IT infrastructure assessment
An inventory and health check of your current environment that identifies bottlenecks, single points of failure and quick wins.
Engineering & operations
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
Overview
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.
What we do
IT infrastructure design
A new architecture, or changes to your existing one, that meets your capacity, availability and security needs.
IT infrastructure implementation
Installation, configuration and migration, with testing and handover documentation.
IT infrastructure management
Ongoing administration, patching, capacity planning and performance monitoring.
Networks & security
LAN, WAN, Wi-Fi, SD-WAN and next-generation firewalls designed together.
Virtualization & storage
Hypervisor clusters, storage and backup platforms sized for growth.
What you get

Questions clients ask
Frequently asked questions
Do you supply hardware?
Yes, through our vendor partners, or we can work with hardware you have already purchased.
Can you work outside office hours?
Yes. Cut-overs and migrations are usually planned for evenings and weekends to avoid disruption.
We 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.
