Network Management & Monitoring

A strong network foundation is essential to maintaining a productive IT environment. Our team at Ekkum specializes in setting up and managing advanced network monitoring software, preventing outages and ensuring smooth, uninterrupted operations.

Our Network Monitoring Services include:

• Network Monitoring Solutions - Utilizing top-tier tools such as SolarWinds, Nagios-Core, WhatsUp Gold, Cacti, and PRTG, we establish monitoring frameworks for both local and remote networks, covering essential services, connectivity, route changes, and network convergence events with protocols like Spanning Tree.
• Network Automation & Configuration Backup – We implement solutions for seamless backup and change management across network devices, using tools like BackBox and RANCID. Our goal is to automate and make network operations as redundant as possible within resource constraints.
• Network Access Control (NAC) - Our vendor-agnostic services cover NAC implementation for single or multi-site setups, tailored to your current infrastructure and security requirements. IP Address Management – We assist in designing scalable IP address spaces for single or multiple locations. Our services support IP extension, merging IP address spaces, and planning for remote access through VPN, SD-WAN, or SASE.
• Routing Services – From static to dynamic routing solutions, we build efficient routing frameworks that prioritize redundancy and meet specific business demands.
• Networking Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity Planning – Ekkum provides cost-effective solutions for disaster recovery and business continuity planning, ensuring your network remains resilient in the face of disruptions.
• Multi-Homed BGP Setup for Optimized Load Sharing – We guide clients in acquiring IPv4 addresses and establishing Autonomous Systems (AS) for optimized load-sharing across multiple ISPs using Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). This setup ensures consistent IP availability across sites, including public cloud integration if needed.
• Public Cloud Connectivity – We facilitate secure and redundant connectivity to public cloud workloads through IPSec VPNs or dedicated Partner Connect links for high-bandwidth applications.
• Private Cloud Connectivity – Similar to public cloud services, we offer secure, redundant connections to private cloud workloads using IPSec VPNs or dedicated links for high-performance connectivity.
• Remote Access Solutions – Ekkum enables secure remote access for users and sites through VPN (IPSec or SSL-based) or SASE, ensuring connectivity to critical applications.
• Network Integration with Security – We design and implement connectivity with essential security systems, including firewalls, routers, proxies, web application firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, and network taps.
• Quality of Service (QoS) – To improve network performance and bandwidth usage, we implement QoS services that prioritize data packets, especially for latency-sensitive applications like video calls and VoIP, across platforms such as Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, and Webex.
• Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) – Our VLAN services cover design, planning, and implementation, providing single or multi-site VLAN setups that include spanning tree protocol optimization.
