Networking and switching

Enterprise network infrastructure, from the core to the edge port

ILS Networks designs and builds enterprise network infrastructure: core and backbone, campus, switching and wireless. Official partners of Arista, Cisco, Dell and Alcatel-Lucent, and we deploy Aruba equipment as well.

Overview

The network is the layer everything else depends on

When the network works nobody thinks about it. When it does not, everything looks broken at once: servers, storage, telephony and cloud access. So we treat the network as the first infrastructure layer, not as equipment that gets replaced when it ages out.

Most enterprise networks were not designed — they grew. One more switch here, a temporary link that stayed, and after a few years nobody knows for certain what is connected to what. The work starts by mapping what is actually there, and only then designing what should replace it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which switching vendors do you work with?

ILS Networks is an official partner of Arista Networks, Cisco, Dell and Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, and additionally deploys and supports Aruba equipment. The vendor is chosen from the actual environment — site size, availability requirements, existing equipment and budget — not from a fixed product shelf.

What is the difference between the core (backbone) and the campus network?

The core is the layer all site traffic passes through — it has to be fast, redundant, and simple enough to maintain. The campus network is what connects users and equipment to that core. They are designed together: an excellent core sitting above an access layer that grew piece by piece over years will not deliver what it promised.

Do you also upgrade existing networks?

Yes. A large share of the work is staged upgrades of live networks rather than greenfield builds. Work is planned around maintenance windows with a defined way back at each stage, so the site keeps running throughout.

What is MLAG and why does it matter?

MLAG lets equipment connect to two core switches at once, so losing one switch does not disconnect what is attached to it. At Galmarine we built an Arista backbone in MLAG configuration for exactly that reason — redundancy in the layer that has no room for a single point of failure.

Do you build enterprise wireless as well?

Yes. At CooperVision we designed and built a complete network covering backbone, campus and wireless — as layers of one system rather than as separate projects.

Do you serve organizations in Israel?

Yes. ILS Networks is an Israeli IT infrastructure company operating since 2009, with 24/7 support. Network projects delivered include CooperVision, Prigat, Galmarine, Ariston Group and Combe.
