Tobias International’s Network Optimization service maximizes the rate of return on our clients' enterprise network investments. Although the Tobias International’s Network Lifecycle Methodology has built-in optimization at every stage, Tobias International offers both long- and short-term optimization services for clients with operational networks who are not yet ready to invest in new equipment.
Long-term services typically address cost containment and network utilization issues related to the backbone architecture and infrastructure, while short-term projects focus on optimizing workgroup, departmental, building, or campus network investments. Tobias International consultants can also assist in optimizing "logical" networks by addressing a protocol, service, or application that operates in the larger context of the client's enterprise network. Many of the analysis tasks required for optimization can be automated by Tobias International’s TotalVision performance management software.
