Team Technology Coverage

A team capability model across the MSP and MSSP stack.

This page shows the technology families Orbiwest can scope, support or integrate through the appropriate team member or specialist. It is a capability map, not a claim that one person knows every product or holds every certification.

Important: The technology names below describe the types of platforms and domains Orbiwest can scope, support or integrate through the appropriate team member or specialist. This is not a claim that every employee holds every vendor certification, nor that Orbiwest is an authorized partner of every named vendor. Verified certifications and partner statuses should be published separately when applicable.

Enterprise networking depth

We describe the work, not an unverified certification badge.

Routing & SwitchingIPv4/IPv6, BGP, OSPF, campus design, redundancy, QoS, multicast and advanced troubleshooting.
Wireless & NACEnterprise Wi-Fi, controllers/cloud management, RADIUS/TACACS+, 802.1X, guest access and segmentation.
WAN, SD-WAN & Cloud ConnectivityMulti-site WAN, IPsec, SD-WAN, failover, cloud connectivity and secure remote access.
Assurance & AutomationObservability, telemetry, APIs, scripting, configuration standards and repeatable operations.

How we staff broad environments

The person answering a printer ticket does not need to be the same person designing a BGP edge or reviewing a SIEM architecture.

Generalist MSP Operations

Help desk, endpoint, Microsoft 365, routine changes, onboarding, RMM, patching and documentation.

Network & Infrastructure Engineering

Enterprise routing, switching, wireless, firewalls, servers, virtualization, storage and complex migrations.

Security & Cloud Specialists

MSSP workflows, identity, SIEM/SOAR, MDR integrations, cloud architecture, data protection and AI/security governance.

Need help across more than one technology?

That is normal. Most real environments cross identity, endpoints, network, cloud, security, applications and physical infrastructure. Bring us the environment, not a perfectly categorized ticket.
