Enterprise networks, designed before they are built.
Advanced IP Design is an independent network engineering and design practice in the Netherlands, founded in 2007. We design, review and document enterprise, data center and automated networks, and we train the engineers who run them.
Architecture, engineering and documentation across the network.
Each engagement starts with the design and ends with documentation your team can run the network from.
Enterprise Architecture
Target architectures for campus, WAN and multi-site networks, written so that the business case, the design and the operating model point the same way.
Read more →02Data Center & Cloud
Spine-leaf fabrics, EVPN/VXLAN and ACI, data center interconnect and the network side of hybrid and multi-cloud designs.
Read more →03Network Security
Segmentation and access designs that can be enforced and audited, and firewall migrations that keep the policy intact.
Read more →04Network Automation
Automation treated as part of the architecture: a source of truth, version-controlled change and tests that run before production does.
Read more →05Network Transformation
Large changes broken into steps that can be planned, tested and rolled back: SD-WAN roll-outs, fabric migrations, platform replacements.
Read more →06Technical Documentation
Documents operations teams actually use after the project has ended. Written to a standard, kept in version control.
Read more →Five phases, each with a written result.
Every phase ends with a document you keep. If the engagement stops after phase two, you still own a usable assessment.
