IT Infrastructure

Well-designed infrastructure improves performance, reduces risk, supports compliance and lets you scale without rebuilding.

Typical duration
3 weeks to 6 months
Team
Solution architect, network and systems engineers, project manager

01Overview

IT infrastructure covers all the physical and virtual components that store, process and transmit your data: networks, servers, storage, virtualization platforms and the facilities they live in. It is the backbone of every service you deliver.

We assess what you have, design what you need and build it with documented, repeatable methods. Our engineers work with VMware, Microsoft, Red Hat and Fortinet technologies and certify against vendor best practice.

02What we do

  1. 01

    IT infrastructure assessment

    An inventory and health check of your current environment that identifies bottlenecks, single points of failure and quick wins.

  2. 02

    IT infrastructure design

    A new architecture, or changes to your existing one, that meets your capacity, availability and security needs.

  3. 03

    IT infrastructure implementation

    Installation, configuration and migration, with testing and handover documentation.

  4. 04

    IT infrastructure management

    Ongoing administration, patching, capacity planning and performance monitoring.

  5. 05

    Networks & security

    LAN, WAN, Wi-Fi, SD-WAN and next-generation firewalls designed together.

  6. 06

    Virtualization & storage

    Hypervisor clusters, storage and backup platforms sized for growth.

03What you get

  • Higher availability and performance
  • Lower operating and energy costs
  • Clear documentation your team can rely on
  • Room to grow without a redesign

06Questions clients ask

Frequently asked questions

01Do you supply hardware?

Yes, through our vendor partners, or we can work with hardware you have already purchased.

02Can you work outside office hours?

Yes. Cut-overs and migrations are usually planned for evenings and weekends to avoid disruption.

03We have very little documentation. Where do we start?

With an assessment. Within two to three weeks you will have an accurate inventory, network diagrams and a list of the risks that matter most.
