The Challenge
Legacy SolarWinds build had capacity limits, duplicated nodes and no modern security hardening. Limited internal expertise with Cisco ISE, with policies needed live before full insourcing. High-security environment (PSN/CJSM) demanded zero downtime and SC cleared engineers throughout.
2
Our Solution
Deployed a squad to audit, rationalise and rebuild SolarWinds on a hardened, high-availability architecture. Automated discovery scripts and IaC pipelines (Ansible/Terraform) enabled onboarding approximately 400 devices per day. Created detailed runbooks and executed a phased cutover, syncing with the outgoing MSP to ensure continuity. Designed Cisco ISE architecture and authored role-based policy sets.

The Outcome
Enabled an efficient ecosystem for internal staff to work with the third-party supply chain. Large data pool successfully transferred from an outdated solution to a simplified new platform. Improved public sector funds reporting and a robust solution to expand further commercial opportunities.
