Own foundational network services — including plant-floor wireless, core services (DNS/DHCP/IPAM), load balancing, and site-to-site VPN across the platform. Establish visibility — stand up network monitoring/NMS and maintain current network documentation and diagrams (also serving as CMMC audit evidence). Sustain reliability — supporting a 24/7 manufacturing operation, including participation in an escalation/on-call rotation to protect production uptime.
