Refresh the environment.
Engineer for the future.

/ The Reality

The Reality.

REFRESH CYCLE
  • Switches past end-of-life
  • Vendor support gone
  • Warranty has lapsed
VENDOR SPRAWL
  • Different vendors at every layer
  • No single source of truth
  • Hard to swap when one fails
CAPACITY PLANNING
  • Vendor wants you to expand
  • CFO wants proof you need it
  • No data to settle it
/ What we cover

Four Pillars Engineered for you.

4 pillars

Enterprise Networking

Routing, switching, wireless - data center to campus.

  • Data-center & campus switching
  • Dark fiber & inter-site transport
  • Wireless design & site surveys
  • Routing, BGP, and segmentation
  • Network observability & metrics

Data Center & Cloud

Hybrid by design. Compute, storage, and workload placement.

Data Protection

Backup that restores. Immutable storage, tested RTO/RPO.

  • Backup architecture & immutability
  • Disaster recovery design & testing
  • Air-gapped & offsite copies
  • Restore-time validation & quarterly drills

Managed Infrastructure

When you don't want to run hardware and platforms in-house. A partner-delivered operations team for day-two work.

  • Managed compute + storage operations
  • Patch & lifecycle management
  • Backup, DR runbook ownership & testing
  • Capacity planning + cost reviews
/ Methodology

The EdgeTeam Method.

4 steps
01 Listen

A senior engineer walks through your environment, your last three incidents, and what's on the roadmap.

02 Recommend

We come back with a short, defensible recommendation: two or three options with the trade-offs named in writing. We say which vendor we would pick and why.

03 Design

We validate the design before production. You get a reference architecture, a phased rollout plan, and a bill of materials with lines you can implement or defer. We provide it to your IT team or a deploy partner.

04 Collaborate

This is where your team and ours move from review to ownership. Standing call cadence, shared roadmap. Every decision gets named in writing: vendor, scope, sequencing. Your team owns the design. We don't leave when the project ends.

The 3-2-1-1-0 rule: immutable backup and recovery

Why having backups is not the same as being able to recover, the 3-2-1-1-0 rule, immutability against ransomware, and setting RTO and RPO with the business.

Frequently Asked Questions

What infrastructure services does EdgeTeam provide?

We refresh and engineer core infrastructure across four areas: enterprise networking, data center and cloud, data protection, and fully managed infrastructure. The goal is an environment that meets today's needs and is engineered for what comes next, not just a like-for-like replacement.

What does EdgeTeam's enterprise networking cover?

Our enterprise networking pillar covers the switching, routing, and wireless that everything else depends on, designed for performance, segmentation, and growth. We build the network as a foundation so security and applications have something solid to sit on.

When does it make sense to move workloads back from the cloud?

When a workload is predictable, steady, and expensive to run in the cloud, moving it back on-premises or to a hybrid model can lower cost and improve performance. The principle is the right workload in the right place, rather than cloud-first or cloud-only.

Should we replace aging hardware now or wait?

It depends on lead times, pricing, and how close the equipment is to end of life. With memory and component costs elevated, waiting can cost more than acting early. We help you decide what to refresh now, what to extend, and what to move to a consumption model.

What is the 3-2-1-1-0 backup rule?

Keep three copies of your data on two types of media with one copy offsite, one copy immutable or offline, and zero errors on your recovery tests. It is a modern update to the classic 3-2-1 rule, built for an era of ransomware that deliberately targets backups.

How do you protect backups from ransomware?

Our data protection pillar uses immutable and offline copies so backups cannot be encrypted or deleted by an attacker who reaches your production systems. We then test restores, because a backup you have never recovered from is only a hope, not a plan.

What does managed infrastructure include?

It covers monitoring, maintenance, patching, capacity planning, and lifecycle management of your networking, compute, storage, and backup, so your team can focus on the business while we keep the environment healthy and current.

Do we have to replace our whole environment at once?

No. We plan refreshes in phases, prioritizing equipment nearing end of life or carrying long lead times, and extending what still performs. That avoids the cost and risk of a single forklift upgrade while keeping the environment moving forward.
