Independent advice.
Hands-on engineering.
Metis is an independent network consultancy for organizations that run their own network and want senior architecture alongside their in-house team. We assess, design, secure, and troubleshoot the networks your business depends on, and we sell nothing but the work.
Nothing to sell but the work
Metis resells no hardware or software, takes no referral fees or carrier commissions, holds no vendor partner tiers, and will not bid to run the network it assesses. Our recommendations are shaped by your requirements, your constraints, and your budget. And because our consultants are practicing engineers, the strategy we write is one we can build.
About MetisConsulting services
Six engagements that cover the full life of a network, from the first strategic decision to the day the change is in production. Each one is scoped, led, and delivered by a senior network engineer, and each begins with a 30-minute scoping call.
All consulting servicesNetwork Assessment
An independent, evidence-based review of your architecture, security posture, resilience, and operations, with findings ranked by risk and a plan you can act on.
Strategy & Roadmap
A multi-year network strategy tied to your business plans: target architecture, sequencing, and a budget envelope leadership can defend.
Architecture & Design
High-level and detailed designs for campus, data center, WAN, wireless, and cloud connectivity, with every trade-off documented.
Implementation & Migration
Change planning, cutover runbooks, validation, and hands-on engineering to move from design to production without surprises.
Troubleshooting & Incident Review
Structured investigation of persistent or intermittent problems, and independent post-incident reviews with findings you can act on.
Advisory Retainer
Ongoing access to a senior network architect for design authority, vendor conversations, and planning, without a full-time hire.
Deep technical expertise behind every recommendation
Our advice is grounded in four disciplines we practice every day. The engineers who assess and design your network are the same people who can build, secure, and troubleshoot it.
Our expertiseNetwork architecture
Campus, data center, routing, switching, and segmentation designed for resilience, performance, and simple operation.
Security & resilience
Firewall architecture, 802.1X network access control, traffic segmentation, and failover designed into the foundation rather than added later.
Cloud & connectivity
WAN, SD-WAN, and SASE, hybrid cloud connectivity, wireless, and remote access, designed with a clear view of the whole path.
Performance & visibility
Monitoring and alerting strategy, traffic analysis, and advanced troubleshooting that turn blind spots into a plan of action.
Platforms we work with every week
The firewall, routing, switching, wireless, SASE, and cloud platforms we design, configure, and troubleshoot, so a recommendation arrives with the configuration to back it up.

Strategy that survives contact with the network
Every engagement follows the same discipline. We start with your business and your environment, define the target architecture with the trade-offs made explicit, deliver the change with rigorous planning and validation, and leave your team able to own what comes next.
- Assessment. Fixed scope, fixed fee, independent findings, and a prioritized plan.
- Project. Design and delivery at a fixed fee per milestone, with change planning and validation built in.
- Retainer. A senior architect on call for decisions, reviews, and vendor conversations, for a flat monthly fee.

Who we work with
Organizations that depend on their network and run it themselves: typically a few hundred to a few thousand people across several sites, with an in-house IT or network team carrying operations and architecture at the same time. Many run more than one data center or cloud platform and are growing, acquiring, or consolidating.
The team is usually strong on operations and fully committed to it. Senior design capacity on call, an independent voice when vendors and carriers present proposals, and room to absorb a refresh or a migration alongside daily work are what get squeezed. That is where Metis comes in, without bidding to run the network.
- Your own team, or an MSP. We work alongside either, and we will not bid to replace them.
- Enterprise platforms. The switching, firewall, SASE, and cloud platforms shown above are the ones we configure every week.
- Sectors with their own constraints. Healthcare and financial services with HIPAA, PCI DSS, and FFIEC obligations; manufacturing, education, and the public sector with pressures of a different kind.
Start with a 30-minute scoping call.
Tell us where you’re headed and what’s in the way. A senior engineer will call to understand your situation, not to pitch.
- We read your message and reply to arrange the call at a time that suits you.
- A senior engineer joins the call to understand your environment and what you are trying to achieve.
- If there is a fit, you receive a written proposal with scope, deliverables, and price. If there is not, we say so and point you in a better direction.
