An efficient, resilient network, designed around how your office works
Many office networks were installed once and never revisited. There is no diagram, firmware is years out of date, and a single failed switch or cable can take the whole office offline.
What we configure, and what it prevents
| What we configure | What it prevents |
|---|---|
| Segmented networks for staff, guests, phones and devices (VLANs) | Every device sharing one flat, open network. |
| Redundant links and gateway failover (HSRP or VRRP) | One failed switch or cable taking the office offline. |
| Encrypted site-to-site links for branches (IPsec, DMVPN) | Branch offices cut off from shared files and systems. |
| Loop protection and port security (spanning tree) | A cabling loop or rogue device bringing the network down. |
| Network diagrams and automated configuration backups | Rebuilding a failed switch from memory. |
| Firmware maintenance and end-of-life planning | Unpatched equipment and surprise replacements. |
What’s included
- Network design: new offices, relocations and expansions
- Switching: VLANs, link aggregation (LACP) and stacking
- Routing: links between sites with OSPF, EIGRP or BGP
- Redundancy: designed so one failure doesn’t stop work
- Core services: IP addressing, DHCP and DNS, planned and documented
- Lifecycle: diagrams, configuration backups and firmware planning
- Platforms: hands-on experience with Cisco Catalyst, Nexus and ASR, HP/H3C and Aruba
How it’s delivered
- We document your current network: every switch, router, link and configuration.
- We design the target network and explain each change in plain language before work begins.
- We implement in a planned change window, with a tested rollback plan.
- We keep diagrams, backups and firmware current as part of ongoing support.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a CCIE, and why does it matter for a small office?
- CCIE is Cisco’s expert-level certification, and our team holds CCIE #37290 in Routing and Switching. For a small office, it means your network is designed to the standard used on large networks, by a team with 20 years of hands-on experience across bank, government, healthcare and ISP networks.
- What makes a network efficient and resilient?
- Each type of device sits on its own segment, traffic takes a direct path, and no single failure stops work. The design is also documented, so every later change is faster and more predictable. We design for those goals from the start.
- Do you only work with Cisco equipment?
- No. We have hands-on experience with Cisco, HP/H3C and Aruba switching, and we keep equipment you already own where it is sound. If hardware is past end of life, we explain the risk and plan its replacement.
- Can you connect our second office?
- Yes. We link sites with encrypted tunnels over the internet (IPsec or DMVPN) or with SD-WAN. The right design depends on the number of sites and how critical each link is.
