Infrastructure engineering experience
C7 Infrastructure designs, builds, and integrates enterprise data center environments — from network fabric and compute to storage and the systems that tie them together.
Enterprise infrastructure isn't a single discipline. We bring network, compute, storage, and facilities-level thinking together into environments that are designed as one system — not assembled from parts.
Leaf-spine architectures designed for scale and predictable performance — from greenfield builds to modernizing three-tier legacy networks.
Lossless Ethernet and storage networking engineered for GPU clusters and latency-sensitive workloads, where congestion control isn't optional.
Compute, virtualization, and storage platforms integrated into cohesive environments — including migrations that can't afford downtime.
Connecting on-premises environments to public cloud with the right interconnects, identity, and workload placement — hybrid by design, not by accident.
Physical layer done right: rack elevations, power budgets, and structured cabling plans that installers can execute and operators can maintain.
Infrastructure-as-code and telemetry from day one, so environments stay consistent, auditable, and visible as they grow.
Representative engagements across healthcare, enterprise, and mission-critical environments.
A large regional hospital in Philadelphia needed its entire IT infrastructure replaced — every layer, from end-user devices to the internet edge — without disrupting patient care.
C7 designed, implemented, and cut over the new environment in under three months: fully redundant Cisco core and Fortinet security edge, wireless built on Cisco WLC with 300+ access points, APC redundant UPS power, and a Dell PowerEdge / EMC / VMware vSphere virtualization platform. Clinical systems — BD Pyxis, Epiphany Cardio Server, Philips/CareStream PACS, and Imprivata single sign-on — were integrated into the new environment, and 700 machines were deployed with a customized Windows image.
A cloud provider needed a data center design capable of hosting customers in a securely isolated multi-tenant environment — with room to scale into the thousands of tenants.
C7 designed the platform end to end on Dell PowerEdge compute, Pure Storage, VMware clusters, and Fortinet security enforcing tenant isolation. The design included monitoring built for two jobs at once: operational troubleshooting, and per-tenant resource metering feeding automated billing — so the provider could charge accurately for exactly what each tenant consumed.
Every engagement follows the same engineering rigor — documented decisions, validated designs, and clean handoff to operations.
Current-state discovery, requirements, constraints, and growth targets — captured and agreed before anything is designed.
High- and low-level designs with rationale documented: topology, addressing, protocols, failure domains, capacity model.
Staged builds, validated cutovers, and migration plans that respect production. Tested before it's trusted.
As-built documentation, runbooks, telemetry, and knowledge transfer — or ongoing operational support if you want us to stay.
You work directly with the engineers designing your environment — no layers of account management between you and the people doing the work.
Network, compute, storage, and facilities decisions are made together. The most expensive infrastructure problems come from designing them separately.
We design to requirements, then select platforms — Arista, Cisco, Juniper, HPE, Dell, or whatever the design actually calls for.
Every environment ships with as-builts, diagrams, and runbooks. If it isn't documented, it isn't done.
Designs are judged by how they operate, fail, and grow — not just how they look in a diagram on cutover night.
Whether it's a greenfield data center build, a fabric modernization, or an integration project that's outgrown its original design — start the conversation.
