Consulting Services

From architecture and vendor selection through production deployment, automation, and Tier-4 escalation — we work hands-on, not just advisory.

🤖

AI-Powered Network Automation

LLM-integrated automation for network operations — natural language config management, RAG knowledge stores, GitLab-based change approval pipelines with full audit trails. Built on Claude, MCP, Python, and Ansible.

☁️

Cloud & Telco Private Cloud Architecture

Design and deployment of OpenStack, RHOSO, and OpenShift-based telco private cloud platforms. Hybrid cloud connectivity across AWS and GCP. Design, build, and support of SDN platforms including Juniper Contrail / Tungsten Fabric and OVN.

🔁

Migration Strategy & Execution

End-to-end migration playbooks for complex platform transitions — OSP16 → OSP18, OSP16 → OSP18, hardware → private cloud. Automated config generation tooling, phased cutover plans, rollback procedures.

🌐

Network Design at Scale

IP/MPLS backbone, BGP, L2/L3 VPN, VXLAN, Internet peering. Nokia 7750 SR OS and Juniper MX/QFX architecture. VRRP, BFD, QoS policy design for carrier-grade 5G/4G service platforms.

⚙️

Infrastructure as Code & GitLab CI/CD

Ansible, Terraform, and GitLab CI/CD pipelines for network and cloud provisioning. GitLab Runner-based change execution with mandatory approval gates, dry-run validation, automated snapshot management, and full audit trails.

🖥️

Proxmox Build & Automation

Design, deployment, and automation of Proxmox VE hypervisor clusters for lab, pre-production, and production environments. VM/LXC lifecycle automation, cluster networking, storage integration, and Infrastructure as Code workflows.

🛡️

Reliability Engineering & SRE

High availability design, fault tolerance, capacity planning, production-readiness assessment. Tier-4 escalation support for national-scale platforms. Observability, incident response, SLA management.

Deep Expertise.
Hands-On Delivery.

Borealistech is a boutique infrastructure consulting practice built on carrier-grade engineering experience at national scale.

Our founder has designed, built, and operated platforms that carry Canada's wireline and wireless traffic — from the MPLS backbone through 4G/5G core private cloud, hybrid cloud, and now AI-augmented network operations.

We specialize in the problems that sit between traditional networking and modern cloud: organizations that have outgrown manual operations but haven't yet made the full transition to software-defined, automated infrastructure.

We architect, build, and operate alongside your team — transferring knowledge and leaving behind systems that your engineers can own and extend.

🏔️

Carrier-Grade Background

Nokia, Juniper, Cisco, Red Hat, AWS, GCP — designed and certified at national carrier scale across all major platforms.

🤖

AI-Native Approach

We apply LLMs to real operations problems today — not as a future roadmap, but as production tooling with safety guardrails and audit trails.

🔧

Hands-On, Not Advisory

We write the code, build the pipeline, configure the switch. Architecture advice and implementation in the same engagement.

📋

Knowledge Transfer Included

Every engagement ends with your team owning and understanding what was built — not a black box that requires us to return.

Engagement Model

Every engagement follows the same discipline we apply to production infrastructure — understand first, propose with evidence, build with safety, hand off with confidence.

Discovery

We start by understanding your current platform, operational pain points, and business objectives — not by selling a pre-packaged solution.

Architecture

We produce a concrete, opinionated architecture with clear tradeoffs, vendor recommendations, and a realistic delivery plan.

Build & Automate

We implement hands-on — writing code, building pipelines, configuring devices — with safety guardrails and rollback at every step.

Validate

Production-readiness testing, failure simulation, capacity validation. We don't call something done until it survives realistic failure scenarios.

Knowledge Transfer

Documentation, runbooks, and hands-on sessions so your team owns and operates what was built without ongoing dependency on us.

Platforms & Tools

Hands-on production experience across the full infrastructure stack.
