Managed IT
Mayer Networks designs, deploys and manages the wired and wireless networks organizations depend on: switching, routing, firewalls, segmentation, remote access and connectivity between locations.
Equipment is selected for the environment and for what we can support long term.
Network design
Most networks that cause trouble were never designed. They accumulated. Mayer Networks starts with the building, the circuits and the traffic that actually exist, then builds a deliberate architecture: a secure edge, a switching backbone, wireless that covers the space, and segmentation that keeps the wrong traffic away from the wrong systems.
The stack we build and manage
Mayer Networks designs, deploys and manages each layer with equipment that can be monitored, updated and supported, including platforms from SonicWall, UniFi and Cisco Meraki.
A next-generation firewall is the boundary between your organization and everything else. We size it for the circuit, configure policy deliberately, keep firmware current and review rules instead of leaving them to accumulate.
Managed, business-class switching replaces unmanaged boxes nobody can see into. Ports are labeled, VLANs are assigned on purpose, PoE budgets are planned for phones, cameras and access points, and every switch reports in.
Coverage is designed from the building, not guessed from a box count. Access point placement accounts for masonry, plaster, racking and outdoor yards, and staff, guest and device traffic land on separate networks.
Product images are the property of their respective manufacturers and are shown to identify equipment categories Mayer Networks deploys and manages.
Segmentation
Segmentation divides the network so traffic only crosses where it should. It is one of the highest-value security controls available to most organizations, and it is far easier to design in than to retrofit after an incident.
Business applications, file access, printing
Restricted to the systems that need them
Prioritized traffic for phones and call quality
Isolated from business systems
Internet only, no path to internal systems
Plant equipment separated from the office network
Multi-site connectivity
Campuses, branch offices, garages, shops and remote staff should run on the same standards rather than four different networks that each need to be relearned. We connect locations with encrypted site-to-site links, keep configuration consistent and document what is where.
Connect locations to Mayer Networks private cloud infrastructure
Step 1
We document existing equipment, cabling, connectivity and traffic requirements.
Step 2
A design that accounts for capacity, segmentation, redundancy and security requirements.
Step 3
Equipment is configured, labeled, documented and installed with a plan for cutover.
Step 4
Ongoing monitoring, firmware maintenance and configuration management.
The standard we build toward
Every environment is different, but the target is consistent. These are the conditions we design toward and then maintain, whether we are correcting an inherited network or building a new one.
A firewall sized for the circuit, configured on purpose and kept current.
Managed switches that can be monitored, updated and reconfigured without a truck roll.
Designed placement instead of access points added one at a time over the years.
Cameras, guests, voice and production separated from business systems.
Labeled ports, recorded configuration and diagrams that survive staff turnover.
Equipment that reports in, so problems are found before the phone rings.
Port count, PoE budget and bandwidth planned for the next few years, not just today.
Failover designed where losing the circuit would stop the organization.
Equipment categories
We standardize on manageable equipment so configuration, monitoring and firmware maintenance stay consistent across your locations. Hardware is specified, procured, configured, labeled and documented before it is installed.
Firewalls & security appliances
Gateways & routing
Managed PoE switching
Wireless access points
How Mayer Networks handles procurement and hardware lifecycle
Before and after
Regional network design is constrained by physical reality more than by product choice. Older buildings in this area hold masonry and plaster that wireless does not pass through politely, plants and warehouses hold racking and metal that changes coverage as inventory moves, and campus sites are often connected by fiber that someone trenched years ago with no current documentation. A survey answers questions a datasheet cannot.
Circuit availability varies street by street. Fiber is available at some addresses and not at the one next door, and a design that assumes symmetric bandwidth everywhere will fail at the branch office. We design around the connectivity actually available at each site, including failover where an outage would stop work, and we document what is installed so the next change does not begin with discovery.
We coordinate structured cabling with qualified installers and handle the design, equipment and configuration.
In most cases yes, if the equipment is supported and manageable. We will tell you plainly when hardware should be replaced.
We do not sell circuits, but we coordinate with carriers, design redundancy and manage the equipment that uses them.
Segmentation divides a network so a compromised device cannot reach everything else. It is one of the highest-value security controls for most organizations.
Tell us what you are running and what is not working. We will tell you plainly what we would do about it.
