Single points of failure identified and eliminated.
Redundant uplinks, automatic failover paths, and high-availability configurations for business-critical environments. Your network keeps running when hardware fails.
Every layer of network resilience covered.
From redundant uplinks to power resilience, our approach covers every element that could cause a network outage.
Redundant Uplink Design
Dual uplinks from every critical switch to the distribution layer. Link aggregation and spanning tree configured to provide both redundancy and increased bandwidth. No single cable failure takes down a floor.
Failover Path Configuration
Automatic failover paths designed and tested for every critical network segment. Failover times measured in seconds, not minutes. Your business keeps running when hardware fails.
High Availability Core Design
Core and distribution switching designed for high availability using stacking, VSS, or chassis-based redundancy. No single switch failure can take down your network core.
Dual ISP Connectivity
Dual internet connections from different providers and different physical paths. Automatic failover between providers with no manual intervention required. Your internet connection stays up when one provider fails.
Power Redundancy Planning
UPS sizing, dual power supply specifications, and generator connectivity all considered in the network design. Power failure is one of the most common causes of network outages. We design it out.
Single Point of Failure Analysis
Every element of the network design reviewed for single points of failure. Each one documented with the business impact of failure and the recommended mitigation. Nothing hidden.
From availability requirements to tested failover paths.
Availability Requirements
We establish your availability requirements for every part of the network. Not every system needs the same level of resilience. We design the right level of redundancy for each area.
Single Point of Failure Mapping
Every potential single point of failure in the proposed design is identified and documented. Business impact of each failure assessed and mitigation options evaluated.
Redundancy Architecture Design
Redundant paths, failover configurations, and high-availability designs produced for every critical network element. Failover times modelled and documented.
Power and Physical Resilience
UPS sizing, dual power supply requirements, and physical path diversity all designed in. Power and physical resilience are as important as network protocol redundancy.
Failover Testing Plan
A documented failover testing plan produced as part of the design. Every redundant path tested during commissioning to verify it works before the network goes live.
Monitoring and Alerting Design
Monitoring configured to alert on the loss of any redundant path before it becomes an outage. You know about a failed uplink before it causes a problem.
How we have helped UK businesses stay online.
Financial Services High Availability
A Leeds financial services firm had experienced two network outages in 12 months, each costing thousands of pounds in lost productivity and missed trades.
Full resilience audit conducted. Redundant core switching, dual ISP connectivity, and UPS upgrades designed and deployed. Zero unplanned outages in the 18 months following.
Healthcare Network Resilience
A Manchester healthcare provider needed their clinical systems network redesigned to meet NHS connectivity standards and eliminate the single points of failure causing regular disruptions.
Fully redundant network architecture designed and deployed. NHS connectivity standards met. Clinical systems available 99.97% of the time in the year following deployment.
Manufacturing Production Network
A Birmingham manufacturer had production line control systems on a network with no redundancy. Any network failure stopped production and cost thousands per hour.
Fully redundant production network designed with sub-second failover. Production line control systems isolated on a dedicated resilient network. Zero production stoppages due to network failure.
Eliminate single points of failure before they cause an outage.
Our network architects will design a resilient architecture with documented failover paths, tested redundancy, and monitoring that alerts you before problems become outages.
