Segmentation
Separate segments for business systems, guests, cameras, door controllers and payment systems, with only the traffic each one needs.
Network architecture and design
Network architecture, segmentation and high availability
Networks designed so one problem never becomes every problem.
Short answerYourColo designs, installs and documents segmented business networks built on Juniper, Arista, Ubiquiti and WatchGuard for organizations in Columbus and Central Ohio that cannot afford to go offline.
Network design is where security starts. YourColo plans, builds and documents segmented networks with firewalls, wireless and multi-site connectivity, so cameras, point of sale, guest Wi-Fi and business systems each stay in their own lane.
What you get
What we design and build
Firewalls
WatchGuard next-generation firewalls, configured with least-privilege rules and reviewed as the business changes.
Wireless
Coverage planned for how the space is used, with staff, guest and device networks kept apart.
Multi-site connectivity
Juniper, Arista and Ubiquiti switching and wireless, with secure links between offices, data centers and the cloud, with resilient internet for sites that cannot go dark.
Documentation
Network diagrams, address plans and change records kept current, so the next change is not a guess.
Monitoring
Every switch, firewall and access point watched by our RMM team after go-live.
Who this is for
Built for organizations like yours
- Multi-site businesses that need offices, warehouses and data centers connected securely
- Organizations that cannot afford downtime and need redundant connectivity
- Businesses adding cameras, door controllers or payment systems that must be kept apart from business systems
- Teams whose network grew one switch at a time and is no longer documented
Why YourColo
Why YourColo is qualified
- Network design is the foundation for everything else we deploy, from identity to Verkada
- Experience that reaches back to the first local area networks and the regional ISPs of the 1990s
- Juniper, Arista, Ubiquiti and WatchGuard, chosen for the job rather than one brand for everything
- Documented at handover, then monitored by our RMM team
How it works
Designed, deployed and monitored by the same team.
The people who design it also install it and watch it. There is one number to call and no finger pointing.

RTLRegulated retail
A full IT stack and physical security for a regulated retail business.
- Challenge
- A retail business in a regulated industry needed its complete IT stack and its physical security delivered together, held to the security expectations that come with its industry.
- Requirements
- One provider for the IT stack and physical security, business systems kept separate from cameras, alarms and sensors, and a single identity platform for staff.
- Solution
- YourColo deployed a segmented, secured network and Verkada physical security across the business: video, alarms and environmental sensors. Okta is the identity platform for staff sign-in.
- Outcome
- Business systems, cameras, alarms and sensors run on separate network segments and are managed together, and every staff sign-in goes through Okta.
Questions
Common questions
Can you work with our existing equipment?
Yes. We start from what you have and recommend replacing only what holds the design back.
Why does segmentation matter so much?
Without it, one compromised device can reach everything else on the network. Segmentation contains the damage to the segment where it started.
Who maintains the network after it is built?
We do. Our RMM team monitors it, and the same people who designed it handle changes.
