$250K SD-WAN Rollout — City Network Modernization

The Challenge

A city government was operating aging WAN infrastructure that could no longer support growing bandwidth demands, remote work requirements, or modern security controls. Leadership needed an objective evaluation of SD-WAN options and a clear path to modernization — but lacked the internal expertise to evaluate vendors or build a business case.

What We Did

  • Delivered a comprehensive enterprise network evaluation plan supporting a $250,000 SD-WAN initiative
  • Developed detailed solution requirements documentation covering security, performance, scalability, and budget constraints
  • Led a structured vendor evaluation and selection process across multiple SD-WAN providers
  • Ensured all recommendations aligned with the city's security policies, compliance requirements, and long-term growth objectives

The Result

  • Vendor selection accuracy improved by 15% through structured evaluation methodology
  • Delivered a clear, actionable roadmap that gave leadership the confidence to move forward
  • Project scoped and planned on time, on budget, with full stakeholder alignment

Full Enterprise Security & SD-WAN Deployment Across 23 Locations

The Challenge

A regional lumber and building materials company operating 23 locations had no consistent security architecture across its sites. Each branch operated independently with mismatched equipment, no centralized visibility, and no formal network security strategy. The business needed a complete security overhaul and a modern WAN to connect its distributed operations reliably.

What We Did

  • Designed and deployed a full Fortinet security stack including FortiGate, FortiManager, FortiAuthenticator, FortiAnalyzer, and FortiClient EMS across the enterprise
  • Completed a full SD-WAN deployment with optimized traffic steering, failover, and centralized management
  • Executed firewall rule optimization and SSL pre-logon rollout for secure remote access
  • Deployed Cisco Nexus 9K core switching infrastructure and led a full data center migration
  • Implemented SolarWinds network monitoring across all 23 remote locations for centralized visibility
  • Created the company's first formal enterprise network refresh program and network security strategy

The Result

  • Data center migration delivered on time and within budget
  • All 23 locations unified under a single, centrally managed security framework for the first time
  • Organization went from zero formal security posture to a documented, repeatable security strategy
  • Full network visibility achieved across every location via SolarWinds monitoring

30% Network Efficiency Gain — SD-WAN & Azure Infrastructure Buildout

The Challenge

A national waste management company was experiencing performance and reliability issues across its LAN, WAN, and remote access infrastructure. Leadership needed a comprehensive redesign to improve reliability, strengthen security, and support the organization's move toward a hybrid cloud environment.

What We Did

  • Led a full LAN, WAN, and remote access redesign initiative to address performance bottlenecks and reliability gaps
  • Deployed Fortinet SD-WAN and built out Azure cloud infrastructure to support hybrid operations
  • Conducted enterprise-wide network assessments to identify gaps and establish a baseline for continuous improvement

The Result

  • Network efficiency and security improved by 30% following SD-WAN and Azure buildouts
  • Enterprise assessments delivered a clear continuous improvement roadmap adopted by leadership
  • Organization moved successfully to a hybrid cloud model with improved performance and resilience

Firewall Migration & Micro-segmentation — Palo Alto to VMware NSX

The Challenge

A large enterprise client needed to migrate from a traditional Palo Alto Networks perimeter firewall model to a VMware NSX distributed firewall architecture — a complex, high-risk project requiring careful planning to avoid disruption to critical business operations. The goal was to achieve true micro-segmentation, where security controls exist at the workload level rather than the network edge.

What We Did

  • Led micro-segmentation initiatives using Terraform to automate the migration from Palo Alto Networks to VMware NSX Distributed Firewall
  • Architected and oversaw the NSX-T distributed firewall design and full security policy framework
  • Managed the project within an Agile delivery model, ensuring continuous stakeholder visibility and iterative progress
  • Validated security controls at each migration phase to ensure zero gaps in protection throughout the transition

The Result

  • Successful migration from perimeter-based firewall to full micro-segmentation architecture
  • Zero security gaps maintained throughout the migration process
  • Infrastructure as Code approach via Terraform enabled repeatable, auditable deployments going forward
  • Client achieved a Zero Trust security posture at the workload level across the enterprise

40-Location Network Upgrade — Multi-Site Coordination & Delivery

The Challenge

An organization with 40 locations across the country needed to execute a complete network upgrade across all sites simultaneously — a logistically complex undertaking requiring careful coordination of engineering teams, vendors, and site stakeholders while minimizing disruption to daily operations.

What We Did

  • Led a team of engineers responsible for designing and executing network upgrades across all 40 locations
  • Managed all aspects of project execution including technical design, scheduling, resource allocation, and stakeholder communication
  • Coordinated directly with site stakeholders at each location to minimize business disruption during upgrades
  • Maintained consistent standards and documentation across every site to ensure uniformity of the final state

The Result

  • All 40 locations successfully upgraded on schedule
  • Consistent network standards achieved across every site for the first time
  • Project completed with minimal operational disruption reported across locations
