How Gary helps
Reliable networks built around how the business actually works
Every network project starts with understanding the environment before recommending equipment. I focus on reliability, performance, growth, documentation, and support so the finished network is easier to operate and maintain after the project is complete.
Discovery and assessment
Review the existing network, internet connections, switching, Wi-Fi, firewalls, VPNs, applications, users, locations, and known problem areas.
Network design
Practical designs for switching, routing, Wi-Fi, VLANs, WAN connectivity, firewalls, VPN access, redundancy, addressing, and future growth.
Configuration and staging
Configure and prepare equipment before deployment so implementation is controlled, repeatable, and easier to troubleshoot.
Implementation and cutover
Coordinate installation, carriers, vendors, and production changes while minimizing disruption to business operations.
Testing and validation
Verify connectivity, performance, wireless coverage, segmentation, failover, application access, phones, and other critical functions.
Documentation and SOPs
Document topology, addressing, major configurations, operational details, and create SOPs where needed for deployment, support, maintenance, troubleshooting, failover, and change procedures.
Multi-site connectivity
Plan WAN connectivity, redundancy, standards, and coordinated implementation across multiple business locations.
Ongoing support
Continued troubleshooting, monitoring, upgrades, changes, planning, documentation updates, and support through agreed service arrangements.
