Network

We build networks that stay stable under load.

We plan, build and operate networks for mid-sized companies, from the head office to your own data centre space.

How we decide

We base every decision about your network on measurements. Every recommendation comes with the figures behind it.

Services

What we take on for your network

You decide where we come in. We almost always start with an analysis of the current state.

  1. 01

    Planning and assessment

    We measure what your network delivers today and where it reaches its limits. From this we draw up a target architecture for the next few years. It is planned around your budget.

    • Bottlenecks

    • Budget

    Build and relocation

    We connect sites, build new links and relocate equipment. By arrangement we schedule critical work for the night or the weekend.

    • Site interconnection
    • VPN
    • Wi-Fi
    • Relocation
  3. 03

    Connectivity and providers

    We compare lines and providers by measurements rather than brochures. We handle orders and appointments for you.

    • Providers
    • Redundancy
    • Internet connection
  4. 04

    Operation and monitoring

    We monitor your network down to the individual port and install updates in fixed maintenance windows. We keep spare parts ready for core components. On request we operate the network together with your team.

    • Maintenance windows
    • Spare parts
    • Shared operation

Starting point

Where does your network stand today?

These are the three starting points we meet most often.

One site

A head office or plant at a single address. We plan cabling, Wi-Fi, internet connection and firewall as one coherent network.

Typical first step
A measurement of the Wi-Fi and the internet connection
Common reason
A move, an expansion or a Wi-Fi network at its limit

Process

How a network project runs

  1. 01Survey

    We measure the live network and also record the undocumented devices.

  2. 02Target architecture

    You receive two options with effort and sequence for each. One of them usually needs no new hardware.

  3. 03Rebuild

    We rebuild step by step. Every step has a rehearsed rollback.

  4. 04Operation

    We take over monitoring and maintenance in the agreed model. Your team mostly sees the result.

Step 03 in detail

Every rebuild step has a rehearsed rollback.

Before the first switchover we rehearse restoring the previous state. Automated tests run after every step. Only a passed test clears the next step.

In practice

From our projects

Our projects range from Germany to the Philippines.

  • Tier-1 network operator, Germany

    Result
    Every release is tested considerably faster. Faulty images are caught before they reach production.
    Task
    Test automation for new software releases with regression and security tests before every rollout.

  • Staffing provider on several continents

    Result
    Network and security follow an agreed target architecture. The build on site could start directly from it.
    Task
    Network and security planning for the Manila site.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is your question missing? Call us or write to us.

+49 6123 9252933 info (at) bitcontrol.net
Do we have to buy the hardware from you?
No. You procure the equipment through your usual channel or through us. We are tied to no manufacturer.
How quickly are you there when a fault occurs?
We accept fault reports from Monday to Friday between 8:00 and 17:00 except public holidays and usually resolve them remotely. We agree fixed response times in a separate service level agreement. All terms are set out in the comparison of contract models.
What does work outside the contract cost?
We bill it on a time and materials basis. The exact effort often becomes clear only during the work. For larger jobs we agree with you in advance how to proceed.
Do you work with subcontractors?
We pass individual tasks to partner firms we have worked with for years. The point of contact and the responsibility remain with us.
Do you also work with our existing service provider?
Yes. That is more the rule than the exception. We agree the division of tasks in writing beforehand. In the event of a fault everyone then knows their part.
