Intelligent Network Architecture at Scale

From single-site upgrades to 1,000+ location rollouts, we build the networks that run your business.

Enterprise Campus & Wireless (Wi-Fi 6/7)

Modern campus networks with segmentation, automation, and analytics. We build networks that are future-proof and ready for high-density environments.

Capabilities

Campus network design (Cisco Catalyst 9000, DNA Center)
Wi-Fi 6E/7 wireless design and deployment
Meraki cloud-managed networking
FortiSwitch integration with Security Fabric
802.1X/NAC implementation
Network segmentation and VRF design
Predictive RF modeling and site surveys

Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN)

Replace expensive MPLS with intelligent, application-aware SD-WAN. We deploy integrated solutions from Fortinet, Cisco, and Cloudflare to ensure secure, resilient connectivity.

Capabilities

Fortinet SD-WAN (NGFW-integrated)
Cisco SD-WAN (Viptela)
Cloudflare Magic WAN
Application-aware routing and SLA-based path selection
MPLS-to-internet migration
Multi-hub and regional hub architectures

OT & IoT Network Architecture

OT and IoT devices are connecting at an accelerating rate - often without proper segmentation. We design converged IT/OT architectures that safely integrate industrial systems, building management, and IoT sensors.

Capabilities

IT/OT convergence architecture
Industrial Ethernet design
IoT network segmentation
SCADA and BMS integration
Ruggedized network equipment deployment

Network Analytics & AIOps

Move from reactive troubleshooting to proactive, AI-driven network management with unified visibility across wired, wireless, cloud, OT, and edge systems.

Capabilities

Cisco DNA Center Analytics
FortiAnalyzer network intelligence
AIOps platform integration
Proactive fault detection
Performance trending and capacity planning

Before You Ask

Questions we get every time

Which networking vendors does BlackHawk Data deploy?

BlackHawk Data designs and deploys across Cisco, Meraki, Arista, Fortinet and Cloudflare, holding Cisco Premier Partner, Arista Elite Partner, Fortinet Platinum Partner and Cloudflare Elite Partner status. Holding senior tiers with several vendors is what allows the architecture to be chosen on merit rather than on whichever line the partner happens to resell.

Is it worth moving to Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7?

The gain is usually in density and consistency rather than headline speed. Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 handle many simultaneous clients far better than earlier generations, which is what determines whether a lecture hall, warehouse, clinic or open-plan floor actually works at peak occupancy. BlackHawk Data scopes wireless from a predictive and validation survey rather than from access point counts, because coverage problems are almost always design problems.

How does BlackHawk Data approach multi-site network rollouts?

Through a standardized site template validated once and then repeated, rather than designing each location individually. BlackHawk Data has deployed across more than 2,400 sites nationally, and at that scale the determining factor is logistics discipline - staging, configuration templating, and a repeatable cutover runbook - rather than the network design itself, which is settled early and then reused.

What is AIOps in a network monitoring context?

AIOps applies analytics and machine learning to network telemetry to identify anomalies and probable root cause, instead of surfacing every deviation as an individual alert. Its practical value is reducing the volume an operations team must triage and shortening the time from symptom to cause. BlackHawk Data deploys network analytics with AIOps as part of its intelligent networking practice and operates it through the 24x7 NOC.

Should OT and IoT devices sit on the same network as corporate traffic?

No. OT and IoT devices frequently cannot be patched, authenticated or agent-managed like corporate endpoints, so they should be segmented into their own zones with controlled pathways between them. BlackHawk Data designs OT and IoT network architecture to that model, aligned with IEC 62443 zones and conduits, and treats it as a network design problem rather than something to be solved solely at the firewall.

Can BlackHawk Data operate the network after it is built?

Yes. BlackHawk Data runs a 24x7 network operations center, and the engineers who operate an environment are the ones who architected and deployed it. That continuity is the point: most operational escalations are resolved faster by someone who already knows why the network was built the way it was than by a first tier reading a runbook.
