Networking

Your network is the circulatory system of your digital enterprise. Alchemilla Ventures designs and deploys enterprise-grade networking infrastructure that is fast, resilient, and secure — serving organisations.

Network Excellence

From campus LANs to data centre fabrics to SD-WAN connecting branch offices, network design directly impacts application performance, user experience, and security posture. Our network architects hold CCNP, CCIE, and JNCIE certifications, bringing enterprise-grade expertise to every engagement.

Our Networking Services

• Network Architecture & Design: We design networks for your specific requirements — small office LANs, multi-floor campus networks, data centre fabrics (Spine-Leaf with VXLAN EVPN), and multi-site WAN connectivity. Our designs consider capacity, redundancy, security segmentation, and future growth.

• Switching & Routing: Deployment and configuration of enterprise switches and routers from Cisco (Catalyst, Nexus), Aruba (CX series), Juniper (EX, QFX), and Dell. We implement advanced features — VLAN segmentation, STP/RSTP/MSTP, LACP link aggregation, OSPF/BGP routing, VRF-lite for multi-tenant isolation, and QoS for voice/video prioritisation.

• Wireless Networking: High-density Wi-Fi 6/6E design and deployment using Cisco Meraki, Aruba Central, or Ruckus Cloud. We perform RF site surveys (using Ekahau) to optimise AP placement, channel planning, and transmit power — critical for concrete-heavy construction. Features include 802.1X authentication, guest captive portals, and seamless roaming.

• SD-WAN Implementation: Connect your head office to branch locations securely and cost-effectively. We implement SD-WAN solutions from Cisco (Viptela/Catalyst SD-WAN), VMware (VeloCloud), or Fortinet — reducing MPLS costs by 40–60% while improving application performance with dynamic path selection.

• Firewall & Network Security: Deploy next-generation firewalls — Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet FortiGate, Check Point — with intrusion prevention (IPS), application control, URL filtering, and SSL decryption. We implement zero-trust network access (ZTNA) policies that follow users regardless of location — essential for hybrid workforces.

• Load Balancing & Application Delivery: Deploy F5 BIG-IP, Citrix ADC (NetScaler), or HAProxy for application load balancing, SSL offloading, and global server load balancing (GSLB) across multiple data centres.

• Network Monitoring & Management: Implement network monitoring with SolarWinds, PRTG, or open-source tools (LibreNMS, Zabbix) — SNMP monitoring, NetFlow/sFlow analysis, configuration backup, and automated alerting for our NOC team.
