What's Included

🌐

Multi-Site WAN & SD-WAN Architecture

Design WAN connectivity between all your sites — MPLS, SD-WAN, or internet-based VPN — with routing architecture, failover paths, and QoS policy recommendations.

🏢

Data Centre & Server Room Topology

Full data centre network design including core/distribution/access layer architecture, server rack topology, storage networking, and out-of-band management design.

📡

Campus LAN & Wireless Design

Structured campus LAN design with access, distribution, and core layers. Wireless network planning including SSID segmentation, controller placement, and roaming architecture.

🛡️

Security Zone Segmentation & DMZ Design

Enterprise security zones including internet-facing DMZ, internal zones by trust level, guest network isolation, and a management plane separate from production traffic.

☁️

Cloud Connectivity & Hybrid Network Design

Connect your on-premises network to AWS, Azure, or GCP — Direct Connect, ExpressRoute, or IPSec VPN — with hybrid routing architecture and security policy alignment.

📚

Full As-Built Documentation & Runbooks

Complete documentation package: topology diagrams for each site, IP addressing scheme, VLAN register, firewall zone matrix, and operational runbooks for your network team.

Basic Network vs Enterprise-Grade Design

AspectBasic / Ad-Hoc NetworkEnterprise-Grade Design
RedundancySingle points of failure — no redundant links or failover pathsDual uplinks, failover routing, and documented recovery procedures
Security ZoningFlat or minimally segmented — all traffic on shared VLANsMulti-zone architecture with explicit trust boundaries and firewall enforcement
ScalabilityDesigned for current size — adding sites or users requires redesignScalable addressing and routing architecture — new sites follow a defined template
Compliance ReadinessNo documentation of controls — difficult to evidence complianceSecurity zones and controls documented and mapped to compliance requirements
Operational DocumentationMinimal or absent — institutional knowledge in engineers' headsAs-built diagrams, IP plan, runbooks — maintainable by any competent engineer

Frequently Asked Questions

What is enterprise network design?

Enterprise network design is the structured process of planning a network architecture that meets the scalability, redundancy, security, and operational requirements of a large organisation. It covers WAN connectivity between sites, data centre and server room topology, campus LAN design, security zone definition, and cloud or hybrid integration — all documented to operational standards.

How do you design a multi-site network?

Multi-site network design starts with understanding the traffic flows between sites, application dependencies, and connectivity requirements. We then design the WAN topology — MPLS, SD-WAN, or internet-based VPN — define the routing and failover architecture, standardise the LAN design across sites, and document everything with site-specific diagrams and a centralised IP addressing plan.

Do you provide ongoing network documentation updates?

Yes. We offer ongoing documentation maintenance engagements where we update your as-built diagrams and documentation as your network changes — new sites, infrastructure changes, or cloud additions. This ensures your documentation remains accurate and your operations team always has a reliable reference.
