Network Consultant jobs

Network consultants are responsible for providing knowledgeable advice and guidance to clients about the best technology solutions for their needs. Working in the IT industry, individuals in this role need to keep up to date with the latest hardware, software and networking technologies. Network consultants typically start off by identifying client requirements - from troubleshooting existing systems to planning and designing new ones. They may work with clients to assess any technology gaps they have, and create appropriate upgrades and solutions. These consultants can then offer expert advice and implement new networks, develop online backup strategies, advise on security measures and carry out routine maintenance. Network consultants must possess a broad set of technical skills, such as advanced understanding of Windows server and desktop systems, Linux and UNIX, routers, firewalls and SQL databases.
