Architecture

One network, three resilient tiers

We design from the edge inward — connectivity, security, switching, wireless, compute, storage, backup and full-stack observability — every layer redundant, segmented and observable.

Common questions

Networks and infrastructure, answered

SD-WAN or MPLS — which is right for a multi-site business?

For most multi-branch rollouts SD-WAN wins on cost and agility, particularly in the five to twenty site range, where dual broadband with intelligent path selection delivers very high availability at a fraction of MPLS pricing — commonly 25% cheaper like-for-like and 60–70% cheaper where circuits move to broadband and 5G. MPLS still earns its place where you need contractual latency guarantees for voice, video or real-time systems. A hybrid design, with MPLS retained only at critical sites, usually captures most of the saving without the risk.

Should we refresh our on-premise servers or move everything to cloud?

Rarely all of one or the other. Workloads with steady, predictable load, heavy local data gravity or hard residency constraints often remain cheaper and simpler on-premise; variable, bursty or globally accessed workloads usually belong in cloud. The honest test is total cost over the refresh cycle, including power, cooling, licensing and the staff time to run it — not the hardware quote alone. We model both before recommending either.

How do we choose between SAN, NAS and hyperconverged storage?

By workload profile rather than brand. NAS suits file shares and departmental data; SAN suits latency-sensitive block workloads such as databases and virtualisation at scale; hyperconverged collapses compute and storage into one cluster and suits mid-sized estates that want fewer moving parts and simpler expansion. Whichever you choose, capacity planning matters less than the recovery objectives — how much data you can afford to lose and how quickly you must be back.

We already have a firewall. Isn't that enough?

A perimeter firewall stops the wrong thing from getting in; it does very little once something is already inside. Flat internal networks are why a single compromised laptop can reach the finance server and the CCTV recorder alike. Segmentation — separating user devices, servers, guest Wi-Fi, IoT and building systems into controlled zones — is what limits the blast radius, and it is usually achievable with equipment you already own.

Do we need Wi-Fi 6E or 7, or is Wi-Fi 6 sufficient?

Wi-Fi 6 is sufficient for most offices. The case for 6E and 7 is density and interference — large open floors, auditoriums, warehouses and sites where the 5GHz band is already congested, and access to 6GHz genuinely changes behaviour. We survey first, because an unnecessary refresh is an expensive way to solve what is often a cabling, placement or channel-planning problem.

Do you handle structured cabling and office fit-out?

Yes — structured cabling, fibre backbones, data centre and rack cabling, containment and labelling, through to testing and certification. It is the least glamorous part of the stack and the reason a surprising number of intermittent faults exist. On fit-outs we coordinate directly with the contractor so containment and cable routes are agreed before the ceiling closes.

Can you work with our existing Cisco, Fortinet or Aruba equipment?

Yes. We are vendor-neutral and multi-vendor by design, and much of our work extends or remediates existing estates rather than replacing them. We will also tell you plainly where hardware is end-of-support, because running unsupported kit is a risk decision your business should take knowingly. Where visibility is the real problem, network monitoring usually costs a fraction of a refresh and answers the question properly.
