This is my cry for help.
My function in the company where I work (and I have been working here less than 3 months) is a system administrator for a software suite. I am not a network guy and know only a little about them. I am not sure I am even posting this in the correct forum! We are going to access files from another site that is in another state via our WAN.
I have doubts that when we go “live” with a new project, that our WAN may not have enough bandwidth to support the effort. The issue about getting more bandwidth is highly political in our organization and I cannot ask senior management unless we have solid metrics to support my doubts. We have a network team but I am somewhat removed from them. However, I believe they are willing to help if I ask them to provide “x, y, and z”.
I don’t know where to start on this but I now believe it my job to come up with some answers on this issue and fast.
Can anyone provide me with a “road map” on what to look for, or what tests to perform?
Thanks in advance,
GGleason
