The architecture we build toward

One diagram, because this is easier to see than to read. Every appliance below exists to hold one of these boundaries or to prove that it held.

PROVIDER RESPONSIBILITYUnderlay & Hardware
  • Physical data centre security & environmental controls
  • Hypervisor, host hardware & chassis redundancy
  • Underlay network fabric, cabling & core switching

What we supply and configure, and the problem each solves

OEM options compared against the same written requirement. We do not have a single vendor agenda — we have a workload performance standard.

How we size and deploy it

Four sequential stages. Sizing against measured load comes before hardware procurement, so you never overpay for idle capacity.

01

Measure & Assess

Telemetry capture of actual IOPS, network throughput, and concurrent sessions rather than datasheet estimates.

02

3-OEM Comparison

Side-by-side BoQ evaluation comparing price-to-performance, warranty terms, and licensing overhead.

03

Staging & Hardening

Firmware updated, baseline configurations applied, and security burn-in completed before shipping to site.

04

Commission & Handover

Cutover executed within agreed maintenance windows with test certificates and asset registers handed over.

What this architecture delivers

Three business outcomes that separate an enterprise build from a basic hardware purchase.

No surprise bottlenecks under load

Sized against measured peak utilization with 3-year growth headroom, eliminating emergency mid-cycle expansions.

Auditors receive clean evidence on Day 1

Configuration baselines, port maps, and compliance mapping documented so supplier questionnaires take minutes to answer.

Single-point support accountability

Hardware supply, deployment, and ongoing AMC managed under one agreement so OEM finger-pointing is eliminated.

HANDOVER PACK

What you receive in the Handover Pack

Documentation is part of the supply, not an extra. All of it is yours from day one.

  • Workload sizing worksheet with measured telemetry data and growth modeling
  • 3-OEM comparison matrix with feature-by-feature BoQ cost analysis
  • Physical and logical topology diagrams showing ports, VLANs, and rule groups
  • Factory configuration backups, baseline firmware levels, and admin credential packs
  • OEM direct warranty certificates registered in your company name
  • Single-point escalation matrix with 24/7 AppsTech NOC contact details
