Network design & architecture
A network that has grown one switch at a time usually works until the day it does not. CNSS designs infrastructure with a documented architecture: clear layers, deliberate segmentation, redundancy where it matters and room to grow without a rebuild. For larger environments that includes modern fabrics such as VXLAN EVPN.
What CNSS delivers
Campus, LAN and WAN architecture, routing, switching, VLANs, segmentation, high availability and modernization, designed to scale with the organization.
Campus and branch LAN architecture: core, distribution and access layers
WAN, internet and multi-site routing design
VLAN architecture, IP addressing and network segmentation
High availability and redundancy: link aggregation, first-hop redundancy, dual-homed uplinks, controller HA
Enterprise wireless integrated with the wired design
Network modernization and infrastructure lifecycle planning
Enterprise fabrics such as VXLAN EVPN, including multi-site designs
Documentation: topology diagrams, configuration standards and change records
When to call
- The network has grown organically and nobody has a current diagram
- A new building, office move or expansion is planned
- Outages or slowdowns cannot be traced to a single cause
- Switches or routers are reaching end of life and the replacement should fix the design too
Deliverables
- Architecture document with topology, addressing and segmentation plan
- Bill of materials and phased implementation plan
- Configuration standards for switches and routers
- As-built documentation after implementation
Technologies
- Cisco Catalyst
- Arista
- Juniper
- HPE Aruba Networking
- Ubiquiti
- Netgear
- VXLAN EVPN
- BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, IS-IS
