Network Design & Implementation
Layer 2 and Layer 3 network architecture designed for growth, segmented for security, and documented so your team can actually run it.
The problem
Most networks that cause problems weren't designed — they accumulated. A switch added here, a VLAN bolted on there, until nobody can say with confidence what talks to what.
That flat, undocumented network is what turns a single compromised workstation into a company-wide outage, and it is why performance problems take days to isolate instead of minutes.
What's included
- Layer 3 routed core and distribution design with Cisco Catalyst and Nexus
- VLAN segmentation and inter-VLAN routing strategy
- Dynamic routing (OSPF, BGP, EIGRP) and redundancy with HSRP/VRRP
- Access layer switching, PoE budgeting for phones and APs
- Spanning-tree design that fails predictably instead of catastrophically
- QoS policy for voice and video traffic
- As-built topology documentation and IP address management
How we work
Assess, design, implement, support
- 01
Assess
We document what you actually have — not what the last as-built says you have.
- 02
Design
A written design with the reasoning behind each decision, priced before work starts.
- 03
Implement
Phased cutovers with rollback plans. No single high-risk night.
- 04
Support
Documentation, knowledge transfer, and ongoing support at whatever level you need.
Network Design: common questions
How long does a network redesign take?
A typical single-site redesign runs four to eight weeks from assessment to cutover. Multi-site rollouts depend on circuit lead times, which are frequently the longest pole in the tent in Wyoming. We phase cutovers so there is no single high-risk night.
Do we have to replace all our hardware?
Usually not. We start with an assessment of what you own, and reuse anything still under support that fits the design. Replacement recommendations come with the reasoning — end of support, insufficient throughput, or a feature gap — not a blanket refresh.
Can you work with our existing IT staff?
Yes, and it's the arrangement we prefer. We design and implement, your team operates, and we document to the level your team needs to take it over. We also do knowledge-transfer sessions at handoff.
