Why Structured Cabling is Crucial for Managing IT Security – Part 2
Part 2 will discuss why structured cabling is crucial for managing IT security.
Improved Compliance & Security
A data center is where your organization’s servers, routers, switches, and other IT equipment are typically located. They are connected to hardware, including computers, printers, security cameras, and VoIP phones, with cabling.
These cables are labeled, photographed, and cataloged regarding their connections and functions to stay organized, making it easier to do MACs (moves, additions, and changes) mentioned in Part 1. Doing so also makes it much easier to tell if an unauthorized MAC was made, making an organization’s IT infrastructure more secure against tampering.
Structured cabling also makes it easier to install IP cameras, which can strengthen your facility’s security.
Greater Speed & Reliability
Network stability, reliability, speed, and security are essential to every business. Latency problems can ruin a vital video conference call. Well-designed and installed structured cabling allows an organization to have a network that functions properly and dependably, promoting employee productivity. They will have a network that will enable them to access and locate files quickly and securely.
More Efficient Technical Support
No matter the size of your business, performing technical support as efficiently as possible is essential. As mentioned in Part 1, structured cabling uses an MDA (Main Distribution Area), where MACs can be performed easier and faster. To be effective, a structured cabling system will require proper professional planning and installation, making it more secure.
Savings of Resources
A well-planned and installed structured cabling system will save a business time, money, and effort. Your company’s success will depend in part on how well your IT network works. As mentioned above, structured cabling allows your tech support to work faster and more efficiently, minimizing downtime and loss of revenue.
