Enterprise Networking & Wireless
Campus LAN and WiFi 6, 6E and 7 for modern and regulated workplaces.
Domain Overview
Infrastructure Designed as One System
Most infrastructure problems do not come from a single device or link. They come from networks, data centres, security and cloud connectivity being planned separately, by different teams and suppliers, on different refresh cycles. The result is security gaps, performance bottlenecks and risky cutovers.

Business Challenges
Common Challenges We Help Solve
01
Ageing and End of Life Equipment
Network and data centre hardware reaching end of life creates security exposure, support risk and unplanned outages.
Solved with the Readiness Assessment
02
Costly, Inflexible WAN
Legacy MPLS and point to point links are expensive, slow to change and poorly suited to cloud and SaaS traffic.
Solved with SD-WAN and SASE
03
VPN and Perimeter Security Limits
Traditional VPNs give users broad network access and struggle to support hybrid working securely.
Solved with Zero Trust Network Access
04
Data Centres Not Built for AI
AI workloads draw far more power and produce far more heat per rack than standard facilities were designed for, and need high speed GPU interconnects that standard networks cannot provide.
Solved with AI ready data centre design
05
Limited Visibility and Manual Operations
Without automation and observability, faults take longer to find and every change carries risk.
Solved with Network Automation & Observability
06
Resilience and Regulatory Pressure
Regulated organisations must show resilient, well controlled infrastructure under regulations and frameworks such as DORA, NIS2, the UK NIS Regulations and the NCSC CAF.
See the evidence we provide
07
Deadline Driven Decisions
Data centre lease expiries, WAN contract renewals, mergers and AI scale up all force infrastructure decisions on a deadline.
Solved with Strategy Consulting
The SynaptekX Approach
A Structured Path from Current Estate to Modern Infrastructure
Infrastructure change has to happen while the business keeps running. Our approach is built around that reality: know exactly what you have, design the target as one system, plan every cutover, build in controlled waves, then operate with full visibility. Begin at the stage you need.
Stage 01 of 05
Assess the Estate
Review your infrastructure across all eight domains, recording the lifecycle and support status of every component.
You leave withA readiness report, an infrastructure asset register and a board ready executive summary

01
Assess the Estate
Review your infrastructure across all eight domains, recording the lifecycle and support status of every component. You leave with a readiness report, an infrastructure asset register and a board ready executive summary.
02
Design the Target Architecture
Define a vendor independent target across network, WAN, security, data centre, HCI and cloud connectivity, with Zero Trust principles, identity and policy designed in from the start. Resilience is designed in too, with diverse routing and no single points of failure for critical services. Where AI is on the roadmap, we size power, cooling and GPU networking before anything is built. You leave with a target architecture and a phased modernisation roadmap.
03
Plan Transition & Cutover
Map dependencies between sites, systems and services, then sequence the change into controlled waves. Carrier circuits and cloud interconnects are ordered early, as lead times often run to weeks or months and can hold up a whole programme. Every wave has a tested cutover plan, a rollback route and agreed change windows, so live services stay protected. You leave with a wave plan and cutover runbooks.
04
Build & Migrate in Controlled Waves
Deploy and migrate wave by wave, using automation, zero touch provisioning and infrastructure as code (Ansible and Terraform) so builds are consistent, repeatable and documented. You leave with tested, accepted infrastructure and as built documentation.
05
Operate & Observe
Put full stack observability and AIOps in place so issues are spotted early, then hand over cleanly to your team or to our Managed Operations practice. You leave with monitoring in place, operational runbooks and a lifecycle plan for the next refresh.

Modernisation Path
From Legacy WAN to SASE and Zero Trust
Most organisations move in stages: from MPLS links, VPN remote access and separate security tools, to SD-WAN with converged cloud security (SASE), and then to identity based Zero Trust access for every user and application.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Most clients start with the Infrastructure & Network Readiness Assessment. In 4 to 6 weeks it covers all eight domains and gives you a readiness report, an asset register, an executive summary and a modernisation roadmap.
Yes. We design and deploy ZTNA that gives users identity verified access to specific applications, with device trust checks, instead of broad network access through a VPN.
We migrate site by site in controlled waves, with tested cutover plans, rollback routes and change windows agreed with you, so live services stay protected.
Often not without changes. AI racks can need over 100kW of power and liquid cooling. We assess your facility, model power and thermal needs, and advise whether to upgrade, use colocation or consume GPUs in the cloud.
It depends on your workloads, data sensitivity, usage patterns and budget. We give independent advice on building on premises GPU capacity versus using AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.
No. Our advice is vendor independent, and we work across the major networking, security, HCI and data centre platforms.
Your choice. We hand over with full documentation and knowledge transfer, or our Managed Operations practice can run and monitor it for you.
