Our team has replaced legacy access switching with resilient designs using stacked switching, dual high-speed data-centre uplinks, centralized NAC, 802.1X, and staged cutover planning.

Project challenge

Modernize office access infrastructure serving workstations, phones, printers, access-control devices, wireless, and other endpoints without disrupting business operations.

Delivery

  • The team designed the target switching and wireless architecture and selected switching, optics, cabling, and NAC licensing.
  • The team built dual Layer-2 high-speed uplinks to separate data centres with gateway and path failover.
  • The team implemented resilient NAC integrated with directory services for 802.1X and MAC-based authentication.
  • The team prepared cable maps, port documentation, routing/VLAN designs, rollback plans, monitoring, and day-one support.

Outcome

A documented, identity-aware access network delivered through a staged cutover with operational visibility and long-term supportability built in.
