Network & IT Infrastructure Services
Unreliable networks, weak Wi-Fi and disconnected sites slow everything down. Innovative designs, builds and manages the firewalls, switching, wireless and cloud connectivity that keep your business running securely, wherever you operate.
Your Network Wasn't Built for What Your Business Needs Today
Most networks grow one router, switch, or Wi-Fi extender at a time — until slow connections, dropped calls, and security gaps start interrupting the work day. When something breaks, it's rarely clear whether the cause is the firewall, the switch, the internet provider, or the Wi-Fi.
- ●Wi-Fi drops or slows down during meetings, calls, and busy periods
- ●Firewall and switch settings were never documented, so no one is sure what's actually configured
- ●Multiple locations can't reliably share files, applications, or phone systems
- ●Guest, staff, and device traffic all sit on the same network with no segmentation
- ●No one is monitoring the network, so problems are discovered only after they cause downtime
You Need a Network That Works, Not One More Thing to Manage
You're focused on running your business — not troubleshooting Wi-Fi, decoding firewall rules, or figuring out why one office can reach a file share and another can't.
Innovative designs, builds, and manages network and IT infrastructure for growing and multi-location businesses every day. We understand how firewalls, switching, wireless, and cloud connectivity need to work together, and we act as the one accountable partner who keeps them running — coordinating with your internet providers and software vendors when specialized support is needed, so you're never left figuring out who owns the problem.
One Business, Many Connected Locations and Systems
Your firewall, switches, Wi-Fi, phone system, cloud applications and remote access all depend on the same underlying network foundation. When Innovative manages that foundation, every location and every system built on top of it runs more reliably.
Everything Your Network Needs, Managed Together
Your firewall is only one part of the infrastructure your business depends on. Innovative manages the network, switching, wireless, cloud connectivity and security underneath it, giving you one accountable technology partner instead of a pile of disconnected vendors.
Network Architecture & Design
A network that grows one piece at a time eventually breaks under its own weight. We design network architecture around how your business actually operates, so performance, security and future growth are planned in from the start.
- Network design & documentation
- Capacity planning for growth
- Requirements-based technology recommendations
Firewall Management & Security
Your firewall is the first line of defense between your business and the internet, and it needs to be configured correctly and kept current. We manage firewall policy, updates and monitoring using solutions from providers such as Fortinet and Cisco Meraki, matched to what your business needs.
- Firewall configuration & policy management
- Security patching & firmware updates
- Intrusion detection & traffic monitoring
Switching & Wired Network Infrastructure
Reliable switching keeps every device, application and phone system connected without bottlenecks. We design, configure and maintain the switching layer that ties your physical cabling to a working network.
- Managed switch configuration
- VLAN-aware switching
- Redundancy & failover planning
Wireless Network & Wi-Fi Design
Weak coverage or interference slows down everyone in the building. We design wireless networks based on an actual site assessment, so coverage, capacity and security match how your space is really used.
- Wireless site surveys & access point placement
- Guest, staff & device network separation
- Ongoing performance monitoring
VLAN Segmentation & Security Zones
Keeping guest traffic, staff devices and sensitive systems on one flat network creates unnecessary risk. VLAN segmentation separates traffic into logical zones, limiting what a compromised device can reach — one layer of a broader security strategy, not a replacement for it.
- VLAN design & implementation
- Guest, staff & device network separation
- Access control between segments
SD-WAN & Multi-Site Connectivity
Businesses with multiple locations need reliable, centrally managed connections between sites and the cloud. SD-WAN gives you visibility and control over how traffic moves between offices, data centers and cloud applications.
- SD-WAN design & deployment
- Centralized policy management
- Application-aware traffic routing
VPN & Secure Remote Access
Remote and hybrid staff need a secure way to reach internal systems without exposing your network to unnecessary risk. We configure and manage VPN and remote access so your team can work securely from anywhere.
- Site-to-site & remote-access VPN
- Multi-factor authentication for remote access
- Access policy & device management
Multi-Location Network Management
Running multiple offices shouldn't mean managing multiple disconnected networks. We standardize configuration, monitoring and support across every location, so opening a new site doesn't mean starting from scratch.
- Standardized multi-site configuration
- Centralized monitoring across locations
- Consistent security policy enforcement
Microsoft Azure Networking
Connecting your on-premises network to Microsoft Azure requires careful planning around routing, security and identity. We design and manage the networking layer that links your business to Azure-hosted resources.
- Site-to-site & VPN connectivity to Azure
- Virtual network design
- Hybrid identity & access alignment
AWS Networking
The same discipline applies to AWS: secure, well-planned connectivity between your network and cloud-hosted workloads. We help design and manage the networking that ties your business to AWS environments.
- VPC & network design
- Secure connectivity to AWS resources
- Ongoing configuration management
Network Monitoring & Proactive Alerting
A problem caught before anyone notices is a problem that never becomes a crisis. We monitor firewalls, switches, wireless networks and connectivity around the clock, so issues get addressed before they interrupt the work day.
