Networking

---

As your business grows, you will need a network to connect your users and or your offices to your IT services.  Your IT services may be on premise, be hosted or provided  'as a Service'.

Where, when and how users work has seen some significant changes. I have witnessed an increase  in demand for home, hybrid and mobile working. Many businesses have seen this flexibility not only work for them, but they have also witnessed increased productivity. As an added bonus, companies also have the option to transition to more cost effective office space and lower their operational expenditure.

A 'mobile first' strategy will support this initiative enabling users to securely access resources regardless of their location.

I can provide an end to end solution that encompasses secure networking for both endpoints (computers) and your offices. Technologies may include wired and wireless local area networks (LAN's) and a software defined wide area network (SD-WAN), all of which can be securely delivered and managed via the cloud.

Solution elements include:

Wireless LAN

A cloud managed wireless network in your home or office allows you to work from any room or area without being tethered to a wire. There are many use cases for wireless LAN's including corporate users, guest users, VoIP, location tracking and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

Wired LAN

The same cloud managed solution can include your wired switches which connect your wireless network, your wired devices and provide resilient, onward connectivity to your Internet services.

Software Defined Networking (SD-WAN)

SD-WAN's are simply a way of utilising your Internet connections to provide secure, flexible and low cost connectivity to other users, offices and cloud services. One of the big benefits of SD-WAN's is the ability for them to quickly adapt as the needs of your business change. It also means that the network is made highly available as multiple connection types like fibre, copper and mobile technologies (such as 4G and 5G) can be aggregated to form a consolidated service. This will also improve the performance of your network as the fasted available connection is always prioritised.
