Network Infrastructure // Network Performance Monitoring
Best for firms with 25+ users at one or more sites

Know what your network is doing before users complain.

Without monitoring, the first sign of a network problem is users complaining — and by then, work has stopped. We watch link health, latency, packet loss, and Wi-Fi quality continuously, alert before things become user-visible, and produce a monthly report that shows what's been quietly degrading.

How most firms find out about network problems.

pain 01

Users complain. We start digging.

By then, three teams are blocked. Half a day lost before the diagnosis even begins.

pain 02

Wi-Fi 'slow' but nobody can prove it.

Without measurements, every 'fix' is a guess. Maybe it worked. Maybe not.

pain 03

ISP says everything's fine.

No data to push back with. Pay for the service, problems persist, no leverage.

pain 04

Bandwidth peaks at 5 p.m. every day.

Backup job runs over the work day. Nobody noticed because nobody was looking.

What you get

What we monitor.

  • 01

    Link health

    Every internet, MPLS, and VPN link checked every minute. Latency, jitter, packet loss, throughput, errors.

  • 02

    Internal network

    Switch port utilization, error rates, broadcast storms. Catch the failing switch before it fails.

  • 03

    Wi-Fi quality

    Per-AP and per-client metrics. Coverage, congestion, roaming behavior, retry rates.

  • 04

    Application performance

    Synthetic tests against M365, Salesforce, and your critical SaaS. Slowness flagged before users notice.

  • 05

    Bandwidth analysis

    What's using your bandwidth, by app and by user. Find the runaway backup or the bitcoin miner.

  • 06

    Alerting + monthly reports

    We get paged on real problems. You get a monthly written summary with trends, anomalies, recommendations.

From a client
Our team kept saying Zoom was bad in the afternoons. Senator's monitoring showed the office VPN was saturating around 2 p.m. — backup job moved to 3 a.m., problem gone. Without the data we'd have spent months chasing it.

Who needs this

Who needs this.

  • Any firm where staff regularly complain that 'the network is slow.'
  • Multi-site firms that need consistent monitoring across locations.
  • Cloud-heavy firms whose user experience depends on link quality.
  • Firms that pay for premium ISP SLAs and want evidence to enforce them.
FAQ
Q01

Is this part of monitoring already in our managed-IT plan?

Network monitoring is often included; deep flow analysis and synthetic testing are usually add-ons.

Q02

Can we see the dashboard ourselves?

Yes — real-time read-only access. Monthly written report goes to your designated stakeholders.

Q03

What if our ISP is the problem?

Common. We collect evidence (graphs, packet captures), open the case with the ISP, and pursue SLA credits where applicable.

Q04

Does this work for cloud-only firms?

Yes — synthetic monitoring against M365, AWS, Azure, and SaaS measures your team's actual experience. Catches issues even when you have no on-prem network.
