New Office & Factory IT Infrastructure Planning
For relocations, new offices, factory expansions and new branches. Key zones, uplinks, addressing and security boundaries should be designed before cabling and equipment purchasing are finalized.
Cabling and fit-out proceed before IT requirements are confirmed / Network room, core, AP and server capacity are not planned together
Network room, core/access switching, uplinks and rack planning / VLAN, IP, DHCP, gateway, Wi-Fi and guest-network design / Server zone, firewall, Internet edge and VPN planning
Yangtze River Delta onsite / China-wide remote
Network and data-room design / VLAN/IP/AP/port requirement sheet / Critical equipment and capacity guidance
Typical situations
Cabling and fit-out proceed before IT requirements are confirmed
This usually indicates that the environment lacks a consistent operating baseline. We first confirm ownership, dependencies and business impact.
Network room, core, AP and server capacity are not planned together
These issues often span several systems. Treating only the visible symptom can cause repeat incidents, so the dependency path is reviewed first.
Office, production, guest, CCTV, devices and servers share networks
When support depends on ad-hoc fixes, recovery, handover and future expansion become harder to manage.
Move-day cutover lacks rollback and business validation
For production systems, changes are planned around an approved window, validation steps and rollback conditions.
Scope of work
Network room, core/access switching, uplinks and rack planning
Included in the operating baseline with clear ownership, checks and escalation boundaries.
VLAN, IP, DHCP, gateway, Wi-Fi and guest-network design
Work is adapted to the existing architecture and business dependencies rather than forcing a rebuild for its own sake.
Server zone, firewall, Internet edge and VPN planning
For business-critical systems, backup state, access paths and recovery options are verified before change work begins.
AD, DNS, file, print and endpoint-access design
Material changes are documented with implementation notes, validation results and rollback information where required.
Backup, UPS, monitoring, logging and device-management guidance
Cross-system work starts by confirming prerequisites, owners and the expected blast radius.
Move/go-live cutover, validation, rollback and documentation
The work can be delivered as a defined project or an ongoing support scope, depending on the requirement.

Engagement approach
Discovery
Confirm business systems, devices, impact, ownership and the current operating context.
Boundaries & risk
Map dependencies, access paths, backup state and services that cannot be interrupted.
Plan & window
Define scope, maintenance window, risk, validation steps and rollback conditions.
Implementation & validation
Execute the agreed work and validate service, access, performance or recovery outcomes.
Documentation & ongoing operations
Update topology, configuration, identity, backup or operations records and document follow-up items.
Frequently asked questions
Q: Is an on-site visit required first?
A: Not always. Initial discovery can often start from topology, screenshots and system information; on-site work is used when hardware, complex networking or production change requires it.
Q: Can you handle only one scoped area?
A: Yes. Server, network, permissions, backup and migration work can be scoped independently when boundaries are clear.
Q: Will this affect production systems?
A: Production changes are planned around a maintenance window, backup, validation and rollback. We do not make blind changes to an unknown environment.
Q: Do you provide documentation?
A: Yes. Depending on scope, deliverables can include inventories, topology, configuration records, implementation/acceptance records and maintenance guidance.
