Use cases

Typical situations, described without naming clients: the context, the challenges, our approach and the intended result.

List of use cases

Datacenter modernization

Typical context

A multi-site industrial company whose main server room runs on hardware that has reached end of support.

Challenges

  • Servers and storage out of warranty
  • Non-redundant power and cooling
  • No monitoring of the physical environment

Approach

  1. Audit of the existing setup and sizing of the target
  2. Server and storage renewal, introduction of virtualization
  3. UPS, racks and server room monitoring

Expected result

A redundant, monitored server room, ready to absorb growth over the coming years.

Virtualization migration

Typical context

An organization that wants to change virtualization platforms after a change in its licensing model.

Challenges

  • Dozens of virtual machines in production
  • Very short downtime windows
  • Teams to train on the new platform

Approach

  1. Inventory and classification of machines by criticality
  2. Pilot on non-critical services, then migration in waves
  3. Knowledge transfer and operations documentation

Expected result

A well-managed virtualization platform, migrated without major service interruption.

Infrastructure hardening

Typical context

A services company whose flat network exposes every workstation and server in the event of an intrusion.

Challenges

  • No segmentation between departments
  • Workstations protected by antivirus alone
  • No centralized logging

Approach

  1. Security audit and traffic flow mapping
  2. Next-generation firewall and VLAN segmentation
  3. EDR on workstations, MFA and centralized logs

Expected result

Layered defense in which a compromise stays contained and quickly becomes visible.

Network deployment

Typical context

A public body moving into a new multi-story building that must connect its existing sites.

Challenges

  • Structured cabling to design from scratch
  • Interconnection with remote sites
  • Tight move-in deadlines

Approach

  1. LAN and WAN architecture design
  2. Cabling, fiber optics and equipment installation
  3. Acceptance testing, documentation and up-to-date diagrams

Expected result

A documented, segmented network, operational as soon as the teams arrive.

Wi-Fi infrastructure

Typical context

A hotel whose guest Wi-Fi does not properly cover the rooms and common areas.

Challenges

  • Dead zones and inconsistent throughput
  • Guest network mixed with the management network
  • No visibility on usage

Approach

  1. On-site radio coverage survey
  2. Deployment of business-grade access points with centralized management
  3. Network separation and guest captive portal

Expected result

Consistent coverage, an isolated guest network and centralized monitoring.

Backup & DRP

Typical context

An SME whose backups have never been restored and which has no recovery plan.

Challenges

  • Backups stored on the same network as production
  • Unknown restore time
  • No written procedure

Approach

  1. Analysis of recovery needs for each application
  2. Backup with an off-site, immutable copy
  3. Writing the DRP and scheduled restore tests

Expected result

Backups protected against ransomware and a tested recovery plan.
