Upgrade Existing Network
Network upgrades aren’t just about satisfying needs for today, but also for a reasonable time in the future. Sufficient capacity planning should be performed to identify what’s needed. By accurately collecting network usage metrics and creating an accurate baseline, data can be used to project future growth to ensure that an upgrade performed today will be usable for years to come.

Perform a Site Survey on Existing Network Infrastructure
A site survey allows your company to review what equipment you already have on site and takes into consideration your business’ projected growth. This allows you to plan a network upgrade that is not just to fulfil your current needs, but also your future needs.
Planning Ahead
It’s important to plan ahead when coming up with a network infrastructure upgrade project plan. Something could go wrong, or the upgrade could take longer than expected. You should also have a backup plan. This is a detailed procedure on how to continue business operations in case your equipment replacement fails or if your software update isn’t complete in time.
Backing Up Your Data
It is crucial to backup all your company data before you upgrade any part of your network infrastructure. Companies should always be backing up their data regardless, and you may already be working off of cloud-based software that automatically backs up your data.
Upgrade the Network After Hours
Never implement your network infrastructure upgrade or maintenance during peak business hours. After work hours or, for more complex and time consuming upgrades, the weekends are best for installing new equipment and upgrading software. This ensures a longer maintenance window and allows time to test your network upgrade with minimal to no interruptions to your business operations.
