We are looking for a firm that provides remote hands on advanced networking support for several device brands. We have some Cisco routers and ASA firewalls, some Juniper firewalls, some F5 load balancers with Dell and HP switches. We want to find a resource that has a pool of engineers certified/trained in the 3 core technologies. The idea would be that they can provide project support as well as some ad hoc and emergency support. We have maintenance contracts, but need a firm that can help us make changes and even suggest design changes. We would lean towards a deep regional company whose engineers would often be the same when we call, so they would have familiarity with us. We have an office in CA and one in CO so US based is needed, but onsite is probably not.

Any recommendations you want to share would be appreciated. No self promotion allowed I guess.

I’d say start doing some Google searches for consulting firms in your area, and then interview them. Make sure to get a list of recommendations from them, then verify those recommendations. That should help weed out the bad firms.

Thanks Jimmy, that’s another track I’m working on. I just thought Spicy recommendations would give me more refined results than Google. Many people here seem to know their stuff!

I can’t recommend, but I know one you should steer clear of… Local North Atlanta company starts with the letter “J.”.
