AKADATA LIMITED
Network Architecture Services
Design resilient IPv6 and mesh architectures with Akadata. We build, document, and hand over networks so your team can operate them confidently.
IPv6 and mesh networking
Network architecture without black boxes
We design and deploy LAN, WAN, and mesh networks that keep your organisation online. Every topology, diagram, and SOP is documented so you stay in control.
Fit-for-purpose design
We build layered architectures with redundancy, monitoring, and change control so operations run smoothly.
IPv6 transition
Plan, pilot, and execute IPv6 rollouts without disrupting IPv4 services. We train your team along the way.
Documentation provided
You receive Visio/NetBox diagrams, IPAM exports, and playbooks covering maintenance and incident response.
1. Assess & baseline
Before touching hardware we capture current state: topology, addressing, services, and business priorities.
- Run discovery workshops with operations, security, and application owners.
- Audit existing configurations (switches, firewalls, routers) and export to version control.
- Define availability targets, change windows, and escalation procedures.
2. Design with resilience
We draft target architectures covering core, distribution, and edge plus out-of-band management. Mesh and SD-WAN options are modelled where appropriate.
- Use NetBox or similar to model prefixes, VLANs, and device roles.
- Plan IPv6 alongside IPv4 with dual-stack migration steps.
- Validate designs against compliance (Cyber Essentials, NCSC, PCI as needed).
3. Implement & handover
Deploy changes with rollback paths, then train your engineers on operations. Handover packs include monitoring dashboards and runbooks.
- Automate configuration delivery via Ansible/Terraform where possible.
- Enable logging, NetFlow/sFlow, and health checks with alerting tied to your systems.
- Conduct knowledge-transfer sessions and leave recorded walkthroughs.
