Network Architecture and Engineering, in plain terms.
Design, review, and hands-on implementation. The same engineers writing the design are the ones who pick up the phone when a route flaps. We work across service provider, data center, and enterprise edge networks — BGP for the outside, OSPF or IS-IS for the inside, MPLS or segment routing where it earns its complexity.
We have been operating AS54098 since 2011, which means our designs are shaped by real peering, real upstreams, and real failure modes — not vendor reference diagrams. That experience shows up in the route policy, the failure domains, and the maintenance windows we plan around your business, not around our calendar.
Most engagements start with a written review of what you have, including configs, peering, and policy. From there we either hand the design back with a plan your team can execute, or we stage and cut it over ourselves. We document every change and we leave the network in a state your next engineer can read.
Common triggers for this engagement.
- 01You are taking over a network from a vendor or a departed engineer and need an honest assessment
- 02You are adding a second upstream, a new peering session, or a new POP and want the policy right the first time
- 03Convergence times or route leaks are hurting and you need a senior set of eyes on the design
- 04You are building or rebuilding a data center fabric and want it designed by someone who has run one
Questions teams ask before signing.
Do you work on both service provider and enterprise networks?
Yes. The protocols are the same; the policy and the constraints are different. We are equally comfortable designing a carrier edge and a multi-site enterprise WAN, and we say so plainly when an enterprise design is overreaching toward carrier complexity.
Which vendors do you have hands-on experience with?
Juniper, Cisco, Arista, and Nokia primarily, with working experience on MikroTik and white-box NOS platforms. We are not a single-vendor shop and we will tell you when a vendor is wrong for the problem.
Can you implement, or only design?
Both. Many clients want a written design they can execute internally. Others want us to stage, cut over, and document. We do not hand off a design we would not be willing to implement ourselves.
Frequently scoped alongside this work.
IP Transit (BGP)
Full BGP transit on AS54098 with direct peering at Hurricane Electric and transit through GTT into the rest of the Tier-1 fabric. Bring your own ASN and prefixes — we handle the policy and the on-call.
Specialized Network Services
Point-to-point circuits, L2VPN, and the odd cross-connect that doesn't have a marketing page. Built for the architectures vendors push back on.
Custom Server Deployments
Bare-metal spec, procurement, and deployment for GPU clusters, storage servers, and edge appliances. We have shipped from a single 1U through 40U-plus buildouts.
24/7 NOC
Eyes on your network around the clock, run by the engineers who write the runbooks. Pages routed to humans, not a ticket queue — for incidents that need a real person at 3 a.m.
