Strategic Partners / Cisco

Connect. Secure. Operate. Optimize.

A modern network has to deliver more than connectivity. Ark designs, deploys, operates, and continually optimizes Cisco environments across Catalyst and Meraki campus and branch, UCS data centers, and Secure Firewall, with 24×7 monitoring and full software lifecycle management behind them.

Ark Technology Consultants
Ark’s Cisco practice
  • High-level design & architecture (new build and refresh)
  • Switching, routing, SD-WAN & enterprise wireless
  • Security integrated into the network fabric
  • 24×7 monitoring & network operations
  • Full software lifecycle management
  • Enterprise Agreement (EA) modeling & smart-hands delivery
Why Ark + Cisco

Security Engineered into the Network, Not Bolted on Later.

Ark designs, deploys, operates, and optimizes Cisco networks built on Cisco Catalyst and Cisco Meraki, so the network stays secure, available, and aligned to the business rather than just installed and left alone.

This is the same practice that architects casino properties, manufacturing plants, and public-sector campuses: environments where visibility and uptime are business requirements and the network cannot be an experiment.
