We started working with Crossconnect Engineering over five years ago to help us with on-premise Cisco phone system, network and network security design. Over those five years Crossconnect went from being a trusted advisor to being an extension of our networking infrastructure team. They are experts in network security and work closely with both the infrastructure and security departments in facilitating security solutions that meet our regulatory needs and match our threats.

Most recently, our company has decided to move towards Microsoft Azure and a cloud services focus. Crossconnect has been of the utmost help in this change. Crossconnect has performed the network design and network security design for all of our Azure environments. This design had a particular focus on replicating our on-premise security controls into our new cloud environments, to include VPNs, firewalling, visibility, and control.

The Azure migration also had a particular focus on infrastructure-as-Code, primarily using Terraform. Crossconnect assisted us in deploying our network design and our security controls via Terraform, as well as peer-reviewing our Terraform code.

In parallel, Crossconnect has been deploying our Zero Trust/SASE solution, Palo Alto’s Prisma Access. They are migrating seven sites with disparate firewalls to Palo Alto for us and integrating those into Prisma Access.

One of the best things about Crossconnect is that they’re not just doing the work for us, they’re teaching us too. They’ve been integral in teaching our cloud deployment team Azure networking and Azure firewall configuration as well as helping us improve our knowledge in Terraform.

It has been a great partnership!
