Network Design That Prevents Problems
Most network issues are not caused by hardware. They come from environments that have grown reactively, without a clear architecture behind them. Murdoch Webster designs networks across campus, data centre, wireless, LAN and wide area environments. We assess how your network performs, identify the gaps limiting reliability or security, then design infrastructure that supports how you actually operate.
- Network architecture design and infrastructure refresh
- Secure campus, LAN, wireless and data centre network planning
- Vendor-aligned recommendations across Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Cloudflare and Meraki
Network Deployment & Managed Network Services
Deployment & Management Without Vendor Bias
A strong network design only delivers value when it is deployed properly, managed consistently and reviewed as your environment changes.
We deploy and manage networks as either project engagements or ongoing managed services. Many clients begin with a defined network project, then move into managed operations once the right foundation is in place. Our recommendations are based on what fits your environment, not what moves product.
- SD-WAN and secure wide area connectivity
- Managed LAN, wireless, campus and branch networks
- Ongoing network operations, monitoring and optimisation
TWO WAYS TO ENGAGE
Project Delivery or Ongoing Management. Often Both.
Some organisations need a specific piece of work done – a campus refresh, a WAN upgrade, a wireless redesign. Others need a team to manage their network on an ongoing basis, handling faults, changes and performance before issues affect the business.
We deliver both. And because the same team that designs a network is the team that manages it, there is no translation loss between what was built and how it gets operated.
Network Modernisation
Upgrade ageing network infrastructure into a faster, more secure environment that is easier to manage, support and scale.
SD-WAN & Secure Connectivity
Connect multiple sites securely with stronger visibility, control and flexibility than traditional WAN models.
Managed LAN & Wireless
Keep local and wireless networks performing reliably through proactive monitoring, maintenance and issue resolution.
Network Architecture & Design
Design network environments around real operational needs, traffic flows, security requirements and future growth.
Network & Infrastructure Health Checks
Identify network risks, performance bottlenecks, security gaps and ageing equipment with a clear priority list for improvement.

Common Questions About Our Networking Services
Answers to the questions we hear most often from organisations looking at network projects or managed network services.
We start with a review of your current environment – topology, hardware, configuration, traffic patterns and how the network is actually being used day to day. From that baseline we produce a design that addresses the gaps and sets the environment up for the next several years.
Delivery is staged where possible. We handle implementation directly and where we are managing the environment afterwards, the transition into operations is clean and documented.
A traditional support contract is reactive. You log a ticket when something breaks and wait for a response. Our managed network service is proactive. We monitor your environment continuously, detect faults before they cause outages and manage changes and patching as part of the service.
Scope is defined clearly at the start. You know exactly what is included, what the response times are and who is responsible for what.
Yes. Most clients already have Cisco, Aruba, Juniper, or other vendor relationships and equipment in place. We work with what is there, assess what should stay and replace what is creating risk or limiting performance.
We hold certified partnerships with all leading vendors, which gives us escalation paths and technical support that benefit clients directly. But those partnerships do not drive our recommendations.
Yes. Multi-site networking is a significant part of our work. We design and manage environments that span multiple campuses, data centres and remote sites, with consistent security policy and visibility across every location.
SD-WAN is often the right solution for multi-site connectivity, but we assess each environment on its merits rather than defaulting to a particular approach.
Network security is not a separate layer we bolt on. It is designed into the architecture from the start. Segmentation, access controls, firewall placement and monitoring are all considered as part of the network design, not afterthoughts.
For organisations that need deeper security operations alongside their network management, we can integrate our cybersecurity services or managed detection and response capability into the same engagement.
We review your network topology, hardware, configuration, security posture and performance data. The output is a prioritised findings report that tells you what is working, what is creating risk and what needs to change, with clear recommendations rather than a list of observations.
Most organisations use the health check as the starting point for a modernisation project or to validate that a managed service is scoped correctly.
“Our network had evolved over time and become difficult to manage and even harder to change. Murdoch Webster redesigned and modernised the environment without disrupting operations, giving us a platform that is faster, more resilient and much easier to work with day to day.”

“Handing over day to day management of our network and infrastructure was a big step, but it has been one of the best decisions we have made. Murdoch Webster are proactive, responsive and take real ownership of the environment rather than just closing tickets.”
