Campus and Data Center Network Modernization

A network modernization program that replaces aging switching and routing infrastructure, implements micro-segmentation, and delivers improved visibility and performance across campus and data center networks.

PRACTICE

Digital Foundations

CLIENT PROFILE

Military installation or federal campus upgrading network infrastructure to support increased bandwidth, Zero Trust segmentation, and operational resilience

Challenge

End-of-life network equipment creating reliability and security risks
Flat network architecture with limited segmentation between mission and administrative traffic
Insufficient network visibility for troubleshooting and security event correlation

Approach

Design spine-leaf or collapsed-core architecture aligned to traffic patterns and growth projections
Implement VLAN segmentation, micro-segmentation, and network access control policies
Deploy network monitoring, flow analysis, and anomaly detection tooling
Plan phased migration with rollback procedures to minimize mission disruption

Typical Outcomes

Increased network throughput and reduced latency for mission applications
Improved security posture through segmentation and east-west traffic visibility
Reduced operational incidents and faster mean time to resolution

Procurement Paths

ITES-4H for Army network hardware acquisition
NASA SEWP V for networking equipment and software
GSA MAS for network engineering and design services
