Cosmos IQ have been providing network consultancy to clients since 2019, though our CEO, Hugh, has been working as a network engineer for the past 20 years.
In that time Cosmos IQ have delivered a range of projects, from the very small (providing a client with secure remote access to cloud-based data) to the very large (a greenfield datacentre deployment, spanning multiple data halls). We are proud to take the same care and pay the same attention to detail to all our projects, large or small.
Datacentre networks
We have experience in designing and deploying high-speed, scalable and resilient networks using both ‘legacy’ 3-tier designs and more modern leaf/spine architectures. We have recently delivered a Cisco ACI fabric spanning over 150 cabinets in a new DC facility (with more to follow), and are developing solutions based on Arista leaf/spine topologies using MP-BGP EVPN.
Traffic distribution networks
As well as conventional datacentre networks, we have experience in designing and implementing traffic distribution networks. Typically these allow a user to marshal and direct traffic sources to IDS / IPS appliances for monitoring and compliance. We recently worked with one of our clients to deploy a monitoring network based on Gigamon packet brokers, allowing them to control multiple flows of inspection traffic to several IPS systems at an aggregate data rate of over 50 Gbps.
