You've Come a Long Way!

Remember the days when Ethernet seemed exotically futuristic and bandwidth was measured only in bytes? Data Networking has come a long way. Today’s ubiquitous connectivity and real-time terabyte trading have revealed Data Networking as a tremendous source of competitive advantage for Carousel customers.

It’s not just about getting your info from here to there anymore, either. Wireless and mobility options, virtualization, and security best-practices have all grown to merit "must consider" status when designing, upgrading, or simply healthily maintaining your data network solution.

Carousel Data Networking Specialists understand how to best leverage the nuances of each of these critical elements so that all levels of the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model form a holistic and harmonious ecosystem for your critical information assets. Our end-to-end design, implementation and support services are backed by the highest levels of partner certification from the top network technology companies.

Carousel data networking solutions generate business benefits which can transform your communications experience and help your business reach its true potential. Explore our offerings below – you’ll go a long way!

Data Networking Solution Partners

Data Differentiators

Carousel solutions are designed to make your data networking more cost-effective while maintaining superior service levels. Our behind-the-scenes differentiators leverage Carousel’s in-house expertise and dedication to customer satisfaction.

Ideology of Resource Investment

Traditional data integrators employ one or two specialists per technology in an effort to keep costs low and efficiency high. Unfortunately this means those two people are the only ones who can architect and design to that manufacturer, keeping service slow and customer wait times high!

Carousel takes the opposite approach – we proactively train our Engineers in multiple technical consulting engagements and solution components. So we offer the same depth as the actual manufacturer while employing more hands in the field. We are the front-line service organization with the engineering and support capacity to add value throughout the sales cycle.

Technology Onboarding Evaluation Process

Carousel’s Onboarding Process ensures that our portfolio reflects the highest industry standards. Our Technical Council performs technical, competitive and industry reviews. We then analyze whether the proposed technology eases our customers’ pain points or applies to a specific vertical market.

Finally, a financial evaluation determines affordability to our customer base. Each technology must pass all of our strict criteria to be onboarded into our portfolio.

Data Certifications and Ongoing Training

Carousel’s Pre, Post, NOC and Service Delivery Specialists are skilled in all layers of the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model from Layer 1’s baseline physical infrastructure to Layer 7’s applications and end-user processes.

Our consultative approach examines every layer, incorporating the most suitable technologies and hardware available to provide information-exchange between the appropriate media for your business needs.

Key Business Benefits

Your data network is like the veins and arteries in your body – one clog can be fatal. Carousel provides an array of products and services designed to keep the information flowing – day and night.

Easy Collaboration - Users can easily share information and applications between desktops, laptops and handheld devices, facilitating information flow and management. Users typically collaborate around content, but making sure the content is easily available via all communications mechanisms is sometimes overlooked. Carousel Engineers design our solutions to ensure appropriate levels of bandwidth and other resources are available for all types of data.

Ubiquitous Access - Cloud-based design gives users and administrators ubiquitous access to the resources you need, when you need them. Global access to centralized resources such as printers, servers, hardware and other subscribers, can facilitate your communications and reduce extraneous hardware expenditures.

Enterprise-Wide Visibility and Management - Network Administrators have a bird’s eye view from a physical and logical perspective, streamlining resource administration, monitoring and management. More than ever, a centrally located group of Engineers can manage, administer, monitor and respond to troubles that emanate from a diverse global network.

Data Security and Management - Centralized servers can host corporate data to be conveniently accessed by approved network users. Data can also be backed up on a regular basis. Centralization of bulk storage optimizes allocation of drive space and allows for an overall reduction in the amount of data stored by eliminating redundant documents, messages, and other non-critical content.

Reporting Capabilities - Network Administrators have access to centralized logs reflecting enterprise-wide activity. Reporting on usage of applications and other network resources from a centralized location allows for one-stop reporting on a user’s use patterns and needs across the organization’s network.

Remote Accessibility - One of the greatest challenges facing businesses today is to provide remote access to communications capabilities, applications and related data while managing to simultaneously shore up compliance with PCI, HIPAA, and other applicable requirements. Carousel Engineers are skilled in crafting a remote access solution which supports your strategic business objectives.

Enhanced Security - Secure VPN technology provides an extra level of security for remote users. Some applications can be made to work remotely, securely, and without a VPN. Some businesses find SSL-based VPNs work best. Some businesses are attempting to allow users to work from home, some enabling a mobile workforce, others connecting remote sites or partners, vendors or customers. Whatever the need, there is a VPN solution that will allow cost effective, secure remote access to only those pieces of your data that are relevant, all the while logging who accesses what, from where, and why.

Smarter Resource Allocation - Administrators have control over user access, privacy and administrative privileges. Now the enterprise can decide which workstations users can log in to, what other resources are accessible from that workstation, and what other types of content are available. The administrator has full control over all aspects of the user experience including what applications the user can use and the appearance of the workstation itself.
