The fabric your applications run on. Designed to scale and segment.
BTA designs and deploys Cisco ACI, Nexus, and NX-OS data center fabric, and brings the Software-Defined Data Center to environments still run device by device.
Policy-driven, segmented, and handed to a team that can operate the fabric on Day-2.
Where data center fabrics fall behind.
- Risk 01
Run device by device
A fabric managed switch by switch, with no unified policy model, is slow to change and easy to misconfigure.
- Risk 02
Segmentation bolted on late
When isolation is added after the fact, workloads stay flat and a single compromise spreads across the data center.
- Risk 03
Scale limits hit without warning
Topologies never designed for east-west traffic constrain growth before anyone plans for it.
How BTA delivers data center networking.
- 01
Assess the fabric
Map the current data center topology, policy, and traffic patterns.
- 02
Design policy-first
Architect a Cisco ACI or Nexus spine-leaf fabric with segmentation built into the design.
- 03
Stage the migration
Cut over in controlled, reversible steps so the data center keeps running.
- 04
Hand off
Mentor your team so they own the fabric on Day-2.

- ReversibleStaged cutover, no big-bang risk
We're architects who execute.
Three principles every BTA engagement runs on. Visible in the work itself.
We architect, deploy, and stay through Day-2.
Every engagement is end-to-end. We design the target environment, deploy it in stages, and remain on hand through the operational handoff.
We train your team to own the outcome.
Training is part of every engagement. By the close of an engagement, your operators can run, maintain, and defend the system to an auditor.
We measure success when your team runs it alone.
An engagement closes when your team is operating the solution without us in the room. SIMPLE methodology enforces this exit criterion on every project.
We meet you where you are.
Some teams want the full BTA delivery from architecture to handoff. Others bring us in for a single advisory window or a fully managed operations contract. Pick the model that fits and adjust as the business changes.
Consulting & Advisory
Strategy and senior guidance. Architecture reviews, technology assessments, and roadmap design for teams that own their own operations.
Learn moreManaged Services
BTA runs the system day to day under your governance. Monitoring, change management, escalation paths, and SLAs for teams without Day-2 capacity.
Learn moreDeployment
Implementation-only engagement. Faster than the Full Service Lifecycle when the customer team will not own operations afterwards.
Learn moreOptimization
Refresh and refine an existing environment. Performance, automation, and refactor work for platforms already in production.
Learn moreEnablement
SIMPLE-driven Quickstart programs that deliver a specific Cisco capability into production on a known timeline.
Learn moreMentoring
Capability transfer for teams adopting a new platform. Pair-programming, custom training modules, and Cisco MINT-aligned curriculum.

Questions buyers ask about Data Center Networking.
Direct answers from BTA architects who run these engagements.
What is the difference between data center networking and data center modernization?
Data center networking is the fabric — ACI, Nexus, NX-OS, and the software-defined data center. Data center modernization is the broader program that also covers compute, storage, virtualization, and consolidation. The two connect directly.Do we have to go all-in on Cisco ACI?
No. ACI is a strong fit for policy-driven, segmented fabrics, but BTA designs to the environment. Nexus with NX-OS is the right answer for many data centers. The recommendation follows the requirements.Can you work with an existing brownfield data center?
Yes. Most engagements are brownfield. BTA assesses the current fabric, designs the target state, and stages migration so the data center keeps running through the change.Will our team be able to run the fabric afterward?
Yes. Every engagement runs on the SIMPLE methodology with mentoring built in. The Evolve stage enforces a handoff so your team owns Day-2 operations of the fabric.
