Switching and Routing

Switching and routing

The layer where a bad config costs you all day

Core and access switching, routing, VLAN and segmentation design, WAN and SD-WAN, and the configuration standards that stop one change breaking three sites.

Backed up
every config, versioned
What we do

Design, configure, migrate, operate

  • Core, distribution and access switching — stacked or chassis, sized to the real load
  • Routing between sites, data centres and cloud, including dynamic routing where it earns its place
  • VLAN and segmentation design that matches the security zones, not just the floor plan
  • WAN and SD-WAN across multiple Egyptian sites and international links
  • High availability: redundant uplinks, spanning tree done properly, first-hop redundancy
  • Quality of service for voice and video that actually holds under congestion
  • Configuration standards, change control and automated config backup
Migration

Changing a live network without stopping the business

Most switching work is a migration, not a green field. That is a different discipline.

Cutover plan

Written, sequenced and rehearsed, with a rollback point at every step and an agreed window.

Parallel running

Where the topology allows, old and new run side by side so the switchover is a patch move, not a leap.

On site on the night

Our engineers do the cutover. Not a subcontractor you meet for the first time at 11pm.

Morning after

We stay through the first working morning, because that is when the problems nobody predicted appear.

Before you ask

Common questions

Are you tied to one vendor?

No. We are a Cisco partner and a Fortinet partner and work with HPE, TP-Link Omada and others. The design decides the vendor.

Can you take over an existing estate?

Yes. We start by documenting what is actually there, which is usually the first time anyone has.

Do you manage it afterwards?

Yes, as part of Managed IT Services — monitoring, configuration control, firmware and change management.

Do you handle the ISP side too?

We coordinate with the carriers, test the circuits and hold them to the SLA on your behalf.

Tell us what breaks.

If the network drops, slows at the same time every day, or nobody can explain the topology, that is where we start.
