Infrastructure Analysis

Network Architecture Assessment

A structured, standards-based review of your network's topology, redundancy, capacity, and security posture — producing a prioritized roadmap, not just a report.

What This Assessment Covers

A network is the nervous system of the enterprise — when it degrades, every application, call, and transaction feels it.

Our Network Architecture Assessment maps your environment end-to-end: WAN and LAN topology, routing and switching design, redundancy and failover paths, bandwidth utilization, QoS policy, wireless coverage, and segmentation. We combine automated discovery tooling with hands-on interviews with your network engineers to build a model of the network as it actually operates today — not just as it appears in outdated diagrams.

The output isn't a stack of raw data. Every finding is scored against business impact and mapped to a remediation cost/effort estimate, so leadership can make sequencing decisions with confidence.

  • Full topology discovery across core, distribution, and access layers
  • Redundancy and single-point-of-failure analysis
  • Bandwidth utilization and capacity forecasting
  • Segmentation and micro-segmentation review
  • Wireless site survey and coverage heatmapping
  • Configuration audit against vendor and industry baselines
Standard

TIA-942 Data Center Standard

Benchmarks physical infrastructure tiering (I–IV) covering redundancy, cabling, and uptime targets.

Standard

ISO/IEC 27033

International standard for network security design, covering segmentation and secure gateway architecture.

Framework

Zero Trust Architecture (NIST SP 800-207)

Verify explicitly, enforce least-privilege access, and assume breach at every network segment boundary.

Reference Network Topology

The layered architecture pattern we benchmark every assessment against — redundant at every tier that matters.

INTERNET / WAN EDGE Edge Firewall Core Switch A Core Switch B CORE LAYER — REDUNDANT PAIR Dist. Switch 1 Dist. Switch 2 Dist. Switch 3 Dist. Switch 4 DISTRIBUTION LAYER ACCESS LAYER — ENDPOINTS, APs, IoT, WORKSTATIONS SEGMENT: CORP SEGMENT: DMZ

Redundant core switches eliminate single points of failure at the tier that carries the most traffic; distribution-layer segmentation contains lateral movement per Zero Trust principles.

Our Assessment Process

A disciplined four-phase approach from discovery to a board-ready roadmap.

1

Discovery

Automated topology mapping, traffic capture, and stakeholder interviews.

2

Analysis

Gap analysis against TIA-942, ISO/IEC 27033, and Zero Trust benchmarks.

3

Roadmap

Prioritized remediation plan scored by business impact and effort.

4

Validation

Post-remediation testing to confirm measurable improvement.
