With more applications being added every day to a consolidated and converged service-oriented framework, the demand for a convergence and service-centric network layer is growing enormously. To fulfill current and future requirements, we help you to focus on building up high performance, simplified and flexible networks which will allow you to focus on rolling out new services rather than analyzing infrastructure readiness every time a need arises.

At AGC Networks, we understand the paradigm shift about expectations from networking infrastructure as we specialized in providing delay sensitive applications like voice and video. We are able to provide network architecture meeting solutions for all the common challenges, and

  • Improve productivity by reliable and faster network architecture
  • Improve user experience by deploying SOA
  • Reduce operational cost by deploying scalable and simplified architecture

With our knowledge, skill and experience we are able to stitch together various building blocks to offer a seamless experience to our customers' end customer. An organization's efficiency in the today's world hugely depends on whether information can be accessed anywhere, anytime. A well planned, latency sensitive, future ready network is the base that can enable you to achieve this ubiquitous presence. AGC can assist you in building such a network base.

Switching

From an end user network perspective, organizations are deploying more real-time business applications to which even milliseconds of latency make a difference. Enterprises also have requirements like high performance with high reliability, simplification of LAN network layers, the ability to treat different applications with a different set of parameters, support for latest security trends, ease of management and green solutions with low operational costs. These are helpful for businesses of any type and any size. AGC helps clients address these requirements by a thorough study of business needs and by then transforming these needs into a simplified, resilient, QOS aware, service oriented and energy efficient LAN solution with minimal running costs.

On the other hand, the consolidation of applications and resources is pushing organizations to a new level. Organizations now focus immensely on building up green datacenters which allow the roll-out of new applications and provisioning of computer and storage resources in a matter of few minutes. AGC helps you to build up green, fabric based, virtualized and converged datacenter networks with SLA driven manageability and management.

Along with both datacenter and end user LAN, organizations are challenged to provide seamless access anytime, anywhere to their employees, partners and customers. AGC helps you to build a granular, role based access layer which ensures users get the same rich experience based on the access policies no matter whether access is from a local network, or from their smart devices at a coffee shop.

Routing

While organizations are spreading their wings to expand businesses across the globe, applications are consolidating to fewer locations in high performance datacenters. There is a need for 'always on', unified communication amongst various user groups across the organization to cut traveling costs and to increase productivity. There is also a requirement for a high performance, application aware wide area network (WAN) infrastructure. AGC helps you to build a multi-location, VPN based, highly available, optimized WAN network minimizing capital investments as well as running WAN bandwidth and management costs.

On the other side of the WAN infrastructure lie carrier telecom service provider networks, which by nature are the most critical, near-zero downtime and complex networks in the world. Building up telecom networks, increasing capacities, and simplification of various carrier network layers needs a lot of planning along with highly experience people to design and deploy, and a lot of investment in spares and support structure. AGC carries a rich experience to help telecoms build MPLS, Metro Ethernet, Core and Edge networks.

A few years ago, IPv4 was sufficient to support all possible devices. The proliferation of connectivity and devices has changed the story in the recent years and thus the 32 bits IPv4 has gracefully given way to 128 bits IPv6 addresses, which also provide some inbuilt quality and security properties. However, different protocol standards mean they can't talk to each other. Moreover organizations cannot do away with their existing IPv6 incompatible devices. AGC helps both end user organizations and telecoms to build alternate strategies like dual stacking (co-existence of both standards), Network Address Translation/ CGNAT, and tunneling.

Metro Ethernet

Telecom networks by nature are complex to provision and difficult to expand as per bandwidth requirements. As Ethernet has made other protocols out of the game from the LAN arena by providing flexibility, simplicity, high performance and cost effectiveness, metro Ethernet evolved rapidly to repeat the story in telecom network space. AGC helps you to build up metro Ethernet Edge solutions backed up by Ethernet or legacy core MPLS layers, to deliver very high bandwidth, customized, secure connectivity to enterprises within a fraction of the cost of traditional edge solutions. Enterprises benefit by simplified configuration and management and are able to extend native LAN over metro Ethernet Networks, thus provisioning tailor made bandwidths and quality treatment for converged voice, video and network applications.

Wireless

Today's growing demand for 'anytime, anywhere' network access has expanded to include the use of personal mobile devices such as laptops, tablets, smartphone, e-readers and more. This Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) phenomenon is changing the way IT organizations and users perceive network access and security.

For IT organizations, BYOD means supporting a variety of devices and their operating systems, and maintaining an expected level of service. To keep costs low, it must be easy to securely onboard new devices and quickly identify and resolve problems. For users, BYOD means using a laptop or smartphone that best addresses their needs. Organizations must also understand support considerations and what happens when a device is replaced, lost or stolen.

The effect of granting enterprise access to personal devices has major direct implications on security, information ownership, device and network control and even helpdesk resources. These security challenges include:

  • Understanding who and what is on the network.
  • Keeping the network malware-free.
  • Determining the level of information that can be stored on a BYOD endpoint.
  • Providing proper enforcement of access policies to maintain compliance and audit requirements.

Many organizations prefer restricting guests to an isolated network segment, such as using a separate SSID from the corporate SSID, and providing internet access only. However, a true BYOD access solution is one which gives the IT team the flexibility to create granular access rules for different types of user groups based on their identity, location, device and privilege. Decision makers are striving to build a secure, identity aware wireless network with high bandwidth standards like 802.11n. Such a secure and high performance network enhances user experience and also improves productivity. AGC helps you to build smart wireless networks through proper consulting and business need analysis, and/or an indoor/outdoor or mixed wireless environment, adding wireless specific security and granular identity aware access, provisioning add-ons like guest access solution, and building a comprehensive management and monitoring overlay around the solution. With the engagement of our video and voice expertise, we can also help you to extend your unified communication networks seamlessly over the secure wireless LAN solution.

We also help very large organizations and service providers by offering innovative Wi-Fi hotspots, Wi-Fi 3G/ LTE offload solutions. To many organizations, this opens up new opportunities for revenue generation through their wireless LAN network.

WiMAX

WiMAX has seen huge success in large countries which have scattered population density and technology feasibility to support high bandwidth broadband, voice and video call services. In many countries like India, it's believed that WiMAX may outdo 3G/LTE which are late entrants. Applications like video calling, VoIP and streaming media content has increased the demands of a high bandwidth access network, both from telecom service providers and large enterprise or government projects. AGC helps you with its rich expertise in WiMAX right from consulting and extensive survey stage to building up WiMAX BTS and providing end user solutions.

Network Security

Businesses in the current world are so demanding that maintaining an efficiently running state is seen as more challenging than building a competitive, accessible and secure IT setup. On one hand, new threats evolve every day, and on the other hand, there is a massive increase in the demand for more open access to the data resources and applications. This leads to thinking innovatively and building a smart, multi technology security overlay around the perimeter of the organization which will not only secure the data from existing threats but also protects from zero day attacks.

Network security is a multi-level and ongoing process which in general can be segregated into 2 groups:

  • Security enforcement appliances like stateful firewalls, Unified Threat Management (UTM) services, IPS/IDS layers, and user authentication and policy engines
  • Security monitoring solutions to manage and continuously monitor security state of the organization like NMS, logging and event correlation solutions

AGC helps you to build a multi-layer, end-to-end network security solution with tight integration of all components right from the perimeter to the access devices. We provide solutions that will prevent unauthorized activities from both outside and insider threats and solutions that will ensure compliance policies are met and user access is granted as per privilege levels. We also provide solutions that will help our clients comprehensively monitor and analyze network state for protection against unidentified threats and attacks.
