🚫

We don't sell hardware

No vendor relationships. No referral fees. Our recommendation is always what's right for your environment.

🎯

Outcomes, not retainers

We do the work, document it, and hand it off. You shouldn't need us forever, and we build things so you don't.

🛠

We actually do the work

Senior-level engineering from scoping through deployment. Not a junior team with a senior salesperson.

Services

What we do

Network Architecture & Design

Proper segmentation, VLAN design, routing, and switching, built to last and easy to hand off. From greenfield builds to aging infrastructure overhauls.

Infrastructure Deployment

We don't just design it. We build it. Servers, storage, virtualization, and networking deployed cleanly with full documentation on the way out.

Vendor Evaluation & Advisory

Thinking about buying something? We'll tell you if it's the right fit, if the price is fair, and what the real total cost of ownership looks like.

SMB & Midsize Infrastructure

Enterprise-level thinking for environments that need it. Per-project engagements with no ongoing retainer required.

Basic Security Hardening

Sensible hardening built into every engagement. Proper access controls, segmentation, and configuration hygiene. We don't do compliance frameworks.

Documentation & Transition

Every engagement ends with network diagrams, runbooks, and transition plans your team can actually use. No black boxes.

Engagement & Fees

Transparent rates. No surprises.

Two simple billing models. Standard work runs on pre-purchased blocks of time. After-hours support is billed by the hour with no minimum. No retainers, no monthly spend, and no surprise charges.

Standard Rate

$200/hr

Business hours engineering: scoping, design, deployment, vendor advisory, and documentation.

Billed against pre-purchased blocks

After-Hours Support

$375/hr

Nights, weekends, holidays, and emergency response. For when downtime isn't an option.

1-hour increments. No minimum.

10-hour minimum to start

Standard engagements begin with a 10-hour block. Enough time to scope properly, do real work, and document it cleanly.

5-hour blocks after that

Need more standard hours? Add them in 5-hour increments. You pay for what you actually use. Nothing more.

Hours never expire

Your block of time is yours. Use it this month, next quarter, or save it for an emergency a year from now.

Process

How we work

We start by understanding your environment, constraints, and goals before recommending anything.

We translate discovery into a written scope of work with a clear block-hour estimate.

We design the architecture and procurement plan before any hardware is touched.

We deploy, configure, and test what was designed.

We leave behind documentation your team can actually use.

Who We Work With

Built for organizations that need real answers

SMBs & Midsize Enterprises

Organizations that need senior engineering judgment without the cost of a full-time hire.

Leadership & Decision Makers

Executives who need an independent voice to validate vendor proposals before signing.

Organizations in Transition

Companies growing out of their current infrastructure or inheriting someone else's mess.

Any Industry, Any Location

Based in Cleveland, Ohio. Working with clients across the US and globally.
