Fight the Good Fight Against Network Errors

06/17/2013 09:26

Building and running a network is a complicated task, one fraught with all kinds of potential problems. The fact is that, while a network is essential for any business to be competitive in today's wired world, that same network can also become a massive money sink if it is incorrectly built. You may find yourself calling technicians in every other week to deal with problems in network infrastructure that can't seem to be permanently repaired, leaving your office without a network for huge swathes of time.

 

This is why it always pays to invest in test automation software to test your network for any errors in it. Although human testing can be somewhat effective, human beings just aren't as fast or as efficient – or as capable of long, tedious work – as computers are. A high-quality network test labs suite, though seemingly expensive at first, can quickly save you many times its retail value by tracking down and revealing problems in your network's infrastructure long before they pop up in the course of your network's use.

 

A network automation test, run early in the life of the network and regularly from then on, can save you time, money, stress, frustration, and the humiliation of having your office's network constantly down and effectively ineffective. Network test automation tools aren't at all difficult to learn, and it won't be hard for you to delegate the task of testing your network to an employee capable of handling a data center migration testing checklist. You do, of course, have a data center testing plan, right?

 

If not, that's definitely something you want to develop as soon as possible. As with any problem, it is best to approach it with a set plan in place and protocols to handle any complicated process your employees will have to take on. With a plan in place, when real problems pop up, everyone will already be trained in what to do and how to do it.

 

Coming face to face with computer and network errors without knowing what to do is perhaps the greatest frustration of this modern, 21st century, wired age we find ourselves living in. Don't subject your employees to that kind of stress; instead, keep them trained in how to handle problems with the network – which there inevitably will be some – and save yourself the trouble! They'll thank you for it, in the end.
