Your network is the glue that holds your people, processes, and platforms together. Your organisation is responsible for delivering a high-availability service to your end users in the middle of ever-changing requirements and increasing internal growth. On top of this you need to meet the demands of your customers which requires additional network capabilities. Network expansions often require more devices, more bandwidth and more connections which creates complexity and is challenging to implement and maintain.
We can provide you with instant access to the support, service, and protection you need to keep disruption and downtime at bay. We can help you securely connect branch locations and synchronise security settings across thousands of sites using our extensive engineering network and collective wealth of experience.
One of the most widely recognised and important advantages of Fortinet is its simplicity of integration into bigger networks and support for advanced routing protocols, including PBR (policy-based routing), RIP (routing information protocol), OSPF (open shortest path first), and BGP (border gateway protocol).
What does this service deliver?
Improved Network Performance
By using software to manage WAN connections, it becomes possible to dynamically allocate bandwidth and prioritise traffic based on the needs of the organisation which leads to a more responsive and reliable network.
Increased Flexibility
With SD-WAN your network is managed through software, making it much easier to make changes and add new locations. This allows your organisation to respond to changing business needs and expand your network as needed.
Enhanced Security
By providing secure VPN connections and centralised management of security policies. This helps to ensure that sensitive data is protected as it travels over the WAN.
Reduce Costs
By using commodity hardware and software-based solutions, organisations can save money because the cost of hardware and maintenance is significantly lower, and there is no need for specialised skills to manage the network.
Optimise performance with our Managed Fortinet SD-WAN
We provide a range of options for a software defined network delivering optimised performance, security, and efficiency of network traffic, utilising our syndicated multi-tenant, centralised control plane. The service is fully managed by us whilst allowing self-service options and can be applied to numerous variants of network underlay, including ADSL, SOGEA, FTTC and others.
