Enterprise network consulting
What does enterprise network consulting do when the network holds the company back? It finds the cause of outages, segments, adds redundancy to internet and branches, and documents everything. We work with your IT team to fix serious problems without stopping operations.

When a company calls us, there is almost always a problem already hurting operations. These are the most common. Good enterprise network consulting goes after the cause first.
Symptom
Outages that stop the business
The network fails, the business stops and nobody finds the root cause.
How we fix itWe audit and fix the cause, not just the symptom.
Audit and documentationSymptom
A flat network with no segmentation
Every device sees every other: a security incident spreads unchecked.
How we fix itWe segment by area and enforce firewall policies.
Network securitySymptom
A single internet link
If the provider fails, sales, cloud apps and phones go down.
How we fix itWe design dual provider redundancy with automatic failover.
Engineering and architectureSymptom
Poorly connected branches
Branches rely on unstable VPNs and each one is configured differently.
How we fix itWe standardize the WAN and site to site VPNs.
Design and implementationSymptom
An IT team without network specialists
IT handles everything, and the network only gets attention when it breaks.
How we fix itWe back your team with senior network engineering.
Engineering and architectureSymptom
No network backups or logs
A failed device or a bad change cannot be rolled back.
How we fix itWe set up automatic backups and central syslog.
Syslog and backupsWhat does a well designed enterprise network look like?
An enterprise network withstands failures when it has two exits, a redundant core and areas separated by function.
- Two internet providers with automatic failover keep the business running if one fails.
- Separating areas, guests and critical systems limits the reach of any incident.
- Branches built from the same configuration template are easier to run and to audit.

Enterprise network consulting: frequently asked questions
When should a company hire enterprise network consulting?
When the network affects operations, before a major investment, during a migration, or when the IT team has no network specialists.
What does an enterprise network audit include?
Inventory, topology, configuration and security review, redundancy, monitoring and a findings report with priorities and recommendations.
How do you segment a company network?
Areas, servers, guests and critical systems go into separate VLANs or zones, and firewall policies control traffic between them.
How do you make the internet connection redundant?
With two providers, ideally over different physical paths, and automatic failover. Large enterprises use BGP and their own addresses.
How do you connect branches securely?
With encrypted VPN or SD-WAN, identical templates at each site, central monitoring and a backup plan if the primary link fails.
How much does an hour of downtime cost a company?
According to ITIC's 2024 survey, over 90% of mid-size and large enterprises put it above $300,000 per hour. The real cost depends on each business.
