Ineapple: Network Services

Networking

We’ve spent decades learning, improving, and perfecting infrastructure technologies. Our team of experts has been designing and implementing the IT infrastructure behind services you use every day. If you swipe a credit card, stream a video, upload a photo to the cloud, purchase something online, check your account balance, or talk on the phone, chances are you have used a service designed or implemented by one of our team members. We can provide that same expertise directly to you.

High Availability

Is your network infrastructure redundant? What happens when a link or a device fails? We will review your infrastructure design and implement any changes needed to get the best possible uptime out of your environment.

Advanced Troubleshooting

Familiar with the term “network hiccup”? It usually means undiagnosed, ongoing issues exist on your network. We will help you identify and resolve them for good.

Performance Improvement

You can often get more bandwidth and throughput from the equipment you already own by tuning its configuration. We will identify performance-improvement opportunities and give you a clear path to get there.

Multicast

Multicast is no longer just for distributing stock prices. Today it powers WANs, data center interconnects, LAN fabrics, high-performance applications, and video and audio distribution. We will design and implement a multicast solution that fits your requirements, including rendezvous-point redundancy for BiDir or ASM and optimized routing for SSM.

WAN Technologies

Whether you need a simple WAN design, a multi-provider MPLS WAN, your own managed MPLS, or an SD-WAN solution, we can design, deliver, and support it. Our WAN portfolio spans vendors and technologies including Cisco, Juniper, HPE, Riverbed, Silver Peak, CloudGenix, and VeloCloud.

Fast Network Failover

How quickly should you recover from a network failure? We will help you find the right balance between meeting your SLAs and cost, presenting every acceptable option — configuration-only improvements, new technologies, and alternative hardware.

Quality of Service (QoS)

Networks carry everything from bandwidth-hungry video to delay-sensitive real-time voice. Achieving the required quality of service — managing delay, jitter, bandwidth, and packet loss — is the secret to a successful end-to-end business solution. Every network device supports some form of QoS; Ineapple will optimize it to your requirements.

Wireless LAN

Offering Wi-Fi to employees and customers is no longer just about a strong signal. Modern solutions add custom portals, asset tracking, bandwidth management, and user management. We will help you get the most out of your Wi-Fi solution — or provide a better alternative.

Equipment Refresh

Most network devices have a five-to-seven-year lifespan, and replacing an entire infrastructure on that cycle is a huge undertaking. Ineapple does not partner with any network-infrastructure OEM, which lets us recommend a truly unbiased solution — then use our OEM Gold partners to get you the best possible price.

No-Downtime Maintenance

Do you have a device that hasn’t been rebooted in five years because it is too critical? That is a sign the design needs adjusting: any critical device should be able to fail within acceptable SLAs. We will identify every point of failure and deliver short- and long-term fixes with minimal possible downtime.

Virtual Private Networks

VPNs come in many varieties, built on tunneling protocols such as PPTP, L2TP, SSL, IPsec, GRE, DMVPN, LISP, remote-access VPN, and FlexVPN — sometimes nested inside each other. Navigating the options across vendor boundaries is challenging. Ineapple engineers are subject-matter experts in VPN technologies and will assist with any VPN project.

Branch Networking

A branch office network has its own requirements: north–south traffic patterns, a more distributed design, PoE for smart devices, and users who need mobility and security. We will build your branch network from the ground up, or address these requirements individually while integrating with your overall architecture.
