Auditing the network setup for the world's tenth largest development bank

Client Context: The bank commenced its operations in November 1995. In less than seven years the bank has attained a front ranking position in the Indian Banking Industry.

The bank has planned investments in technology to put in place building blocks for creating the right organizational infrastructure. It believes this investment will help it in consistently delivering superior service to its customers and also act as a clear differentiator amongst competition.

The Requirement : With its increased investment in technology and to support its growing Network infrastructure (LAN and WAN), the bank needed a partner to help in auditing the significant infrastructure setup. The bank defined the scope of the work to include these areas:

• WAN Audit
• LAN Audit
• Network Management Audit
• Convergence Audit

The Solution: Netsol's approach was well planned, and structured in accordance with the criticality of the client's requirement. After understanding the requirement in detail, Netsol went about the process by dividing the task into six modules namely:

• Network Topology Audit
• Routing Architecture Audit
• IP Addressing scheme Audit
• Link BaseLine
• Equipment Baseline and Audit
• Network Availability Audit

The above audits were conducted and Netsol identified several problem areas whose rectification resulted in significant improvements to the efficiency of the network.
