NETWORK IMPLEMENTATION
. . . . Computer network implementation
Control Key was formed to create a Technically Focused company. Rather than focusing on "box shifting" hardware and software solutions, 
we have always focused on being able to physically and logically implement the solutions that we sell. We have built up experience and knowledge of installing the solutions we offer in real life situations, on production networks, to meet actual business needs.
. . . . In-depth knowledge
If we supply, physically install and configure the hardware and software we have integrated into our design, we have complete knowledge of the whole infrastructure." we have complete knowledge of the whole infrastructure " This allows us to produce meaningful documentation for handover and makes subsequent support much easier for us and the client.
. . . . One-off implementation
For one-off specific network solutions Control Key engineers work right alongside the on-site resource (including IT Departments) passing on knowledge and documentation to support the implementation.
. . . . Long term relationship
Control Key often works with IT Departments in a longer term relationship where we act as an extension of that department - supplementing the on-site skills with installation and roll-out of specific technologies (perhaps Anti Virus, Email policy engines etc.).
. . . . Full service network implementation
Often we are called upon to perform complete installations of a network, and provide liaison with third party software vendors to give the client the infrastructure their business systems require.
. . . . Trusted network infrastructure
Control Key supplies and implements the Cisco wireless access points, routers and switches that make up the networks we design, using our CCNA and CCNP qualified engineers. We supply and implement the Microsoft™ server technologies on the Compaq and Dell server hardware platforms using our Microsoft™ qualified engineers. We install the Websense™, Clearswift™, WatchGuard™, Radware™, Symantec™, Sophos™, and RSA™ products we supply - because only then can we say we know these vendors' products work.
. . . . When to upgrade your network
Control Key implements hardware and software solutions in conjunction with the client's project timescales. Implementation services may be required when a client needs to start a new project, when a new site is being brought on to the network or is moving, or when a technology is being replaced with a new incarnation.
