A hardware list is the outcome of a design, not its starting point.

Network design does not begin by picking devices from a catalog. Sanal Çekirdek turns user, application, security and continuity requirements into one set of criteria; topology and hardware follow from it.

A badly sized network reveals itself in year three rather than on day one, when expansion is needed. That is why the growth curve is an input to the design.

From requirements to topology

Application traffic patterns, user distribution and security zones determine the topology. Campus, branch and data center face different problems, and applying one template to all three is the most common mistake.

Application traffic is split into east-west and north-south
Branch design starts from link count and redundancy
Security zones are embedded into the topology from the start
The growth curve feeds the capacity plan

Wireless design and site survey

Wireless coverage is verified on site, not on a floor plan. Wall materials, rack height and device density change signal behavior; the coverage map comes from measurement and is retested after deployment.

The coverage map is produced through measurement
Density is a more frequent bottleneck than coverage
Channel planning accounts for neighboring premises
Measurement is repeated after go-live

Hardware and lifecycle

Device selection follows the port density, power budget and software support the topology requires. End-of-support dates are tracked on one calendar, and refresh aligns to budget periods.

Uplink capacity is sized for the next cycle, not for today
Stacking and redundancy choices constrain later expansion
Spare parts and lead times are agreed before purchase
Devices sharing a role are procured in one batch where possible

Configuration consistency

A significant share of network faults arises not from hardware but from configurations that have drifted apart. Template-based configuration and drift detection keep devices in the same role behaving the same way.

A configuration template is defined per device role
Drift detection runs regularly and is reported
Changes leave a record and can be reversed
Configuration backups are taken on a schedule

How we work

Collect requirements and the growth curve
Design topology together with security zones
Measure wireless coverage on site
Select hardware alongside its lifecycle
Template the configuration and monitor drift

How success is measured

Topology decisions are documented with their reasoning
Wireless coverage is verified by measurement
No out-of-support network device remains
Configuration drift keeps declining

Frequently asked questions

Which vendor do you work with?

We work vendor-neutral. Selection follows the capabilities the topology requires and the software support window; the comparison table is delivered with its reasoning.

Can our existing devices be reused?

Devices still in support and carrying the required capabilities are included in the design. Age and support status are assessed together during the inventory.

How long does a design take?

It follows site size and the amount of measurement needed. Facilities requiring a wireless survey take longer, and we do not commit to a date before scope is settled.
