Solution Architecture

Designs you can build, operate and defend in an audit.

We turn business requirements into network and security architectures, with the documents, bills of materials and migration paths needed to deliver them.

The challenge

What goes wrong without a documented design.

Without agreed requirements, a documented target architecture and a realistic migration path, a project starts on assumptions and runs into surprises in budget, schedule and security.

What we deliver

From requirements to a design everyone signs.

Requirements gathering

Structured interviews with IT, facilities, security and site management, consolidated into a signed-off requirements document.

Current-state assessment

Audit of topology, routing, switching, security and hardware lifecycle across your sites.

High-level design (HLD)

Target architecture, design principles, redundancy and security zones.

Low-level design (LLD)

Device placement, port assignments, VLAN/IP schema, cabling runs and labelling convention.

Bill of materials

Active equipment, optics, power and small materials, cross-checked against the audit before ordering.

Migration strategy

A phased path from current to target state, with risks, downtime windows and rollback points.

RFQ and vendor evaluation

Technical specifications and evaluation criteria for contractors and vendors, with technical comparison of offers.

Hardware on request

Equipment sourced against the approved bill of materials, when you prefer a single point of contact.

FAQ

Common questions

Which vendors do you design for?

We work across Fortinet, Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Check Point, Aruba and others, and recommend what fits your requirements and your existing estate.

Can you design it and let our team implement?

Yes. The low-level design is written so your team or a contractor can implement it. We can also deliver it ourselves.

Can you supply the hardware?

On request, sourced against the approved bill of materials.

Is security part of the design?

Security zones, access control and hardening are designed in from the start and documented for audit.

Starting something new?

Get the architecture right before the budget is spent.
