Data Center Networking
High-performance, automated fabrics engineered for modern infrastructure.
Full-lifecycle data-centre networking services — architecture, deployment, migration, integration, automation, observability, support, and managed operations. Resilient spine-leaf and EVPN-VXLAN fabrics deliver predictable, low-latency connectivity for compute, storage, virtualization, private cloud, and container platforms on Cisco Nexus, Cisco ACI, Arista EOS, Juniper QFX, Dell PowerSwitch, and NVIDIA Spectrum.
Non-blocking, standards-based, and multi-vendor.
Cisco Nexus / ACI, Arista, Juniper, Dell, NVIDIA.
IaC, streaming telemetry, and assurance.
What we deliver
Network strategy & architecture
Workload-led network strategy covering fabric topology, bandwidth requirements, resilience posture, and integration with compute, storage, virtualization, and cloud platforms.
Spine-leaf fabric design
Non-blocking spine-leaf topologies on Cisco Nexus, Arista EOS, Juniper QFX, Dell PowerSwitch, and NVIDIA Spectrum — sized for east-west traffic and predictable performance.
EVPN-VXLAN & overlay networks
Standards-based EVPN-VXLAN control planes for multi-tenant fabrics, workload mobility, and Layer-2 extension where required, delivered on supported platforms.
Routing & switching
Enterprise routing and switching design with BGP, OSPF, and ECMP, hardened control plane, high availability, and integration with cloud on-ramps.
Intent-based & software-defined networking
Policy-driven SDN fabrics using Cisco ACI and Juniper Apstra with centralised management, intent validation, and consistent enforcement.
Data center interconnect
Metro and long-distance DCI designs for stretched clusters, disaster recovery, and multi-site workloads with resilient transport and controlled failover behaviour.
Storage networking
Fibre Channel, FC-NVMe, iSCSI, and NVMe-over-TCP fabrics engineered for storage performance, resilience, and integration with SAN, NAS, and HCI platforms.
Network segmentation & security
Macro and microsegmentation, east-west policy enforcement, and integration with next-generation firewalls and Zero Trust segmentation platforms.
Network automation
Infrastructure as Code, Ansible, Terraform, and vendor automation tooling for repeatable, versioned, and auditable network change.
Observability & assurance
Streaming telemetry, flow analytics, and network assurance platforms for proactive fault detection, capacity planning, and change validation.
Why teams call us
- Legacy fabrics constrain modern workloads
Traditional core-aggregation-access designs bottleneck the east-west traffic patterns generated by virtualization, storage, and container platforms.
- Configuration drift and inconsistency
Hand-edited configurations across switches create subtle differences that surface as intermittent outages during change or failover.
- Undersized storage and compute fabrics
Back-end networks were sized for older platforms and become the primary bottleneck as all-flash and NVMe storage is introduced.
- Fragile site-to-site connectivity
Data-centre interconnect uses stretched constructs without clear failover behaviour, complicating disaster recovery and site maintenance.
Our approach
A modern fabric practice — spine-leaf, EVPN-VXLAN, intent-based networking, segmentation, and automation — engineered for resilience, scale, and consistent operations.
- Assess
Traffic and topology assessment, configuration and compliance review, storage and compute integration analysis, and gap analysis against target objectives.
- Design
Target fabric architecture, spine-leaf sizing, EVPN-VXLAN overlay, segmentation model, DCI, and phased delivery roadmap.
- Implement
Standardized builds, staged rollout alongside legacy where required, controlled workload cutovers, and validated integration with compute and storage.
- Manage
Ongoing monitoring, configuration compliance, firmware updates, and periodic performance and capacity reviews.
End-to-End IT Integration and Support
From assessment and solution design through implementation, remediation, ongoing support, and lifecycle optimization.
Fix What's Broken — Remediation Sprints
Ageing servers, storage under pressure, virtualization sprawl, Kubernetes drift, or backup jobs quietly failing? We run fixed-scope infrastructure remediation sprints against a defined outcome.
- Compute, storage, HCI and virtualization health audit and rebalancing
- Kubernetes cluster hardening, upgrade path and workload right-sizing
- Backup job hygiene, restore verification and DR-readiness fixes
Support & Maintenance — AMC-Backed
Keep core infrastructure healthy after go-live — firmware, capacity, backup verification and vendor-TAC escalation under a Jiva AMC.
- L1/L2/L3 support for servers, storage, HCI, virtualization and Kubernetes
- Preventive maintenance, firmware, capacity reviews and backup verification
- Vendor-TAC escalation, licence renewal and infrastructure lifecycle refresh
