Core & aggregation
Switches that carry inter-building, inter-site, and data centre traffic, sized for growth and redundancy requirements.
- 10/25/40/100G uplink options
- Redundant power and fans where appropriate
- Clear role separation from access layer
Switching & Campus Edge
Campus and access switching for real environments
We help public-sector and enterprise teams plan and deploy switching that matches how their sites actually work — wiring rooms, remote buildings, and everything in between. PoE budgets, resiliency, and lifecycle planning are built in from the start.
Network roles
Core, distribution, and access — clarified
We start by mapping where switches live in your environment and what they are responsible for. That drives which families, form factors, and power budgets make sense — and which ones do not.
Access & edge closets
Workhorse switches in wiring rooms and IDFs, supporting APs, phones, cameras, and end-user devices with appropriate PoE and uplinks.
- 24/48-port access with PoE/PoE++ options
- Stacking or MLAG where justified
- Standardized configs by closet type
Specialty & remote sites
Compact or rugged switches for small buildings, kiosks, and industrial/field environments with unique mounting or temperature needs.
- Fanless or extended-temp where needed
- Wall, DIN-rail, or tight-space mounting
- Simple templates for remote support
Switching portfolio
Representative switching options
We help you select switch families and models that align with your standards, budgets, and operational model — including stacking, PoE/PoE++, and uplink options appropriate for each site and closet. Extreme Networks and related OEMs are used where they make sense within that plan.
Access & campus switching
Access and campus switches for classrooms, offices, and public spaces, with PoE/PoE++ sized for APs, cameras, and phones.
- 24/48-port, 1G access with multi-gig where required
- PoE/PoE++ budgets planned for APs and devices
- Standardized templates per site or building type
Aggregation & core
Aggregation and core switches for tying together buildings, wiring rooms, and data centre resources, with appropriate redundancy and bandwidth.
- High-speed uplinks and modular options where needed
- Layer 3 routing and resiliency features
- Traffic paths aligned with your segmentation plan
Compact & rugged switching
Smaller and/or hardened switches for tight spaces, outdoor enclosures, and industrial/field deployments that still need managed connectivity.
- Compact form factors for kiosks and small rooms
- Extended-temperature and rugged models where required
- Integration with rugged field devices and UPS/power plans
Switching within a modernization plan
For many clients, switching is part of a broader network modernization effort that includes wireless, firewalls, and segmentation.
- Roadmaps spanning multiple fiscal years
- Standardization across buildings and sites
- Designed to support gradual, low-risk cut-overs
Design & Planning
Design that starts with closets and circuits
Our switching designs are built from the ground up: which closets exist, which circuits terminate where, and how people and applications actually move through the network.
Physical & logical inventory
We map existing switching, uplinks, and PoE loads, then align new designs with your physical constraints and logical segmentation.
- Inventory of closets, links, and device roles
- PoE planning for APs, cameras, phones, and IoT
- Uplink and stacking choices based on traffic patterns
Configuration & operational alignment
We align switch configurations with your operational model: how changes are approved, who logs in, and what tooling you already have in place.
- Baseline templates for access, distribution, and specialty roles
- Standard naming, VLAN, and segmentation conventions
- Guidelines for safe changes and rollout sequencing
Procurement & Continuity
Procurement-aware recommendations and emergency support
We write recommendations so they work within your procurement model — and we also support time-sensitive replacements when switches are already failing or end-of-life.
Procurement-aware switching recommendations
All designs come with clear bills of materials that can be used for direct purchase or as input to competitive RFQ/RFP processes.
- Bill of materials by site, closet, or phase
- Options and alternates clearly called out
- Language suitable for RFQ/RFP annexes
Dealing with aging or failing switches now?
If you have critical switches approaching end-of-life — or already causing outages — we can address urgent replacements and then fold that into a structured refresh plan.
- Short-term replacement recommendations
- Mapping quick fixes to a longer-term roadmap
- Clear communication of risks and trade-offs
Ready to plan your switching refresh?
We can start with a single building, a known problem closet, or a campus-wide review and build a practical, phased plan from there.
