A network that works — documented, segmented, monitored
Secure and scalable IT infrastructure
Network planning, firewall configuration, VPN, Wi-Fi infrastructure and SD-WAN for companies of all sizes.
Anonymized reference caseLogistics company with 3 sites · Rhine-Main region, 95 employees+
Starting point
Three sites with different networks, no cross-site communication, daily Wi-Fi outages in the warehouse.
Solution & result
SD-WAN for all three sites, VLAN segmentation, enterprise Wi-Fi in the warehouse and central firewall management.
Network outages reduced by 98%, all sites securely connected, complete documentation created.
Networks that grew over time are security gaps just waiting to be triggered
- Flat network without segmentation: one compromised device puts all the others at risk
- No up-to-date documentation — nobody knows what is connected to what until something fails
- Wi-Fi gaps in production, the warehouse or meeting rooms: employees fall back on mobile data as a workaround
A structured network with VLAN segmentation, complete documentation and proactive monitoring
- VLAN segmentation cleanly separates production, office, servers, IoT and guests
- Complete network documentation: IP plans, topology diagrams, device configurations
- Proactive monitoring detects network problems before employees notice them
Scope of services
What Network & Infrastructure does for you
Network Planning & Design
Development of secure, scalable network architectures for your sites — future-proof and high-performing.
Firewall Management
Configuration and ongoing maintenance of next-generation firewalls (Fortinet, Sophos, Cisco, Palo Alto).
VPN & Remote Access
Secure remote access solutions for mobile and hybrid work — zero-trust architecture on request.
Wi-Fi Infrastructure
Planning and implementation of secure, high-performance Wi-Fi networks with guest segmentation.
SD-WAN
Software-defined wide area networks for multi-site companies with central management.
Network Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of network availability, performance and security events.
Approach
How we work
Network Audit
Analysis of the existing infrastructure, identification of vulnerabilities and optimization potential.
Design
Development of a future-proof network architecture with a security concept and segmentation.
Implementation
Step-by-step rollout with minimal disruption to operations and thorough documentation.
Monitoring & Maintenance
Ongoing monitoring, firmware updates and proactive maintenance of the entire network infrastructure.
For years, our network was a patchwork. Clouderio restructured, documented and monitored everything. Since then, we have had practically no outages.
Network architecture
What a secure corporate network looks like
Clear layers, clear responsibilities. Every segment has exactly the access it needs — no more, no less.
Internet
Connectivity via redundant ISP lines — no single point of failure
Next-Gen Firewall
Fortinet / Cisco / Sophos — IPS, application control, SSL inspection
Core Switch
Managed Layer 3 switch, redundant uplinks, QoS for VoIP and critical applications
VLANs (Segmentation)
Office · Server · IoT · Guests — separated from each other, reachable only as needed
VLAN segmentation
Before / After
From patchwork to structured infrastructure
Networks that have grown over time look the same in every company. So does the result of a professional restructuring.
Before — a typical organically grown network
- ✗No network map — nobody knows what is connected where
- ✗Flat network: production PC on the same network as the managing director's laptop
- ✗Wi-Fi password unchanged for 5 years, every former employee knows it
- ✗Switches never updated, known vulnerabilities open for years
- ✗Outage = troubleshooting in chaos without documentation
After — following Clouderio's restructuring
- ✓Complete network map: every cable, every IP, every port documented
- ✓VLAN segmentation: production, office, server, IoT, and guests cleanly separated
- ✓WPA3-Enterprise Wi-Fi with individual certificates, no shared password
- ✓Automated firmware management, all devices up to date and patched
- ✓Outage = monitoring alert before the outage, resolution in under 1 hour
Multi-site
Multiple locations, one network management
SD-WAN connects your locations through intelligent, software-defined networks. Centralized management, automatic failover, 40–60% cheaper than MPLS.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Network & Infrastructure at a glance.
01Do we have to buy everything new, or can you work with our existing hardware?+
In the network audit, we analyze every component: what can continue to be used and what needs to be replaced. No unnecessary replacements — but also no continued use of hardware that poses a security risk.
02What is SD-WAN, and do we need it?+
SD-WAN connects multiple sites via intelligent, software-controlled networks — cheaper and more flexible than MPLS. For companies with 2+ sites, it is usually more cost-effective and more secure than traditional site networking.
03How can a network be restructured without disrupting operations?+
By building in parallel: the new infrastructure is set up, tested and then switched over in a maintenance window. Typically Friday night — and on Monday everything runs on the new structure. Most employees notice nothing except better performance.
04Do you also handle ongoing network management?+
Yes. After implementation, we offer network monitoring, firmware updates, configuration changes and support as a managed service. You get in touch — we take care of it.
05How much does a network restructuring cost?+
Depending on size and complexity: €8,000–40,000 for SMEs. Stand-alone network audits from €1,500. Binding quote after a free initial consultation.
