Networks that grew site by site end up with as many designs as there are sites. Every change takes longer, every incident needs the one person who remembers why it was built that way, and new requirements such as segmentation or cloud access no longer fit.
We start from the business requirements and constraints, define a small set of design principles and turn those into a reference architecture. Every decision is recorded with its reason, so the design can be defended, audited and changed later.
Typical deliverables
- Reference architecture and design principles
- High-Level Design (HLD) and Low-Level Design (LLD)
- Technology and vendor evaluation
- Design authority and review board support
