Network & Infrastructure Projects
Network and infrastructure projects replace, extend or monitor the firewalls, switches, Wi-Fi, servers and links an organisation runs on. Umbrella Tech provides IT infrastructure services for organisations in Perth and across Australia, from design to onsite installation, testing with users and a written handover. Two published case studies show this work in practice, one for a school and one for an IT services provider.
Case studies in this area
Santa Maria College
Monitoring, Teams call quality reporting, offboarding automation and a repeatable deployment platform, built alongside the college's IT team.
- Every wireless access point on campus, more than 200, reporting its client count every five minutes
- 18 linked dashboards, from an operations overview down to a single device
- Offboarding requests that look up the leaver in Microsoft Entra ID before any change is made
- Zabbix
- Grafana
- Microsoft Graph API
- Microsoft Entra ID
- Microsoft Teams
- Freshservice
Rosh Tech
A firewall, switch and Wi-Fi replacement at a client site, done in one visit to Rosh Tech's written scope and confirmed by the staff on site.
- Every device and connection photographed and recorded before the cutover
- A Palo Alto Networks firewall, a UniFi switch and two UniFi access points installed
- A 12-page handover document with as-built details, test results and recommendations
- Palo Alto Networks
- UniFi switching
- UniFi Wi-Fi
- Site-to-cloud VPN
- IP desk phones
Illustrative project scopes
These describe the kinds of work we deliver. They are not accounts of specific client engagements.
Firewall, switch and Wi-Fi replacement
Record the current set-up, install and connect the new equipment, then test every service with the people on site.
Typical deliverablesRecord of the current set-up, installed equipment, tests confirmed on site, handover document
Network monitoring and visibility
Bring wireless, switching, servers and the internet connection into one view, with enough history to spot patterns.
Typical deliverablesMonitoring coverage, linked dashboards, alert thresholds with notes
Server, cloud and recovery improvement
Plan where workloads should run, move them in stages and test agreed restore scenarios.
Typical deliverablesWorkload placement plan, staged moves, restore test results
What IT infrastructure services cover
IT infrastructure services are the design, installation and support of the hardware and core services that applications depend on: networks, wireless, servers, cloud hosting, backup and recovery. Network infrastructure services are the part focused on firewalls, switching, Wi-Fi and the links between sites.
How outcomes are validated
We agree how each change will be checked before work begins. Depending on scope, evidence can include:
A complete delivery record
Each project ends with a handover document covering the scope, equipment changes, as-built details, test results, risks and recommendations. Sign-in details stay out of the document and are shared through a secure channel.

Frequently asked questions
What does Umbrella Tech provide for IT infrastructure services?
We design, install, test and document network and infrastructure changes, including Firewall Upgrades, Business Wi-Fi, switching, monitoring, server moves and recovery planning. We can deliver the whole project or the onsite stage only.
Who are network and infrastructure projects for?
Organisations replacing ageing equipment, adding a site or wanting better visibility of their network. They also suit IT providers who need reliable onsite engineering for their own clients, which our MSP Partner Services are set up for.
What outcomes should an infrastructure project deliver?
Equipment that works as designed, services tested and confirmed by the people who use them, and a handover record that lets someone else support the site. Open risks and recommendations should be written down, not left in an engineer's head.
