary for businesses to rely on wireless networks in executing their day-to-day tasks. Most corporations are slowly phasing out devices that solely rely on Ethernet connectivity. That is sufficient proof that wireless network is the future. So, investing in the best WI-FI solution for your company is a great investment that will pay off.

MTT Connect plays an integral role in the tech industry by assisting businesses to shift from Ethernet to the wireless networks. We know every business has unique needs irrespective of its size and industry. That is why we strive to provide a tailored wireless network suitable for every company. So far, we’ve numerous clients impressed by our wireless solutions. Here are our expert tips for setting up a business-grade wireless network.

Picking the Right Equipment for Your Company’s Network Needs

Before surveying the office for proper placement of access points, we first choose the right equipment for our clients. Our specialists are aware that the performance capacity of the available access points in the market differs. Hence, they will determine your needs in order to choose the right one for you. Using WI-FI access points for homes in your office is a big error. Such access points won’t meet your needs.

For businesses, we always go for commercial WI-FI equipment. This equipment can accommodate dozens or hundreds of simultaneous connections. We will guide your choices in picking equipment that can meet your network needs.

Conduct Surveys to Establish the Best Access Points

Our first phase of setting up the WI-FI network is conducting a wireless site survey. Based on our calculation, a small office under 2000 square feet needs only two access points unless it has materials on its walls like glass or metals, which can affect the wireless signal.

The wireless survey enables us to determine the exact amount, placement, and configuration of the office’s access points. Surveys are essential for medium, or expansive offices that require at least five access points.

Securing Your Wireless Network

Do not assume your WI-FI controllers and access points will offer an advanced level of security needed by your company. Such an assumption has made many companies victims of ransomware attacks. After installing the wireless network, we always encourage our clients to supplement their security with equipment like firewalls.

Our work goes beyond installing the network. We also ensure it is secure from hacking and viruses. We also inform our clients of the need to protect their passwords, especially from unauthorized people. We can also add another layer of authentication using a splash page. That will make your network a hard nut to crack.

Better Network Management

If your company devices or computers have vital information connected to the same wireless network that gives every user access to your data. You will also discover that most of the security breaches in your company’s network originate from internal devices. MTT Connect experts are aware of the possibilities of emerging internal threats.

So, we will assist you in managing your network better. We use SSIDs to broadcast WI-FI to different users. The multiple SSIDs separate employees, guests, and other wireless users in order to enhance security, QoS, and manage bandwidth. It also restricts unauthorized wireless users from accessing sensitive information.
