BUSINESS / NETWORKING

Network architecture and design

Translate business requirements into a network that can grow and recover from failures.

What’s involved

Define users, sites, applications, traffic patterns, security zones, availability targets, and budget. Produce logical and physical designs, equipment sizing, addressing, routing, and a phased migration approach.

What you receive

A design document, bill of materials, implementation schedule, acceptance criteria, and rollback strategy.

When it helps

New offices, major refreshes, acquisitions, or changes in application hosting.

Planning your business service

Business solutions should be understandable, manageable, and appropriate to the size of your team. We focus on the services your staff depend on, the problems affecting their work, and improvements that fit your budget.

  • Confirm the number of users, important applications, premises constraints, and the available budget.
  • Agree any work that could interrupt trading, calling, payments, or access to shared systems.

Agreeing the scope and handover

Work can be arranged as a focused review, an implementation project, troubleshooting, or agreed ongoing support. Hardware, subscriptions, provider services, and any site attendance are confirmed separately in the scope.

IN PRACTICE

A real-world example

Design headquarters and five branches with redundant connectivity and separate employee, guest, and server networks.
