Infrastructure

There is a growing demand for companies to deploy an IT infrastructure that supports both Unified Communications and business integrated applications. Your IT infrastructure needs to provide stability, flexibility and sustainability to allow your organisation to grow and meet the ever-changing demands of your environment. Whether its connecting your employees via a fully managed LAN environment, a managed wireless environment, implementing the core cabling infrastructure at your new office or assisting with your infrastructure migration to the cloud, Blackstar has the expertise to meet your specific needs.

Your network is the core foundation of your business and, with the right investment in a secure, intelligent and flexible network, you can accelerate your digital transformation and focus on business growth.

Blackstar Solutions can help you develop a network that supports and enhances your business operations, whilst also lowering costs. By adopting the most appropriate network services you will benefit from high performance, predictive operations; provision new services faster, optimise applications and mitigate threats. Our solutions address common networking challenges, yet also give you the flexibility to adopt new technologies and take control of your network’s future.

With the rapid emergence of smart mobile devices and ever-increasing data requirements, IT departments face the challenge of creating a secure environment that enhances employee productivity and user satisfaction.

It is critical that your wireless network is secure but it must also be able to control access levels for a wide variety of devices, apps and users. With the increasing adoption of unified communications, wireless networks have to support the demands of real-time voice and video. Blackstar Solutions have partnered with wireless specialists Huawei and Aruba Networks, who will evaluate your network demands and develop the right wireless solution to fit your needs. You can be assured of a scalable, agile and supportive infrastructure for your immediate requirements and future growth.

Your employees need quick, reliable and secure access to key applications and enterprise data from anywhere, at any time. Organisations expect the modern data centre to provide the agility, security and scalability to power growth and innovation.

The volume of data processed and stored continues to increase at a rapid pace, as does demand for enhanced application availability, security, cost control and energy efficiency. Blackstar Solutions provide a comprehensive range of data centre services, from connectivity and co-location services, to rack space, power and cooling. Our solutions are designed to seamlessly scale alongside your business needs, and support your business growth, rather than limiting it.

A structured cabling system is the wiring network that carries all of your communications systems throughout your office sites, including voice, data, multimedia, PoE, and even wireless.

It’s vital to make sure that your cabling infrastructure is properly planned, designed, installed and maintained, using high quality materials. Whether you’re looking for new installations, system upgrades, or moves/adds/changes, you can trust Blackstar to manage the whole process end to end, from planning and design, through to procurement, installation and ongoing maintenance.

Network security should be a high priority, to ensure complete peace of mind, knowing that your data is protected and regularly backed up.

Blackstar Solutions focus on prevention, and then monitor and detect threats to your system in real-time, taking immediate action if and when required. Anti-virus and malware protection will make sure that your systems are compliant with data protection regulations and are only accessible to the right people. Session border controllers (SBCs) from AudioCodes deliver seamless connectivity, enhanced security and quality assurance, forming an effective demarcation point between your VoIP network and the service provider’s SIP trunk. They perform SIP protocol mediation and media handling (interoperability), as well as securing the enterprise VoIP network. Working with Fortinet, Blackstar also offer firewall technology with excellent protection capabilities and threat management including anti-spam, anti-virus and web filtering.