- 24/7 network monitoring
- Automated alerting & escalation
- Regular performance reporting
Network Lifecycle Management
Network equipment ages, firmware falls out of support, and what worked for ten people doesn't always work for fifty. We track the lifecycle of your network hardware and plan upgrades before end-of-life becomes a security or performance problem.
- Hardware lifecycle tracking
- Planned upgrade roadmaps
- Firmware & end-of-life management
Every Piece of Your Network Works Together
One accountable partner for the connectivity, security and infrastructure underneath everything you run.
Enterprise Capability Without Forcing Every Business Into the Same Box
Innovative designs around requirements first and technology second.
Larger, distributed and business-critical environments may call for Cisco or Cisco Meraki networking. Other organizations may be better served by Fortinet or Ubiquiti platforms based on size, features, operational requirements and budget.
In the cloud, Innovative designs connectivity around Microsoft Azure and AWS environments and integrates those networks with the customer's locations, identity and security architecture.
Security Built Into the Network, Not Bolted On
A firewall alone isn't a security strategy, and neither is a single VLAN. Real network security layers segmentation, access control, monitoring and firewall policy together, so a problem in one area doesn't become a problem everywhere.
You Wouldn't Leave the Server Room Door Unlocked
Every business owner understands physical security instinctively: lock the doors, control who has keys, watch the cameras. Network security works the same way — it just protects entrances you can't see.
- A locked door is like a firewall — it keeps unwanted visitors out.
- A security camera is like network monitoring — it watches for problems around the clock.
- A key card system is like VLAN segmentation and access control — different areas, different access.
- A backup generator is like backup and disaster recovery — ready if something goes wrong.
Need the Physical Infrastructure Too?
Network architecture depends on the physical layer underneath it. When a project requires new copper or fiber cabling, MDF/IDF work, racks, pathways or related low-voltage infrastructure, Innovative can coordinate the physical installation with the network design.
That means the firewall, switches, access points, rack layout and cabling can be planned as one project instead of handed between unrelated vendors.

Common Questions About Network & IT Infrastructure
Do I need to replace my current firewall and network equipment to work with Innovative?
Not necessarily. We start by assessing what you already have and recommend changes based on your actual security and performance needs, not a fixed product list.
Can you support multiple offices or remote and hybrid staff?
Yes. We design and manage multi-site networking, SD-WAN and VPN so every location and every remote employee gets consistent performance and security, no matter where they're working from.
Does segmenting our network with VLANs make us fully secure?
No single control makes a network fully secure. VLAN segmentation is one layer of a broader strategy that also includes firewall policy, access control, monitoring and backup, not a stand-alone guarantee against every threat.
What network vendors does Innovative support?
Innovative designs around business and technical requirements rather than forcing every customer into one platform. Depending on scale, security requirements, management needs and budget, environments may use Cisco, Cisco Meraki, Fortinet, Ubiquiti UniFi and other appropriate technologies. We can also assess an existing environment before recommending whether it should be retained, standardized or replaced.
Do you design networks or only install the hardware?
We do both. Innovative can assess the existing environment, design the network architecture, recommend technology, configure and deploy the equipment, migrate services and provide ongoing monitoring and management. The goal is an infrastructure strategy, not simply a hardware installation.
Can you connect multiple offices together?
Yes. Innovative designs multi-site connectivity using technologies appropriate to the environment, which may include secure site-to-site VPN, SD-WAN, centralized firewall management and cloud-connected networking.
Can you connect our office network to Microsoft Azure or AWS?
Yes. Innovative can design hybrid connectivity between business locations and cloud environments, including Azure and AWS networking, routing and secure site-to-site connectivity. The specific architecture depends on workload, resiliency, security, bandwidth and cost requirements.
Do you install Cisco Meraki networks?
Yes. Cisco Meraki is one of the platforms Innovative uses for cloud-managed firewall, switching, wireless and multi-location networking when it fits the customer's requirements.
Do you work with Fortinet and Ubiquiti?
Yes. Innovative can deploy and support Fortinet and Ubiquiti technologies in appropriate environments. Platform selection depends on business requirements, security, scale, manageability and budget rather than assuming one product fits every organization.
Can you segment guest Wi-Fi, IoT devices and business systems?
Yes. Network segmentation can separate systems such as employees, servers, voice, guest Wi-Fi, IoT and production devices according to security and operational requirements. Segmentation is often combined with firewall policy and identity/security controls as part of a broader security architecture.
How is this different from your IT Infrastructure & Cabling service?
Network & IT Infrastructure Services focuses on the logical and active technology layer — architecture, firewalls, switching, Wi-Fi, segmentation, site connectivity and cloud networking. IT Infrastructure & Cabling focuses primarily on the physical layer — copper and fiber cabling, racks, pathways and related low-voltage infrastructure. Innovative can coordinate both when a project requires an end-to-end build.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing depends on the size of your network, the number of locations, and the mix of services you need, from firewall management to full network design and cloud connectivity. We provide a clear proposal after an initial assessment.
