Infrastructure & Networks
The physical and hybrid foundation behind dependable systems: compute, storage, virtualisation, wired and wireless networks, and secure connectivity.
Overview
KNEXEL designs, builds and supports the physical and virtual foundation your business runs on: servers and storage, virtualisation, structured cabling, LAN and Wi-Fi, firewalls, secure site-to-site connectivity and server rooms. We work with Cisco, Fortinet, VMware, Proxmox, Dell, HP, Ubiquiti and Veeam, and design every solution around capacity, redundancy and the ability to recover.
Projects range from fitting out a new office (cabling, network racks, access points, CCTV and access-control systems) to replacing ageing servers with a virtualised cluster and tested backup, or connecting branches over SD-WAN and VPN. Every delivery ends with as-built documentation and monitoring, so the infrastructure is ready to operate once it is installed.
Where it helps
- Performance or outages affect business operations
- Sites and systems have grown without a common architecture
- Core equipment is approaching capacity or end of life
What we cover
Our approach
We baseline capacity and dependencies, design for resilience and maintainability, then implement in controlled phases with documentation and an operational handover.
Results for infrastructure
- More resilient core services
- Predictable network performance
- Documented, supportable architecture
How we deliver
- 01
Survey and design
Site survey, capacity and risk assessment, then a documented design covering network topology, server and storage sizing, power, cooling and security.
- 02
Supply
We specify and procure hardware and licences from authorised channels, matched to the design rather than to what happens to be in stock.
- 03
Build and migrate
Cabling, rack installation, configuration and migration of workloads in planned maintenance windows, with testing and rollback at each stage.
- 04
Document and support
As-built documentation, monitoring, backup verification and ongoing hardware and software support under a service agreement.
Frequently asked questions
Do you install structured cabling and security systems?
Yes. We design and install copper and fibre cabling, network racks, Wi-Fi, CCTV and access-control systems for offices, hotels, clinics and industrial sites, and certify the cabling on completion.
Should we virtualise our servers?
In most cases, yes. Virtualisation lets several workloads share reliable hardware, makes backup and recovery far faster and simplifies future upgrades. We deploy VMware and Proxmox depending on budget and requirements.
How do you protect against hardware failure?
Through redundancy where it matters (power, disks, network paths and, for critical systems, clustered hosts), combined with monitored backups and regular restore tests.
Can you take over infrastructure another company installed?
Yes. We start with an audit and documentation of what exists, fix the urgent risks and then bring the environment under monitoring and support.
Do you supply the equipment as well?
Yes. We supply servers, storage, network equipment and licences together with installation and warranty support, so there is one party responsible for the result.
