Intelligent Network Design - Matching Your IT Strategy 

A good network not only keeps operations running. It grows along when companies expand, new locations are added, or technical requirements increase. It ensures stable connections, security, and remains reliable even during high data traffic.

A poorly planned network, on the other hand, reaches its limits precisely when it needs to evolve: More devices, higher loads, new security requirements – and suddenly bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, or scaling problems occur.

CMS advises companies on the strategic planning and implementation of their network infrastructure and develops network solutions that are precisely tailored to your company: resilient, adaptable, and ready for tomorrow's requirements.

Networks that grow with you: secure, fast, scalable 

Many companies must adhere to specific requirements, whether for public tenders or individual network modernization. Together with you, we find the best solution within these framework conditions. As manufacturer-independent partners, we advise you objectively and select the most suitable and economically sensible technology - be it Extreme Networks, HPE Aruba, Arista or Huawei. 

  • 01

    Kickoff & Analysis

    What are your requirements? Which bandwidths and security guidelines apply? Who communicates with whom in the network? Is there an existing infrastructure or is it a new setup? Such questions are at the beginning of our collaboration.

  • 02

    Workshop & Design Development

    In workshops, we examine technical aspects such as network segmentation and structure, security requirements and compliance guidelines, scalability and future-proofing, performance and bandwidth optimization, manufacturer selection, and cost-benefit analysis. Based on this, we develop an initial design that will be refined later.

  • 03

    Testing & Optimization

    Before final implementation, we test the design in test environments and simulate various scenarios. This allows us to identify and optimize or eliminate potential weaknesses early on.

  • 04

    Implementation & Migration

    Together, we decide on either a soft migration (gradual introduction with minimal downtime) or a hard migration (complete switch to the new infrastructure in a clearly defined cut-over process), depending on what works best for you.

    Handover

    You won't receive a black box system from us. Instead, you'll get a thorough introduction to the new network design to manage it independently.

    Managed Services

    Optionally, we support you with regular updates, hardware and software maintenance, or managed services that can extend to taking over complete network operations (Network as a Service).

Common network problems and how to avoid them 

A powerful and secure network is the backbone of any modern IT infrastructure today. However, in practice, companies repeatedly face the same challenges: missing security concepts, unclear performance requirements, lack of transparency, outdated systems, or unclear responsibilities. These vulnerabilities not only threaten stability and security but also the future viability of the entire company. Our experts identify such risks early and develop solutions that make your network secure, scalable, and future-oriented.

  • Missing security strategy

    Without a clear security concept, your network remains vulnerable to attacks, data loss and unauthorized access. We develop customized security architectures that protect your network while keeping it flexible. 

  • Unclear performance requirements

    Those who plan today must keep tomorrow's requirements in mind. Among other things, we already consider bandwidths and scalability that may be necessary in the future. 

  • Missing transparency & forensics

    Many companies don't have a clear overview of where their data flows. We integrate analysis and monitoring tools for more control. 

  • Aging infrastructure

    A network that cannot keep pace with business requirements quickly becomes a bottleneck. We evaluate your current IT and identify potential for optimization. 

  • Misconfigurations & Legacy Issues

    In many companies, there are unrecognized configuration errors or outdated network settings that lead to unexpected problems. We analyze and clean up your network for maximum stability.

  • Unclear responsibilities

    Often internal resources or a clear concept for network management are lacking. We support you in defining processes and creating structures so that your network is managed efficiently - whether through internal teams or supporting services. 

Why CMS? We live network! 

Why CMS? Because networks are more than just technology. They are structures on which companies grow - or fail. That's why we don't use off-the-shelf solutions, but design infrastructures that fit your reality. Manufacturer-independent, strategically thought out, and focused on what's essential.

We don't offer pre-packaged box solutions. We analyze existing systems, anticipate usage scenarios, and integrate what makes sense instead of rushing to new hardware. From the initial concept to training your team, we accompany you through the entire process.

Whether medium-sized business or corporate structure: With over 20 years of experience, we know what matters. And we build networks that grow with your requirements - even when demands increase.
