Network Design

Opendium has a wealth of networking experience, allowing us to provide network infrastructure design consultancy services.  Whether you are a small organisation that needs a simple but secure local area network, or have a requirement for a resilient wide area network interconnecting a number of sites, we can help.

We have experience of many current networking technologies, enabling us to choose the best technology for your specific needs.  Our competencies include:

  • IPv4 and IPv6 networking, which underlie the whole internet.
  • The BGP dynamic routing protocol, which provides robust routing throughout the internet's infrastructure.
  • 802.1d spanning tree protocol, which allows redundent LAN infrastructure to provide high availability networks.
  • 802.1q VLAN trunking, which allows low cost segregation of network traffic.
  • IPSEC and GRE VPNs, allowing secure teleworking and low cost inter-site wide area networks.
  • Traffic shaping, which allows limited bandwidth connections to be shared between services that have very different specific quality of service requirements.
  • Voice over IP, providing telephony services over existing network infrastructure, both within the office and to remote offices and teleworkers.
