Cisco network devices for businesses
We supply and configure Cisco network devices: switches, routers, firewalls and Wi-Fi access points. We design how the network is divided and connect new devices to your existing infrastructure. As a Cisco partner, we supply the hardware and licences, then maintain the configuration.
When companies ask us about Cisco networks
-
The network grew without a plan
Devices were added over the years, and one failed switch can cut off the whole office. A new network layout and redundant links limit the impact of such a failure.
-
Cisco devices left without maintenance
The hardware works, but its configuration is undocumented and its software has not been updated for a long time. After a review and update, you get documentation for every device.
-
Network downtime stops customer service
Your systems have to run without interruption, and every change to the network feels risky. Changes are tested before they reach the live network.
-
A new office or another site
Expansion needs hardware that works with the existing network. We configure the connections between sites on Cisco devices.
Companies choose Cisco hardware for its long manufacturer support. A stable network, however, also depends on how it is divided and on up-to-date device software.
Building a network from scratch, including cabling, a rack cabinet and Wi-Fi, is described on the network design and installation page. Network edge security is also covered on the Fortinet firewalls page.
What we do
- Network design: segments (VLANs), addressing and redundant links
- Selection and supply of Cisco switches, routers, firewalls and access points
- Device configuration and traffic security policies
- Integration of new hardware with your existing network and devices from other manufacturers
- Connections between sites
- Device software updates and service contract tracking
- Configuration documentation after deployment
Who it is for
- You are expanding your network and want hardware with long manufacturer support
- A network outage would stop the systems your company depends on
- You are connecting several sites and want to manage the network consistently
- You work in a sector where clients and auditors expect documented, stable infrastructure
Network design before buying hardware
First we agree how the network is divided, its addressing and its redundant links. Then we choose Cisco switches, routers and access points to fit the finished design. You approve the design and budget before anything is ordered.
- Segments (VLANs) and addressing
- Redundant links for critical systems
- Devices chosen to fit the design
Deployment without disrupting work
We configure and test the devices before connecting them to the live network. Traffic moves over in a maintenance window agreed with you, and we check that all services work. New hardware is integrated with the devices from other manufacturers that stay in place.
- Configuration and tests before connection
- Switchover at an agreed time
- Integration with your existing network
Updates, service contracts and documentation
After deployment, you get configuration documentation that makes every change easy to plan. As part of our managed IT services, we update device software, keep track of service contracts and respond to failures.
- Configuration documentation
- Device software updates
- Service contract dates under control
How we work
-
Network review
We check your current network, devices and cabling. We ask about the number of users, critical systems and sites.
-
Design and quote
We design the network layout and choose the Cisco devices. You approve the design and budget before we order.
-
Deployment
We supply and configure the hardware, test it, then connect it and check that all services work.
-
Handover and documentation
We hand over the configuration documentation and a network diagram.
-
Support after deployment
We maintain the network as part of our managed IT services.
Pricing
We quote every project individually, after discussing its scope and requirements.
- Supply and configuration of Cisco devices
- Price depends on: number of sites and devices, scope of configuration, integration with your existing network.
- Network device maintenance
- Price depends on: on the monthly plan, the number of hours, response time (SLA) and 24/7 on-call cover; hourly, the actual time worked.
Experience and partners
- As a Cisco partner, we supply hardware and licences through the official Cisco channel, with the manufacturer's warranty and support.
- For a financial services company, we supplied Cisco network devices and configured them to work in its infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions
Do you only supply the hardware, or configure it too?
Both. We supply Cisco devices with a configuration that fits your network, and we configure the Cisco switches and routers you already have, on site or remotely.
Will Cisco devices work with network equipment from other manufacturers?
Yes. We integrate them with your existing switches, firewalls and access points. Before deployment, we check what needs adjusting.
When is Cisco worth choosing over simpler hardware?
When the network has to run for years and long manufacturer support matters, for example in a company where downtime stops customer service. In a small office, simpler hardware is often enough, and then that is what we propose.
Do you keep track of service contracts and end of support?
Yes. As part of our managed IT services, we update device software, keep track of service contract dates and warn you when a model is approaching the end of manufacturer support.
How much does a Cisco deployment cost?
We quote individually. The price depends on the number of sites and devices, the scope of configuration and integration with your existing network. Hardware and licences are priced separately.
