Growth Planning

As any network grows it goes through stages where a new perspective is needed to rearchitect it. Whether a company or an ISP, these growth points can be critical to success

A company trying to improve their internal network, the connection between their intranet and The Internet, or to improve their web presence, needs to make sure they get the design right, errors often don't show up until there's a problem, when it's too late to make sure your backups work.

An ISP, also, may want some additional advice and training before deploying a more complex network topology. For example, when growing from a level of connectivity where simple (often static) routing was sufficient to one where complex BGP setups are required for load-sharing and backup routing, it is often a good idea to have someone who has done it before.

Specific areas

Some specific areas where my expertise has been useful:

Transition plans for "zero down-time" network changes.
Measurement of current usage with trend analysis and projections for future capacity requirements.
Migration and expansion strategies for maximum flexibility
