IT Infrastructure Projects
From server room refreshes and network upgrades to full IT/OT convergence projects, SkyHelm's engineering team handles the design, procurement, implementation, and handoff. We handle any IT project your organization needs, and we bring the same rigor to a switch deployment that we bring to a datacenter buildout.
How we deliver infrastructure projects
Every project follows a proven methodology, from initial scoping through training and handoff, adapted to the size and complexity of your engagement.
Scoping & Assessment
We evaluate your current environment, hardware inventory, network topology, application dependencies, and pain points. Whether it's a single system refresh or a full infrastructure overhaul, we start with a clear picture of where you are and where you need to be.
Design & Planning
Our engineers design the solution, select the right technologies, and build a project plan with clear milestones, dependencies, and maintenance windows. You get a detailed scope of work before any equipment is ordered or any change is made.
Procurement
We source all hardware and software through our vendor partnerships at competitive pricing. Equipment arrives pre-configured and staged, ready for installation, not still in shrink wrap waiting for someone to figure out the setup.
Implementation
SkyHelm handles the full deployment, racking, cabling, configuration, migration, and cutover. We schedule work around your operations, plan rollback procedures for every change, and coordinate with your team at every step.
Testing & Validation
Every system is tested end-to-end before handoff. We verify performance, confirm failover works, validate backups, and run through user acceptance testing to ensure nothing was missed during implementation.
Training & Handoff
Your team receives hands-on training, complete documentation, and a knowledge transfer session covering day-two operations. We don't leave until your staff is confident managing the new systems, and we remain available for ongoing support.
What we deliver
Server Room Refreshes
Complete server hardware replacement, rack reorganization, and infrastructure modernization, from aging towers to properly deployed rack-mount systems with redundancy and monitoring.
Network Upgrades
Core switch replacements, access layer upgrades, structured cabling overhauls, and network redesigns. We upgrade your network to handle today's traffic and tomorrow's growth.
Cloud Migration Planning
Strategic migration of workloads to Azure, AWS, or Microsoft 365, with hybrid architecture design, identity federation, and bandwidth planning sized for your environment.
Virtualization Deployments
VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and hyperconverged platform deployments. We design, install, and configure virtualization environments that consolidate hardware and simplify management.
Storage Solutions
SAN, NAS, and hyperconverged storage design and deployment, properly sized for your workloads, with replication and backup integration built in from the start.
Email System Migrations
On-premises Exchange to Microsoft 365 migrations, mailbox consolidation, and hybrid configurations. We handle the full migration with zero data loss and minimal disruption to your users.
Wireless Network Deployments
Enterprise wireless design with site surveys, access point placement, controller configuration, and guest network isolation for headquarters, warehouses, and field offices.
VoIP & Unified Communications
Phone system replacements and VoIP deployments, from system selection through configuration, number porting, and training. Modern communications for organizations still running legacy PBX systems.
The right team for your infrastructure project
Any IT Project, Any Scale
SkyHelm handles any IT project your organization needs, from a single switch replacement to a full datacenter buildout. If it plugs in, connects to a network, or runs software, we can design, deploy, and support it.
Utility Application Expertise
We know the applications cooperatives depend on, NISC, Milsoft, SEDC, OSI, and dozens more. Our infrastructure designs are built around the systems your operations actually run, not generic enterprise templates.
Turnkey Project Delivery
We handle everything, scoping, design, procurement, implementation, testing, and training. Your team gets a working system, complete documentation, and the knowledge to maintain it. No loose ends.
IT/OT Convergence Experience
As organizations merge IT and OT networks, the infrastructure has to support both worlds. We design converged environments that maintain proper segmentation, meet compliance requirements, and serve both corporate and operational needs.
