Infrastructure that government agencies can build on — and rely on.
Every modern government capability — cloud services, cybersecurity controls, AI workloads, constituent-facing applications — depends on a solid infrastructure foundation. Aging servers, fragmented network architecture, underperforming connectivity, and unsegmented campus environments do not just slow operations; they create security exposure, compliance risk, and service delivery failures that directly affect the constituents your agency serves.
OutRider Tech helps state and local government agencies assess, design, and modernize their core IT infrastructure — delivering solutions that are engineered for government-grade reliability, security-hardened from the ground up, and built to support the next decade of operational demands. We are vendor-agnostic advisors first, with the implementation expertise to execute across the full infrastructure stack.

Know what you have before you decide what comes next.
Infrastructure decisions made without a clear picture of the current environment produce the wrong outcomes — overbuilt solutions that miss actual pain points, or tactical fixes that leave root causes unaddressed. Our assessment engagements give agency leadership the clarity needed to make confident, well-scoped infrastructure investments.
Infrastructure Assessment & Modernization Roadmap
A comprehensive evaluation of your agency's current infrastructure environment — covering server and storage inventory, virtualization posture, network architecture, connectivity performance, and end-of-life risk. We produce a prioritized modernization roadmap with phased investment recommendations, budget estimates, and a clear rationale for each priority aligned to your agency's operational and compliance requirements.
Network Architecture Review
A focused evaluation of your agency's network design — covering LAN/WAN topology, switching and routing configuration, wireless architecture, segmentation and VLAN structure, redundancy and failover design, and bandwidth utilization. We identify performance bottlenecks, single points of failure, and security gaps in the network layer, and deliver a redesign recommendation with implementation options at multiple investment levels.
Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity Assessment
An assessment of your agency's current disaster recovery posture — evaluating backup coverage, recovery time and recovery point objectives, failover architecture, off-site and cloud replication, and DR documentation and testing maturity. We identify critical gaps between your current state and the recovery capabilities your agency's operations actually require, and develop a remediation roadmap with defined RTO/RPO targets.
Infrastructure engineered for government — deployed to last.
OutRider Tech infrastructure deployments are designed with government operational requirements at the center — reliability, security, compliance, and total cost of ownership over the full lifecycle, not just the purchase price. Every engagement is fully documented and delivered with hands-on knowledge transfer to your team.
Virtualization & Server Consolidation
Design and implementation of a virtualized compute environment — consolidating physical servers onto a right-sized hypervisor platform, reducing hardware footprint, lowering power and cooling costs, and improving workload portability and disaster recovery capability. We scope consolidation targets, design the virtual infrastructure architecture, execute migration with zero-downtime cutover procedures, and deliver full documentation and administrator training.
Switching, Routing & Firewall Deployment
Design and deployment of a modern, security-hardened network core — covering access, distribution, and core switching architecture, router configuration and WAN edge design, next-generation firewall deployment with government-appropriate security policies, VLAN segmentation, and Quality of Service configuration. Engineered for the traffic patterns, security requirements, and uptime expectations of government operations.
Wireless Network Architecture & Deployment
A complete wireless network design and deployment — starting with a professional RF site survey, followed by access point placement design, controller or cloud-managed wireless infrastructure deployment, SSID and security policy configuration, guest network segmentation, and coverage validation testing. Designed for the density, security requirements, and guest access needs of government facilities including office buildings, public-facing locations, and multi-site campuses.
High-Speed Fiber Optic Connectivity
Design and deployment of fiber optic infrastructure — covering structured cabling design, inside plant and outside plant fiber, single-mode and multi-mode selection, patch panel and termination standards, and integration with your switching and routing layer. We manage the full project lifecycle from design through installation, testing, and certification — delivering the high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity backbone that modern government operations require.
Secure SD-WAN Implementation
Design and deployment of a Secure SD-WAN solution connecting your agency's distributed locations — replacing or augmenting legacy MPLS circuits with software-defined WAN architecture that delivers intelligent path selection, application-aware routing, integrated security, and centralized management visibility. Engineered for agencies with multiple facilities, remote offices, or field operations requiring consistent and secure connectivity across all sites.
Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity Implementation
A complete disaster recovery implementation — covering backup architecture design and deployment, off-site and cloud replication configuration, failover infrastructure, DR runbook development, and a facilitated DR test exercise to validate recovery capability against defined RTO/RPO targets. Gives your agency documented, tested, and operationally ready disaster recovery — not a plan that lives in a binder and has never been exercised.
Ongoing advisory to keep your infrastructure current, secure, and performing.
Infrastructure does not maintain itself. Firmware falls behind, capacity grows, hardware ages, and new requirements emerge. Our sustain offerings provide the ongoing oversight and advisory that keeps your infrastructure environment healthy — without requiring a dedicated infrastructure architect on your team.
Infrastructure Lifecycle Advisory
An ongoing infrastructure advisory retainer — covering quarterly infrastructure health reviews, firmware and patch guidance, capacity planning, end-of-life tracking and refresh planning, vendor contract and renewal management, and on-call advisory for configuration changes and emerging issues. Keeps your infrastructure environment current and your team supported without the cost of a full-time infrastructure engineer.
Network Monitoring & Performance Management
Ongoing network performance monitoring and management — deploying and maintaining network monitoring tooling, establishing performance baselines, alerting on anomalies, and providing monthly performance reports with trend analysis and optimization recommendations. Gives your leadership visibility into network health and your operations team early warning on emerging issues before they become service-affecting incidents.
A disciplined path from infrastructure assessment to operational resilience.
Infrastructure modernization projects fail most often when they are scoped without a clear current-state baseline, or when the work stops at deployment without a sustain plan. OutRider Tech uses a structured three-phase model that addresses all three stages — from honest assessment through deployment and long-term advisory.
Assess & Plan
- Inventory and document the current infrastructure environment
- Identify performance gaps, end-of-life risk, and security exposure
- Evaluate network architecture, connectivity, and wireless coverage
- Assess disaster recovery posture against actual RTO/RPO requirements
- Develop a prioritized modernization roadmap with phased budget estimates
Design & Deploy
- Engineer solutions to address prioritized gaps identified in assessment
- Execute deployments with defined milestones and zero-disruption cutover procedures
- Integrate new infrastructure components with existing systems and security controls
- Validate performance against defined baselines and acceptance criteria
- Deliver complete as-built documentation and administrator training
Sustain & Optimize
- Monitor infrastructure health and network performance on an ongoing basis
- Manage firmware, patch, and software update cycles across all infrastructure layers
- Track hardware lifecycle and plan refresh investments before end-of-life exposure
- Conduct annual DR tests and update runbooks as the environment evolves
- Advise on infrastructure implications of new workloads, applications, and cloud services
Vendor-agnostic expertise. Government-grade delivery.
Infrastructure resellers sell what they are incentivized to sell. OutRider Tech is a vendor-agnostic advisor first — we recommend the right solution for your agency's requirements and budget, then deliver the implementation expertise to execute it. Government infrastructure does not need to be the most expensive option. It needs to be the right one.
Built for Government Operations
Government infrastructure has requirements that commercial environments do not — CJIS network segmentation, public records retention, multi-agency connectivity, aging facility constraints, and budget cycles that do not align with vendor refresh timelines. Every design decision we make accounts for these realities.
Assess Before We Recommend
We do not lead with a product. Every infrastructure engagement starts with a clear-eyed assessment of your current environment — because the right solution for your agency depends on what you actually have, not what a vendor brochure assumes.
Documentation-First Delivery
Infrastructure that is not documented is a liability. Every OutRider deployment delivers complete as-built documentation, configuration records, and operational runbooks — so your team can manage, troubleshoot, and expand the environment without dependency on a consultant.
Six technology areas. One infrastructure partner.
OutRider Tech delivers design, deployment, and advisory across the full range of infrastructure capabilities that state and local government agencies depend on — from the server room to the network edge, and every layer in between.
Vendor-Agnostic. Full-Stack. Government-Ready.
OutRider Tech is not locked to a single vendor or technology stack. We recommend the right platform — whether that is VMware, Nutanix, Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet, Juniper, or another best-fit solution — based on your agency's specific requirements, existing investments, and budget constraints. Our value is in the design and implementation expertise, not in steering you toward a preferred vendor relationship. Contact us to discuss the right infrastructure approach for your agency →
