WHY NETWORKING IS CRITICAL FOR MODERN ORGANIZATIONS
In today’s digital economy, every organization (large or small) relies on its ability to seamlessly process, share, and secure data. Networking is no longer just about connectivity; strong and resilient networks are the backbone of business operations, powering everything from cloud services and mobile applications to collaboration platforms and remote workplaces.
Derive Technologies specializes in solving the toughest network challenges across all major computing environments. From cloud (private, public, and hybrid) to mobility, collaboration, and converged voice-video-data networks, we design and implement high-performance solutions that empower organizations to operate securely and efficiently.
COMMON NETWORKING CHALLENGES IN TODAY’S LANDSCAPE
Organizations face increasingly complex connectivity and security issues, especially in hybrid and remote work models. Derive helps address these real-world challenges:
Scenario 1: Poor Wireless Experience
Employees often struggle with constant wireless disconnects while roaming through office spaces. Applications fail when switching between wired and wireless networks. This directly impacts productivity and collaboration.
Scenario 2: Secure Access in Hybrid Workplaces
In the post-COVID era, organizations need to provide secure, flexible access to data and application resources for both office-based and remote staff. The challenge is to enable convenient connectivity across LAN, wireless, and VPN environments, while maintaining strict zero-trust security models.
Scenario 3: Outside-the-Box Networking Solutions
During the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals suddenly faced an unprecedented need to deliver medical services outside traditional facilities–sometimes in parking lots and temporary tents. Fast, secure, real-time access to patient data was needed, all while ensuring compliance with data security requirements.
DERIVE’S NETWORKING SOLUTIONS
Solving Scenario 1: Reliable Wireless Networks
Derive uses a phased approach to improve wireless radio frequency (RF) performance:
Phase 1: Wireless Network Site Survey. Using Ekahau Pro software, we identify RF issues such as co-channel interference and poor signal-to-noise ratios.
Phase 2: Fine-Tuning RF: Working closely with IT staff, we apply adjustments to static channel assignments, transmit power levels, disabling unnecessary radios, and much more.
Result: A secure, scalable, and high-performance wireless infrastructure that keeps employees connected and productive.
Solving Scenario 2: Secure Access with Zero-Trust
Derive delivers secure, policy-based access control across diverse environments by employing leading technologies like:
• Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE)
• Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager
These platforms enable:
• Unified wired, wireless, and VPN access control
• Device health checks and endpoint profiling
• Network segmentation to restrict unauthorized traffic flows
• Automation for provisioning resources across users and devices
By adopting a zero-trust security model, organizations can confidently support hybrid workplaces while protecting sensitive data.
Solving Scenario 3: Emergency Healthcare Network Solutions
At the onset of the pandemic, within weeks Derive developed its Emergency Network Extension System (ENES) kit—a portable “network-in-a-box” solution. By leveraging commercially available LTE cellular service, ENES securely extended hospital data networks to temporary remote locations like medical tents or outdoor facilities.
Key benefits included:
• Secure internet and VPN access for remote medical staff
• Rapid deployment without the need for extensive wired infrastructure
• Reliable real-time access to patient records and data services
This solution proved vital during the COVID-19 pandemic and remains valuable for healthcare organizations needing flexible, scalable networking for patient care.
