Strategic Network Planning
At Lumisol, we recognize the importance of organizations maximizing their economic performance with the necessary network solutions. Our trained professionals work directly with our clients to develop a tailor-made infrastructure that is unique to the respective enterprise’s requirements.
We first assess a company’s present situation, then determining the needs and finally coming to a conclusion with regards to the design and integration of the network. This is so our clients get the most out of their resources, ensure a steady experience for all end users, and achieve their business goals set.
Security Planning
A Security Plan is a consultation on how to defend your company’s network against cyber attacks and other malicious threats. This is essential as an enterprise lacking a proper security plan can lead to increases in costs and should be included in the enterprise’s overall strategy.
The plan should comply with industry standards of avoiding a damaging security incident; sustain the reputation of the business and supporting commitment to shareholders, customers, partners and suppliers, as the benefits of proper planning are significant and can offer competitive advantage.
Network Design
Network design is setting the parameters of your network to deliver an optimal performance in the present and make sure to be ready for whatever the future brings. It has a direct impact on the performance of your network, its reliability, predictability, capacity and its potential for future growth.
Lumisol wants to fulfill your business plan in terms of capacity, coverage, cost and quality. We want to make sure it meets the needs of our clients. Network design is more than determining where to place components and how to connect them, we determine how to meet capacity requirements and ensure reliability within the network.
Business Continuity Planning
When business is disrupted, it can cost money. Lost revenues plus extra expenses mean reduced profits. In the event of any disaster or emergency, it is important to have a plan in place so that your organization can return to business as usual, as fast as possible. Business Continuity Planning, a subset of risk management, is important.
Any event that could negatively impact the company’s operations (fire, theft, viruses etc.) are included in the plan to help ensure that business processes can continue during a time of emergency or disaster.
We conduct a business impact analysis on the company, to identify the time-sensitive or critical business functions and processes, along with the resources that support them, and develop disaster recovery plans.
Cloud Back Up Solutions
Cloud backup is a type of service through which cloud computing resources and infrastructure are used to create, edit, manage and restore data, services or application backup. This is done remotely over the Internet.
Cloud backup is primarily used on an individual’s or organization’s data via an offsite and remote cloud storage platform. Cloud backup works when a cloud backup provider allocates cloud storage that is accessible globally over the Internet or backup software via a purpose-built user interface or vendor API. Cloud backup storage can be used to virtually store and back up all types of data or applications. Unlike traditional backup techniques, cloud backup is highly flexible and scalable in scaling up and down on run time.

Help Desk Support
A help desk, in the context of IT, is a department inside an organization that is responsible for answering the technical questions of its users. The questions and their answers are usually transferred using e-mail, telephone, website, or online chat.
A standard help desk offers a single point of contact for users to get assistance. Normally, the help desk handles requests by using help desk software, or issue tracking systems. This enables the help desk operators to keep track of user requests using a unique identifier, easily find solutions to common queries and prioritize cases.
We provide help desk support to all of our customers. Our hours of service are Monday – Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm.
Hyper Convergence Solutions
The simple concept of convergence allows multiple tasks to be performed on a single device. This effectively conserves space and power. For example, rather than carrying separate devices – like a cell phone, camera, and digital organizer – each technology converges on a single device, or smartphone.
Another good example is surfing the Internet on a high-definition TV (HDTV). A hyper-converged system allows the integrated technologies to be managed as a single system through a common toolset. It is a type of infrastructure system with a software-centric architecture that tightly integrates resources and other technologies from scratch.
Penetration Testing
Penetration testing (pen-testing or pentesting) is a method of testing, measuring and enhancing established security measures on information systems and support areas.
It is implemented by simulating malicious attacks from an organization’s internal and external users. Then the entire system is then analyzed for potential vulnerabilities. A plan that communicates test objectives, timetables and resources is developed prior to actual pen-testing.
Pen-testing is an invaluable process for a number of reasons:
Project Staffing
Selecting and assembling a project team, specifies when and how to meet the requirements for staffing the project; how do we provide this service?
Project resources and staffing planning involves identifying a project team that possess the skills required to perform the work, as well as identifying the tools, equipment, facilities, and other resources needed by the project team. In scheduling resources, the project manager must ensure that both the people and the equipment are available simultaneously. The resources and staffing plan provides a blueprint for project resource availability.
RFP Management
A Request for Proposal is a document that an organization posts to elicit bids from potential vendors for a desired information technology solution. It specifies what the customer is looking for and establishes evaluation criteria for assessing proposals. It provides a procurement framework to streamline the initial stages of contractor solicitation.
RFPs are organized into the following three primary procedural categories:
Web Development
An Internet presence is no longer an option in today’s business environment, it is a necessity. Businesses now spend a significant amount of their yearly budgets on various marketing plans geared toward increasing their market share. At Lumisol, we can get your company’s website up and running for you. Our services not only include development but maintaining your website over time.
Our team can also develop web and mobile applications to increase your customer reach and run social media campaigns to keep your customers engaged. Contact us for further details.
Network Audit & Optimization
Network Audit
Auditing is important to your technology implementation process. A thorough assessment of the state and capabilities of your existing network is essential. This analysis will determine and identify ways to get the best out of your network in the future by analyzing security health, performance, management, and availability.
Vulnerabilities and threats are identified after data is gathered and we also review processes and measures that ensure network availability, performance and quality of service. Our information system auditor or network analyst comes to review and gather data about the network’s posture.
Network Optimization
“How well are we doing?” and “can we do better?” are two important questions that you can ask with regards to your network.
With Network Optimization, end-user experience and network performance are measured and analyzed to find ways of improvement. We measure the present performance, provide recommendations to reach the benchmark against local or global references/standards.
It is an important component of effective information systems management because information technology is growing at exponential rates. If proper network optimization is not in place, the continuous growth can add strain to the network of the organization.
