Network & cloud consulting

Network and cloud consulting
that supports production change.

CCIE-level consulting for the connectivity side of migrations, recoveries and cutovers — the routing, security, DNS and load-balancing dependencies that decide whether a move works — for businesses and delivery partners that need senior depth without a full-time hire.

Consulting

One practice, in service of the change you are making

Network & Cloud Infrastructure Consulting

Available now

CCIE-level network and cloud consulting for businesses and delivery partners whose migration, recovery or production change depends on connectivity getting it right — architecture review, dependency mapping, hybrid connectivity, traffic cutover planning and validation, without hiring a full-time senior network engineer.

What it covers

  • Network architecture design and review for production change
  • Routing, security-policy, firewall and load-balancer dependency mapping
  • Hybrid connectivity across on-premises, AWS, Azure, GCP and third-party services
  • DNS, TLS and traffic-cutover planning with rollback gates
  • Pre- and post-change validation and disaster-recovery checks
  • Ongoing remote network operations support within an agreed scope

When the answer is a project

If the review shows the workload should move, be recovered or be stabilized, the same engineer can carry it through the six-stage migration method.

Why Layer7 Consulting

Engineering depth, not theory

Every recommendation comes from someone who has designed, migrated, cut over and operated real production networks — not a generalist working from frameworks.

Network, cloud and Linux in one engineer

The routing and security dependencies, the cloud landing zone and the Linux/VPS workload are looked at together. No handoffs between specialists.

Remote-first by design

Consulting is delivered remotely across Canada and the US, with flexible scheduling, async communication and written findings where they are part of the scope. Local meetings around Milton and Halton when useful.

No agency overhead

You work directly with the senior engineer. No account managers, no junior staff doing the actual work.

Talk through the change before it happens

A 30-minute discovery call. Bring a brief outline of the migration, cutover or connectivity change. We'll determine fit, clarify the immediate risk, and identify the most useful next bounded step.
