Network Design starts
from the foundation. Your sleek new infrastructure of VLANs and
virtual devices is complete trash if the foundation of your network
is faulty. Layer 1 is king, and disruptions in layer 1 still
contribute to a huge volume of detrimental network outages. As
network capabilities develop and grow, layer 1 requirements will
evolve and remain the most critical consideration.
Next, you need to
consider power sources. To say we’ve been spoiled in recent decades
with our power sources seems strange, but it’s true. As power
demands increase with newer technology, availability and consistency
of power is more critical than ever. The addition of virtualized
machines and software-based appliances that are more sensitive to
power issues compounds the problem. Oftentimes, power issues can
cause widespread network disruptions without ever triggering an
alert. Clean, conditioned, consistent power used to be a luxury, but
is now a necessity in the network.
Next, you have to think
of documentation. You may have flashbacks of writing book reports in
high school, but maintaining documentation on your network is the
easiest way to ensure you’re following best practices, tracking
changes and creating the means to troubleshoot effectively. As we
layer on more technology and applications, documentation will
increase in significance. Embrace it, live it, love it, do it. Twenty
minutes of documentation now, even if you feel you don’t have 20
minutes to spare, may save you 20 hours down the road.
