Infrastructure Modernisation

Business Challenge

Core network switches and a file server were well beyond their expected service life, with no vendor support available and an increasing frequency of faults.

Solution

A phased refresh of core networking and server infrastructure, paired with a review of backup arrangements to match the new environment.

Implementation

• Assessment of existing network topology, server roles and dependencies
• Design of a refreshed network and server layout with minimal downtime
• Phased hardware replacement scheduled around business hours
• Configuration of updated backup jobs against the new infrastructure
• Documentation handover of the new environment

Outcome

• Removal of unsupported, fault-prone hardware from the environment
• A documented, supportable infrastructure baseline
• Backup arrangements aligned to the refreshed environment
