Advanced Digital has built a reputation on our network design
services. For decades, we have provided complete Network Design
Solutions to customers in commercial, government and education
markets. The need for a solid, secure network is universal. CAD
provides complete Network Design Solutions based on the HP
Procurve Networking Architecture. HP Procurve Networking has been
moving up in the networking space for years and offers many
advantages over other manufacturers. For more information on HP
Procurve, please view the HP
Procurve Product Information.
With our Network Design Solutions, customers generally choose to
use CAD for both the hardware purchase and the Design Services;
it’s much easier and more cost-effective. We do also provide
services and products separately, should your needs be better met
that way.
Network Upgrades and
Changeovers
Network Design
Solutions often encompass an entire project as part of an upgrade
and/or vendor changeover. Using our exclusive
Route Concept Diagram and
custom-developed Network Checklists,
network changes can be implemented with virtually no impact on
productivity for a painless upgrade or changeover.
Our system is meticulous; we do all the preparation and
documentation before a switch is ever touched. On the cutover
date, command scripts have been automatically generated from our
network drawings and the documentation and drawings are already
completed. We have never, in over 20 years, experienced a failed
cutover.
Turnkey and New Networks
For customers
needing a complete ready-to-go solution for a new building or
network, we also offer complete Turnkey Network Designs. Designs
may be custom and are based on your specific needs, or they can
originate from a Design Template we’ve previously developed for
certain markets or customer types.

Advanced Digital offers professional vendor-neutral site surveys
to evaluate your current network environment. We send certified
networking engineers on site to perform a walk-thru of all or part
of your infrastructure and identify present equipment, connections
and determine capability. Depending on the depth of information
desired, a site survey might also include Network Documentation,
using CAD’s exclusive vendor-neutral Route Concept Diagrams and
custom-developed Network Checklists.
A site survey may be requested as an a-la-carte service, but is
normally provided in conjunction with, or as part of, a complete
Network Design solution. Customers often request a site survey in
lieu of a consulting session to get more detailed information from
an engineer about their specific infrastructure.
Pricing for a site survey follows our on site networking rates,
with a half-day minimum. If performed as part of a Network Design
solution, the Site Survey cost may be included as part of a
pre-determined project price.

Advanced Digital provides network implementation, installation and
configuration services for HP Procurve Networking products. For
customers involved in a complete Network Design Solution with CAD,
the implementation portion is included in the project if
requested.
For customers needing assistance with equipment they already have,
CAD provides these services by certified networking engineers at
an hourly or project-based flat fee.

If the
documentation is part of our Network Design Solution, then this
item should be much farther up the page; for those customers, the
documentation is completed in advance of the actual
implementation.
In other cases, customers sometimes find they don’t really know
what is already in their existing infrastructure. A technician
might have thrown in a switch here to fix that problem the
director had four months back… or the last network drawing ignored
a few pieces of unidentified equipment in the back of closet… or
perhaps there was an entire network closet that was missed?
It’s important to know what’s in your network to fully understand
the capabilities and limitations you’re currently working with.
You need an accurate network drawing before any upgrades,
additions, WAN changes, VoIP implementations and backup
implementations.
Carolina Advanced Digital provides several levels of Network
Documentation, in conjunction with our Network Survey services.
Customers are
provided with several documentation pieces, including:
- Route
Concept Diagrams
- Network and
Closet Checklists
- Detailed
Visio Drawing
