Projects & Case Studies

For confidentiality reasons we do not name clients. All case studies are anonymised; we are happy to explain details in person — where clearances exist.

Corporate group, multiple sites

Enterprise network modernisation across sites

Context
A network architecture grown over years connected multiple sites with heterogeneous concepts for routing, segmentation and redundancy.
Task
Analysis of the existing architecture and step-by-step modernisation — routing, switching, segmentation and high availability were redesigned.
Outcome
Migration without service interruption. The result is a documented, highly available architecture with clear operational processes.
  • Routing
  • Switching
  • Segmentation
  • High Availability

Datacenter operator

Datacenter and fabric design

Context
The existing datacenter infrastructure was reaching its limits in scaling, redundancy and operational standardisation.
Task
Design of a modern fabric infrastructure based on spine-leaf, VXLAN and EVPN — including high- and low-level design and a migration path from the existing environment.
Outcome
Implementation in planned maintenance windows, with no outage of productive services.
  • Spine-Leaf
  • VXLAN
  • EVPN
  • Nexus

Mid-sized company

Network security review with ruleset analysis

Context
Firewall, VPN and segmentation concepts had grown over several years — without consistent documentation and rule maintenance.
Task
Complete analysis of the security architecture including the firewall ruleset for unused and risky rules as well as segmentation gaps.
Outcome
Prioritised remediation plan, implemented together with the internal IT team — including a cleaned-up, documented ruleset.
  • Firewall
  • VPN
  • Segmentation
  • Security Review

Security-critical environment

Security-critical communication infrastructure

Context
A communication solution with formal requirements and verification processes demanded complete technical specification.
Task
Responsibility for system specifications, network designs and interface descriptions following formal requirements processes (incl. IBM DOORS).
Outcome
Test and acceptance documentation ensured traceability across the entire project lifecycle.
  • Specification
  • IBM DOORS
  • Interfaces
  • Acceptance

Enterprise environment, highly available

Incident and fault analysis in a highly available environment

Context
Recurring, hard-to-reproduce incidents impaired a highly available enterprise environment for weeks.
Task
Structured root cause analysis of log data, communication paths and redundancy mechanisms.
Outcome
Root cause unambiguously identified and permanently resolved. The final report also served as a hardening baseline.
  • Root Cause Analysis
  • Log Data
  • Redundancy
