Network Infrastructure

For two decades, Malaysian and ASEAN enterprises defaulted to Cisco, HPE Aruba and Juniper for switching, routing and data centre networking. Today that default no longer makes commercial sense. Lead times of four to six months on premium SKUs, aggressive licensing models, and geopolitical supply chain risk have pushed CIOs to actively evaluate alternatives.

H3C and Maipu have emerged as the credible enterprise-grade replacements. Both vendors deliver carrier-class switching, routing, wireless and SD-WAN with feature parity to Cisco Catalyst and Aruba CX — but at 30 to 50 percent lower total cost of ownership across a five-year lifecycle when you account for hardware, licensing, support and refresh. Stock is available regionally, lead times are measured in weeks rather than months, and warranty coverage is honoured locally.

Primary Guard owns the full network lifecycle. Our engineers handle high-level design, low-level design, BOM optimisation, staging and configuration, on-site installation, cutover, knowledge transfer and post-go-live hypercare. Every project is delivered by Malaysia-based certified engineers with deep operational experience across banking, telco and government environments.

Beyond deployment, we provide ongoing break-fix support with regional spare-parts depots, proactive firmware management, capacity planning and 24/7 network operations through our managed services team — so you get a single accountable partner from rack-and-stack to renewal.
