Understanding network and application dependencies
Application performance and resilience depend on network paths, identity services and hosting arrangements. Map those dependencies before changing the infrastructure they rely on.
Network & Infrastructure Insights
Planning capacity, resilience and a controlled transition.
This topic collects Umbrella Tech's guidance on IT infrastructure services: the firewalls, switching, Wi-Fi, servers, cloud hosting and recovery arrangements an organisation runs on. It is for Perth and Australian organisations planning a refresh, a new site or better resilience, and it links to the network infrastructure services we design, install and document.

Choosing a firewall platform
Firewall platforms differ in management, licensing and how they suit your team's skills. Palo Alto vs Fortinet compares two common next-generation firewall options for Australian businesses.
Planning firewall and network refresh projects
A refresh plan should cover required traffic, equipment constraints, migration stages and how to roll back. Copying a legacy rule set without review can carry old complexity into new equipment.
Defining recovery requirements and testing restores
Agree recovery priorities with the people responsible for each business service. Test agreed restore scenarios and record missing dependencies, actual results and the work needed to meet expectations.

What does Umbrella Tech provide for IT infrastructure services?
We design, install, test and document network and infrastructure changes: firewalls, switching, business Wi-Fi, monitoring, server and cloud moves, and backup and recovery. We can deliver a full project or the onsite stage for your IT provider.
Who is this guidance for?
IT managers, business owners and IT providers responsible for office, warehouse or multi-site networks. If you are moving premises, the Office Relocation IT Checklist covers the infrastructure lead times to plan around.
What outcomes should an infrastructure project deliver?
Equipment that works as designed, services tested with the people who use them, and a handover record someone else can support from. Our Network & Infrastructure Projects page links two published case studies.
