I am looking for a consulting company that has multiple CCNP or CCIE level network engineers. I currently have a fairly strong consultant, but lack of a backup when he is not available is not a workable situation. Previously, we went through several engineers that were just not able to resolve issues in a timely fashion. What I need is a company with multiple highly capable network engineers, so that we have the availability and depth of knowledge required.<\/p>\n
Since we started on off-site backup/DR to a co-location site, and added redundant WAN connections at our headquarters, growing complexity has led to increased network engineering demands. Currently we have IPSec VPNs on Cisco ASAs connecting our sites, and considering MPLS, as well as planning for the Windows 8 Enterprise Direct Access, so lots of changes in the works. Currently we have managed routers through mostly AT&T and Level3 (trying to get rid of AT&T), but will consider allowing the 3rd party to manage.<\/p>","upvoteCount":6,"answerCount":3,"datePublished":"2013-07-09T14:55:34.000Z","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"dennisobrien8210","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/dennisobrien8210"},"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"
Check out The Fulcrum Group<\/a> . They are located in Keller and happen to be a Spiceworks partner. David Johnson<\/a> is their green guy representative here in the community. I have had them do work for us on Cisco equipment in the past, and I felt they did a great job throughout the entire process. Perhaps they can help you with your project above.<\/p>","upvoteCount":0,"datePublished":"2013-07-09T15:55:43.000Z","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/t/network-engineering-company-recommendations-for-dfw-area/224448/2","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"NetworkNerd","url":"https://community.spiceworks.com/u/NetworkNerd"}},"suggestedAnswer":[{"@type":"Answer","text":" I am looking for a consulting company that has multiple CCNP or CCIE level network engineers.
