When the cheaper box is the right box
Not every site needs a next-generation firewall with a full subscription bundle. If a smaller model and tighter segmentation gets you there, the quote will say so — and the saving is yours.
Solutions
Everything between the internet
Everything between the internet
and the last access point.
Four capability areas. Buy one of them or all four — but they are designed to fit together, because a firewall that nobody segments behind is an expensive router.
01 — Infrastructure
Network infrastructure supply
Sizing first, catalogue second. We survey the site, count what actually connects, measure what the uplink really carries, and then specify.
Routing & switching
- Branch and campus routers
- Layer 2 / Layer 3 switching
- PoE budgeting for phones, cameras and APs
- Optics, stacking and uplinks
Wireless
- Wi-Fi 6 / 6E design and survey
- Controller or cloud-managed
- Separate SSIDs per trust level
- Coverage validated after install
Resilience
- Dual WAN with tested failover
- UPS sizing for the rack
- Spare-unit strategy
- End-of-life tracking per model
Equipment is sourced through legitimate distribution channels with full manufacturer warranty.
02 — Security
Firewalls, segmentation and secure access
The part that decides whether an incident stays in one VLAN or reaches everything. Configured to least privilege on day one, because nobody comes back to tighten it later.
Perimeter
- Next-generation firewall deployment
- Application-aware policy, not port rules
- Inbound publishing done safely
- Logging that survives an audit
Segmentation
- VLAN design per trust level
- East-West control between segments
- Guest and IoT fully isolated
- Layer 2 hardening: DAI, DHCP snooping, port security
Remote access
- SSL VPN and IPsec site-to-site
- Access tied to role, not to a flat tunnel
- MFA enforced on every entry point
- ZTNA / SASE migration path
03 — Delivery
Design and deployment
The design exists on paper before anything is racked, and you keep that paper. A network nobody documented is a network nobody can fix.
Before
- Site survey and traffic baseline
- Addressing and VLAN plan
- Low-level design document
- Cutover runbook with rollback
During
- Staged migration, out of hours where possible
- Configuration under version control
- Validation tests per device
- Nothing goes live untested
After
- Documentation and diagrams handed over
- Credentials transferred to you
- Handover session with your team
- 30-day post-cutover check
04 — Support
Support and monitoring
Most of the value of an install shows up in month seven, when something breaks and somebody has to know how it was built.
Monitoring
- Link, device and tunnel availability
- Alerting to a human, not a dashboard
- Capacity trends reviewed quarterly
- Log retention advice
Maintenance
- Firmware and CVE tracking for your fleet
- Scheduled patch windows
- Configuration backup and restore tests
- Change log kept per site
Response
- Defined response windows, in writing
- Remote first, on-site when needed
- Escalation path to the manufacturer
- Quarterly configuration review
Straight answers
What we will tell you before you ask.
What the renewal really costs
Security appliances carry subscription costs that often exceed the hardware over three years. Those figures appear in the first quote, not in year two.
Where the equipment comes from
Genuine, manufacturer-warranted equipment through legitimate distribution. Grey-market kit is cheaper and is not supportable; we will not quote it.
Who owns the configuration
You do. Credentials, configuration files and documentation are handed over at the end of every project. Nothing about the design requires you to keep calling us.
Next step
Send us the requirement. We will send back a design and a number.
Site count, user count, what has to keep running and by when. That is enough to start — the survey fills in the rest.
