Vector Six Service Offerings

Vector Six focuses on a narrow set of high-impact domains: enterprise WAN transformation, data center architecture, and cloud connectivity — all designed with security and operational resilience in mind.

Fractional Architect

Fractional Network Architect

Senior network architecture leadership on a flexible retainer — ideal for teams who need experienced guidance without hiring a full-time architect.

  • Architecture advisory and technical decision support
  • Design and configuration review before production changes
  • Vendor and partner technical alignment
  • Escalation point for complex or multi-stakeholder issues
Data Center Modernization

Data Center Spine-Leaf & EVPN Fabrics

Design and Deployment of highly scalable spine-leaf fabrics using BGP-EVPN and VXLAN overlays.

  • Consistent connectivity for virtualized, containerized, and bare metal workloads
  • Multi-site data center fabrics designed for resilience and predictable failover
  • Fabric designs ready for hybrid and multi-cloud connectivity
WAN Transformation

Enterprise WAN & Edge Transformation

End-to-end architecture and implementation for SD-WAN and WAN modernization across branches, data centers, and cloud environments.

  • SD-WAN architecture and underlay/overlay strategy
  • Migration planning, pilot design, and rollout
  • Structured implementation and operational handoff
Multi-Cloud Networking

High-Performance Multi-Cloud Network Architecture

We design high-throughput, low-latency connectivity to major cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI. Using colocation fabrics and cloud on-ramps, we build scalable multi-cloud transit architectures that provide consistent connectivity, predictable performance, and repeatable deployments across cloud environments.

  • High-performance connectivity to AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI
  • Multi-cloud transit architectures using colocation and cloud on-ramps
  • Repeatable Infrastructure-as-Code patterns for cloud networking
  • Architectures optimized for throughput, latency, and resilience
Automation & IaC

Network Automation & Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC)

We reduce manual configuration and operational risk by implementing Infrastructure-as-Code and automation pipelines for network operations. Using tools such as Ansible, Terraform, and Python, we create source-of-truth models and Git-based workflows that ensure consistent deployments and prevent configuration drift.

  • Source-of-truth models for network configuration and intent
  • Automation pipelines using Jenkins, Ansible, Terraform, and Python
  • Git-based workflows for review, approval, and change tracking
Delivery model

Architectural Leadership & Execution

Vector Six leads with architecture and technical governance, ensuring designs are practical, scalable, and aligned with real operational requirements and industry best practices. When needed, we also lead or support implementation — including build, migration, and cutover alongside your internal teams or trusted partners.

  • Architecture leadership and technical governance led by Vector Six
  • Execution guided by Vector Six and scaled through internal teams or trusted partners
  • Work aligned to clear reference architectures and validated for consistency
  • Vendor-neutral recommendations focused on long-term operational success
Representative engagements
