InfraFabric works with clients to understand the requirement, advise on suitable platforms and devices, design the solution, configure and implement it, validate the result and document the environment before handover.
Engagements can cover the full project or a defined phase. The emphasis is on technical discovery, architecture, configuration, implementation, testing and handover.
Design and configure resilient firewall environments for internet edge, inter-site connectivity, remote access and controlled internal segmentation.
Configure access and core switching with clear segmentation, resilient uplinks, predictable failover and manageable operational standards.
Build routing that is understandable, resilient and appropriate to the scale of the environment, including multi-provider and multi-site designs.
Plan and configure the server services that the network depends on, with attention to resilience, role separation, recoverability and operational clarity.
Design and integrate Microsoft Azure with on-premises infrastructure, covering network architecture, secure hybrid connectivity, routing, security controls, compute and supporting platform services.
Integrate wireless into the wider network and security design rather than treating it as a separate island.
Design supporting platforms around workload, resilience and recovery requirements, then integrate them cleanly with server and network services.
InfraFabric can take a project from a blank page or join at a specific stage. The aim is to make technical decisions traceable back to the business requirement and leave the client with a solution they understand.
Understand the business objective, current environment, constraints, dependencies, risks, growth expectations and availability requirements.
Compare suitable on-premises and Microsoft Azure architectures, platforms, connectivity options, licensing models and support requirements, then liaise with suppliers or service providers to obtain quotes and help coordinate hardware and connectivity procurement.
Create the target architecture, addressing, segmentation, routing, policy model, resilience design, migration sequence, test plan and rollback approach.
Build the required configurations, apply changes in a controlled sequence, integrate services and manage the technical implementation.
Test expected traffic flows, routing, failover, authentication, access policy, service reachability and operational behaviour.
Produce clear as-built information, configuration records, diagrams and operational notes before ownership moves back to the client.
InfraFabric is not limited to producing diagrams and recommendations. The core service is turning the agreed design into working device and server configuration, integrating the components and proving that the environment behaves as intended.
Build high availability, policy sets, NAT, published services, VPN, SD-WAN, security profiles and routing so the edge behaves predictably in both normal operation and failure scenarios.
Configure VLANs, Layer 3 interfaces, trunks, LACP, MLAG, spanning tree, gateway redundancy, access controls, management services and authentication features.
Configure dynamic or static routing, route filtering, path preference, provider failover, site connectivity and route exchange with firewall and core environments.
Configure Windows Server roles and virtualisation platforms including directory services, DNS, DHCP, certificate services, Hyper-V, clustering and supporting infrastructure functions.
Design and configure Azure networking for hybrid environments, including hub-and-spoke or Virtual WAN architectures, ExpressRoute and VPN connectivity, NVAs, Azure Firewall, Route Server, private connectivity, routing and supporting infrastructure services.
Use InfraFabric when you need specialist design and implementation capability for a defined infrastructure outcome, whether you already have an internal IT team or simply need additional expertise for the project.
A project is not complete when the final change succeeds. The client should know what was built, why it was built that way, how it is connected logically, how it should behave and what information is needed to support it later.
Bring the requirement, the problem, an existing design or even an environment that simply needs untangling. InfraFabric can help define the right next step.
