How Vector Six helps your team win

We focus on a narrow set of high-impact services: architecture leadership, data center, cloud & hybrid-cloud, SD-WAN and enterprise network transformation, all security-aligned.

Fractional Architect

Fractional Network Architect

Senior-level network architecture leadership on a flexible retainer — ideal for teams that need expert guidance but not a full-time architect.

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

Data Center Spine-Leaf & EVPN Fabrics

We design and deploy highly scalable, low-latency spine-leaf fabrics using BGP EVPN and VXLAN overlays.

  • Spine-leaf architectures built on BGP EVPN and VXLAN overlays
  • Consistent connectivity for VMs, containers, and bare metal workloads
  • Multi-site data center fabrics designed for resilience and predictable failover
  • Fabric designs ready for hybrid and multi-cloud extension
SD-WAN & WAN Modernization

Enterprise WAN & Edge Transformation

End-to-end design and implementation for SD-WAN and network modernization projects across branches, data centers, and cloud.

  • SD-WAN architecture and underlay/overlay strategy
  • Migration planning, pilot design, and rollout governance
  • Hybrid connectivity for branches, HQ, and cloud
  • Seamless implementation and turnover
  • As-built documentation and handoff your team can own
Multi-Cloud Networking

High-Performance Multi-Cloud Network Architecture

We go beyond basic peering, designing and deploying high-throughput, low-latency connectivity to major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI) through global colocation fabrics and cloud on-ramp services. Our scalable multi-cloud transit architectures ensure consistent, repeatable, and automated network builds across all cloud environments, leveraging Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) for day-0 through day-N operations.

  • High-performance connectivity into AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI
  • Multi-cloud transit architectures using colocation and cloud on-ramps
  • Repeatable, IaC-driven patterns for building and modifying cloud networks
  • Designs that emphasize throughput, latency, and resilience across regions
Automation & IaC

Network Automation & Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC)

We eliminate manual configuration and reduce human error by building robust automation pipelines for network operations. Using tools like Ansible, Terraform, and Python, we establish a single source of truth for your network and implement Git-based workflows for configuration management. We deliver tested, version-controlled automation playbooks for everything from initial provisioning to ongoing state validation, ensuring your network never drifts from its intended design.

  • Source-of-truth models for network intent and configuration
  • Ansible, Terraform, and Python-based automation pipelines
  • Git workflows for review, approval, and change tracking
  • Playbooks for provisioning, compliance checks, and state validation
Who we work with

Teams who own real-world network outcomes

If you’re accountable for how the network behaves in the real world, including uptime, security and performance, and you’re short on truly senior architecture resources, Vector Six is built for you. We plug into your team and your environment so you never face a situation where a “good enough” network design quickly turns into real operational and business risk.

IT & Infrastructure Leaders

You own the result. We help own the architecture. Vector Six is your senior design authority, keeping network and cloud decisions consistent, defensible, and aligned with your roadmap.

  • A named senior architect you can call when it matters
  • Clear, business-aligned recommendations
  • Honest, opinionated guidance grounded in real-world implementations
  • Support in challenging or redirecting vendors and partners when needed

MSPs & Solution Providers

You’re responsible for delivering complex network and cloud projects to your customers, but you don’t always have a dedicated senior architect on staff. Vector Six plugs in as architecture leadership for key accounts so your delivery teams and customers have a clear, trusted technical direction.

  • Pre-sales and design support for complex deals
  • Reference architectures and design standards
  • Independent design review to de-risk delivery and cutovers
  • White-labeled or co-branded engagement models
Delivery model

Design authority + hands-on execution

Vector Six leads with architecture and quality control, but we don’t stop at diagrams. We can also help implement what we design—leading or co-owning build, migration, and cutover work alongside your team or partners. You get a single architectural standard, plus the option for hands-on execution when it matters most.

  • Architecture, design authority, and technical governance by Vector Six
  • Execution led by Vector Six, scaled through internal teams or trusted partners
  • All work aligned to clear reference architectures and reviewed for consistency
  • Vendor-neutral, outcome-focused recommendations
