Assessment & Sizing
User sizing, site sizing, internet bandwidth review, VPN concurrency planning, HA recommendation, and vendor-fit evaluation for branch or head-office edge security.
Routing, Switching, Firewalls, Edge Connectivity
Network Services Portfolio
MBAS provides practical network services for branch offices, SMBs, mid-sized organizations, and growing enterprise environments. This page explains the service types we deliver across firewall, routing, switching, WAN edge, branch connectivity, and network operations.
Firewall Deployment
Palo Alto, FortiGate, Check Point, Sophos, SonicWall, and Barracuda rollout, migration, hardening, VPN, and support services.
Routing Services
Cisco ISR, ASR, Catalyst edge routing, branch WAN design, hybrid connectivity, and internet/MPLS integration support.
Switching Services
Cisco Catalyst and SMB switching for access, branch, campus, PoE, trunking, VLAN segmentation, and stack deployment.
Operations & Support
Network optimization, troubleshooting, firmware planning, health checks, documentation, managed support, and AMC-aligned service delivery.
Firewall Network Services
We help customers select, deploy, migrate, secure, and support firewalls as part of a broader network design rather than as isolated appliances.
Installation & Migration
New deployment, firewall replacement, policy migration, NAT migration, VLAN interface migration, WAN handoff integration, and planned cutover execution.
VPN & Security Policies
IPsec VPN, SSL VPN, remote-access onboarding, policy creation, application control, web filtering, admin hardening, logging, and alert alignment.
Post-Go-Live Support
Troubleshooting, rule optimization, firmware lifecycle planning, backup review, compliance-aware checks, and managed support for stable long-term operation.
| Vendor family | Service scope | Typical deliverables | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Palo Alto | NGFW design, threat prevention, branch edge security | Policy baseline, migration, GlobalProtect-ready planning, optimization | Security-led SMB and mid-market deployments |
| FortiGate | UTM, VPN, branch segmentation, HA | UTM rollout, VPN setup, SD-WAN thinking, rule cleanup, support | Value-focused branch and campus edge |
| Check Point / Sophos / SonicWall / Barracuda | Branch and SMB security rollout | Deployment, migration, remote access, policy alignment, support | SMB and distributed office environments |
Routing Services
We deliver routing services for branch WAN, internet edge, WAN failover, secure inter-site connectivity, and structured network growth.
WAN & Edge Design
Branch WAN planning, internet/MPLS handoff, dual-link design, failover planning, routing topology review, and edge architecture support.
Cisco Router Deployment
ISR branch rollout, ASR or higher-performance edge deployment, branch routing setup, WAN services integration, and secure edge positioning.
Connectivity & Inter-Site Access
Site-to-site connectivity planning, branch-to-HQ access, remote site reachability, segmentation-aware routing, and resilient path design.
Optimization & Troubleshooting
Path review, failover validation, packet-flow troubleshooting, documentation, and post-deployment tuning for stable WAN and branch performance.
Branch Offices
Small and mid-sized office routing for internet access, VPN connectivity, and application reachability.
Regional Sites
Higher-capacity branch or hub routing with better resiliency and service growth support.
WAN Aggregation
Structured routing for larger edge, aggregation, and service handoff environments.
Switching Services
We support switching projects from small managed access layers to structured enterprise campus access and branch distribution environments.
Access Layer Design
User VLAN planning, departmental segmentation, port-profile thinking, AP/camera/phone PoE planning, and access switch placement.
Switch Rollout
Catalyst and SMB switch installation, base configuration, trunking, VLAN creation, uplink alignment, and staged rollout for production use.
Stacking & Resilience
Stack design thinking, uplink resilience, STP-aware deployment, access continuity review, and structured branch or campus growth support.
Operations & Documentation
Port troubleshooting, utilization review, patching guidance, inventory structure, topology documentation, and support readiness for day-2 operations.
| Switching area | What we provide | Typical deliverables | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small Business Switching | Managed switching for branch and SMB sites | VLANs, PoE setup, uplinks, access rollout | Small offices and branch locations |
| Catalyst Access | Secure enterprise access deployment | Access stack rollout, segmentation, policy-aligned port setup | Mid-sized offices and campus access |
| Distribution / Aggregation | Higher-layer switching alignment | Uplink planning, resiliency review, structured traffic handling | Growing network environments |
Managed Network Operations
Beyond deployment, we support customers who need a reliable operating model for day-2 changes, troubleshooting, performance checks, and lifecycle planning.
Health Checks
Configuration review, uptime awareness, interface checks, resource review, and service validation for firewalls, routers, and switches.
Issue Resolution
Connectivity troubleshooting, policy-impact review, routing issue analysis, switch port review, VPN troubleshooting, and escalation support.
Change Support
Rule changes, VLAN additions, branch expansion support, WAN change review, access updates, and controlled implementation support.
AMC & Managed Support
Periodic review, operational assistance, documentation continuity, upgrade planning, and structured support for business-critical network environments.
Common Network Use Cases
These are the kinds of customer outcomes MBAS usually supports in real projects.
New Branch Setup
Deploy firewall, router, switching, VLANs, and secure remote connectivity for a new business location.
Firewall Replacement
Replace an existing edge firewall with cleaner policy, VPN continuity, and reduced migration risk.
Network Refresh
Modernize routing and switching for better resilience, segmentation, and user/device growth.
Ongoing Network Support
Keep branch and core connectivity stable through managed review, troubleshooting, and operational support.
