Network design
Network design services for secure, resilient enterprises
We design networks that stay up, scale with the business and limit how far an attacker can move. From a single campus to hundreds of branches, you get an architecture, a bill of materials and a phased plan your team can approve and fund.

Why it matters
Most networks grow by accident
Networks tend to grow one project at a time. A new site here, a wireless upgrade there, an acquisition that never got fully integrated. The result is often a flat network with inconsistent configurations, single points of failure and little separation between users, servers and critical systems.
Our network architecture consulting starts with how the business works: where people are, which applications matter, what can’t go down and what compliance requires. Then we design the network to match, with segmentation and resilience built in from the start instead of patched on later.
What’s included
Network design and architecture services
Network assessment
A review of topology, configurations, performance, lifecycle status and security controls, with a prioritized findings list.
Campus and branch design
Switching, routing, wireless and site standards that make new locations predictable to build and support.
WAN and SD-WAN architecture
WAN design across internet, private circuits and cellular backup, with application-aware SD-WAN policies.
Segmentation and firewall design
Segments for users, servers, guests, OT and payment systems, with firewall policy that controls traffic between them.
Wireless design
Coverage and capacity planning, authentication and guest access for offices, warehouses and plants.
Data center network design
Resilient core and data center designs, including connectivity to cloud platforms and recovery sites.
How it works
From assessment to a network you can build
Discover and assess
We gather requirements, review your current network and document risks, bottlenecks and end-of-life hardware.
Design
We produce high-level and detailed designs with diagrams, IP and VLAN plans, security policy and a bill of materials.
Plan the build
We sequence the work into phases with cutover plans and rollback steps, so the business keeps running during changes.
Build and hand over
Our professional services engineers can deploy the design, and our managed network team can run it afterward.
Deliverables
What you get
Case study
A new network and disaster recovery site for a golf manufacturer
After a spin-off from its parent company, a global golf manufacturer needed its own secure, fast network to support production and distribution, delivered on budget with limited staff.
We re-architected the existing network while it kept running around the clock, reusing existing infrastructure where it made sense, and designed a highly available disaster recovery site connected over a secured WAN.
