Questions about Network Infrastructure
Clear answers before you commit.
Good IT decisions start with understanding scope, responsibility, timing, and what happens after the project.
What network hardware brands does Nerdi support?
Nerdi has experience with all major business networking platforms including Cisco Meraki, Fortinet, SonicWall, Palo Alto, Ubiquiti, Aruba, and HP/Aruba switching. We recommend and configure the right platform for your size, budget, and security requirements.
Can Nerdi upgrade our existing network without downtime?
Yes. Network upgrades are planned and staged to minimize impact. We typically schedule switching and firewall upgrades outside business hours or on weekends, and run parallel testing before any cutover to reduce the risk of unplanned downtime.
Do you support multi-location businesses in Bozeman?
Absolutely. Nerdi manages multi-site networks for businesses with multiple Bozeman or Gallatin Valley offices, as well as companies with remote branches nationwide. We use SD-WAN and site-to-site VPN to connect and centrally manage distributed environments.
How does Nerdi secure the network perimeter?
Network security starts at the perimeter firewall with strict rule sets, intrusion prevention, and threat intelligence feeds. We layer in network segmentation (VLANs), wireless security policies, guest network isolation, and continuous monitoring to detect lateral movement inside the network.
What is involved in a network assessment?
Our network assessment includes a review of your existing hardware, topology, firewall rules, Wi-Fi coverage, bandwidth utilization, and security posture. We document findings and deliver a prioritized recommendations report with scope and pricing confirmed before work begins.
Can Nerdi help with a new office build-out or relocation?
Yes. Office move and build-out network planning is a core Nerdi service. We coordinate with your landlord, ISP, and cabling contractors to ensure the network is ready on day one — so your team walks in and everything just works.
