Business networking and firewall solutions

Most office network problems — random disconnections, slow file access, unreliable internet — come from networks that grew without a plan: unmanaged switches, one flat network, and a consumer router at the edge.

  2. FirewallRules, filtering, failover
  3. Core switchManaged, VLAN aware
  • StaffPCs and printers
  • ServersERP, files, backup
  • CCTVCameras and recorder
  • GuestVisitors and phones
A segmented office network: one firewall at the edge, managed switching underneath, and separate VLANs so unrelated devices can't reach each other.

What it is

We design and fix business networks with managed switching, VLAN segmentation, a proper firewall, and monitoring.

Problems this solves

  • Frequent disconnections or slow network access
  • Guests, CCTV and office PCs all share one network
  • No control over internet usage or inbound access
  • Multiple internet lines with no failover
  • Nobody can tell where the network problem actually is

What we provide

  • Network assessment and planning
  • Managed switch deployment and configuration
  • VLAN segmentation for staff, servers, guests and CCTV
  • Firewall deployment and rule configuration
  • Multi-WAN and internet failover where supported
  • Wi-Fi planning for offices
  • Network troubleshooting and SNMP-based monitoring

How we do it

  1. Survey the networkSwitches, cabling, internet lines and what is actually connected where.
  2. Plan the segmentsWhich devices belong together, and which should never reach each other.
  3. Configure and cut overFirewall rules, VLANs and switch configuration are applied in a planned window.
  4. MonitorLink status, device health and internet availability are watched with SNMP-based monitoring.
  5. Adjust as you growNew devices, cameras or offices get added to the plan rather than plugged in anywhere.

Technologies involved

  • Managed switches
  • VLANs
  • Firewalls
  • SNMP monitoring
  • LAN / WAN
  • Structured cabling coordination

A typical requirement

A factory office where production machines, CCTV and accounts PCs all share one unmanaged network.

A business with two ISPs that still goes offline whenever one of them fails.

Common questions

Why do we need VLANs?

VLANs separate traffic, so a guest phone or CCTV recorder cannot reach your accounts server. They also make problems easier to isolate.

Can you work with our existing firewall?

Often, yes. We review what you have and tell you whether to reconfigure it or replace it.
