Site-to-site connectivity
Map office, branch, and private-environment access requirements. Review VPN methods, routing, address space, gateways, and connection ownership.
CONNECTIVITY / HYBRID INFRASTRUCTURE
Connect the environments.
Keep the boundaries.
Business systems rarely live in one place. Plan the connections between a private environment, your offices, existing platforms, and external services without losing track of access or ownership.
Application dependencies
Identify services that stay outside the private environment, including identity, email, third-party APIs, software suppliers, and existing data sources.
Controlled public services
Design the path for services that need to be reachable, including entry points, certificate ownership, application controls, and operational escalation.
Visibility across the boundary
Agree on the monitoring, logs, troubleshooting roles, and recovery assumptions for connections between environments.
A CLEARER TECHNICAL CONVERSATION
What goes into the design.
Key inputs and operating decisions to establish for your environment.
| Design area | What we review together |
|---|---|
| Participants | Offices, users, administrators, suppliers, and connected platforms. |
| Network inputs | Address space, routes, gateways, VPN compatibility, and DNS. |
| Security inputs | Identity, ingress and egress, segmentation, and access approval. |
| Performance inputs | Application paths, latency sensitivity, throughput, and storage behavior. |
| Operating scope | Connection ownership, changes, monitoring, and incident escalation. |
Start with the flow map
Source, destination, purpose, protocol, and ownership make a hybrid design easier to understand.
Plan for connection failure
Recovery and continuity should consider what happens when a dependency or network path is unavailable.
