Depending on your organization's size and requirements, there are FOUR common types of enterprise private networks we can offer you:
A LAN is an interconnected system limited in size and geography. It typically connects computers and devices within a single office or building. It is well suited for small organisations.
If you organisation setup spans buildings, cities, and even countries, you would be looking at a wide area network (WAN). This set up will enable you to have long-distance communication that is secure and dependable. Within this offering is what is called SD-WAN or software-defined, which is a virtual WAN architecture controlled by software technologies. It offers more flexible and dependable connectivity services that can be controlled at the application level without sacrificing security and quality of service.
We work closely with telecommunications companies, data carriers, wireless communications providers and Internet service providers to offer this service to our customers. This allows our customers to lease a network capacity and functionality from these providers.
To save on capital expenditure as an organisation requiring a WAN, this is a brilliant offering. You do not have to purchase the network hardware. To help you understand, conceptually, a cloud network can be seen as a WAN with its infrastructure delivered by a cloud-based service. Some or all of an organization’s network capabilities and resources are hosted in a public or private cloud platform and made available on demand. These network resources can include virtual routers, firewalls, bandwidth, and network management software, with other tools and functions available as required.
Most businesses today use cloud networks to accelerate time-to-market, increase scale, and manage costs effectively. The cloud network model has become the standard approach for building and delivering applications for modern enterprises.
