About Catapulsion
Network Systems Engineering Expertise
Catapulsion was founded by network engineers with decades of combined experience in enterprise, service provider, and research network environments. We’ve spent years solving the operational challenges that come with managing complex, multi-vendor network infrastructures.
What Sets Us Apart
Real-world experience: We’ve managed networks ranging from small enterprise environments to large-scale service provider infrastructures. We understand the operational realities of 24/7 network operations, vendor quirks, and the challenges of integrating equipment from different manufacturers.
Technical depth: Our team has deep expertise in network protocols (BGP, OSPF, MPLS), monitoring technologies (SNMP, NetFlow, sFlow), and the full stack of network management tools. We write code when necessary, but we also know when existing tools can be properly configured and integrated to solve your problems.
Practical solutions: We focus on solutions that work in production environments with real constraints—budget limitations, existing infrastructure, staff capabilities, and operational procedures.
Our Approach
We start by understanding your actual operational challenges, not your theoretical requirements. We’ve seen too many monitoring systems that generate thousands of alerts but provide little actionable information, and too many “solutions” that work in demos but fail in production.
Our solutions are designed to:
- Integrate with your existing infrastructure and processes
- Provide actionable information, not just data
- Scale with your network growth
- Be maintainable by your operations team
Technical Background
Our engineers have worked with:
- Network equipment: Cisco, Juniper, Arista, HP/HPE, Dell, and other enterprise and service provider gear
- Monitoring platforms: Nagios, Zabbix, LibreNMS, PRTG, SolarWinds, and various commercial and open-source solutions
- Network protocols: Deep experience with routing protocols, network discovery, performance monitoring, and troubleshooting
- Custom development: Python, Go, shell scripting, database design, and web application development for network operations tools
Software Development Capabilities
While our primary focus is network systems consulting, our team also develops software solutions across multiple platforms. This broader development experience informs our consulting work and allows us to build custom tools when existing solutions don’t meet operational requirements.
Our current flagship product is Link Lens, a comprehensive network monitoring suite designed specifically for the Apple ecosystem. Link Lens demonstrates our capabilities in building sophisticated applications with real-time networking, data visualization, and intuitive user interfaces.
