Managed network services that keep your business connected

Managed network services provide organisations with ongoing support, management, monitoring and optimisation of their network infrastructure. This can include connectivity, SD-WAN, internet services, LAN and wireless networks, cloud connectivity and network security, with network monitoring and continuous improvement forming part of day-to-day service delivery.

By outsourcing network management to a specialist provider, organisations can improve performance, strengthen resilience and reduce the burden on internal IT teams.

Managed network services can enable a range of key business outcomes.

Improve business performance: Provide employees and business systems with reliable, high-performance connectivity that supports productivity, collaboration and operational efficiency.

Support cloud transformation: Create a network foundation capable of supporting cloud applications, hybrid infrastructure and emerging technologies without compromising performance.

Strengthen business resilience: Reduce the risk of disruption through resilient network architecture, proactive monitoring and rapid issue resolution.

Enhance network security: Protect users, devices and business-critical data with secure networking solutions designed to support modern cyber security requirements.

Simplify network management: Reduce complexity through improved visibility, centralised management, network automation and expert support across your networking environment.

Enable future growth: Build a scalable network infrastructure that can adapt to changing business requirements, user demands and technology investments.

Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) is a technology that simplifies the management of network connectivity across multiple sites, users and cloud services.

SD-WAN helps organisations simplify legacy networks, improve network performance, increase resilience and gain greater visibility across their connectivity environment while supporting hybrid and cloud-first ways of working.

MPLS provides private, dedicated connectivity between business locations and has traditionally been used for connecting offices and data centres.

SD-WAN offers a more flexible approach by intelligently managing multiple connectivity types, including broadband, DIA and MPLS, helping organisations improve performance, resilience and visibility while reducing complexity.

Cloud connectivity refers to the network services that enable secure and reliable access to cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, AWS and Google Cloud. It helps organisations connect users, locations and cloud services through a secure, high-performance network architecture.

Optimised cloud connectivity improves application performance, enhances the user experience and provides reliable access to business-critical services. It also helps organisations prioritise and route network traffic more efficiently, ensuring consistent performance across cloud applications and distributed environments.

Network resilience helps organisations maintain business operations during connectivity failures, hardware issues or unexpected disruptions.

Resilient network design can include multiple connectivity providers, failover capabilities, intelligent routing and continuous monitoring to help maintain network availability, minimise downtime and support service availability.

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is a cloud-delivered framework that combines networking and security services into a single architecture.

SASE can include Zero Trust Network Access, secure web gateway capabilities and cloud service security functions. SASE helps organisations provide secure access to applications and data regardless of user location while supporting hybrid working, cloud adoption and modern cyber security requirements.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) helps organisations provide secure access to applications and data wherever employees are working. Rather than assuming users can be trusted once they connect to the network, ZTNA continuously verifies identity, device security and access permissions before granting access to specific resources.

As hybrid working, cloud adoption and cyber threats continue to grow, many organisations are replacing traditional VPNs with ZTNA to improve security and user experience. It enables employees, contractors and partners to securely access the applications they need, while reducing cyber risk and limiting unnecessary exposure across the wider network. As part of a broader Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) strategy, ZTNA can help organisations create a more resilient and secure network for the future.

A Local Area Network (LAN) connects users, devices and applications within a business location. Wireless networking extends this connectivity through Wi-Fi, allowing users to access services without physical network connections.

Together, LAN and wireless infrastructure provide the foundation for secure and reliable workplace connectivity. Managed LAN and wireless services often include monitoring and support for network devices such as switches and access points.

Managed network services help organisations provide secure and reliable access to applications, collaboration tools and cloud services, with secure remote access to business applications for hybrid workers and private application access where needed, regardless of where employees are working.

This helps maintain productivity, improve user experience and ensure consistent access to business resources across office, home and mobile environments.

Organisations should review their network infrastructure when experiencing performance issues, expanding operations, migrating to cloud services, supporting hybrid working or implementing new technologies.

Regular network assessments can help identify bottlenecks, improve resilience and ensure the network continues to support business objectives.

The most effective managed network services providers combine strategic consultancy, solution design, implementation, monitoring and ongoing support. More importantly, they understand how network performance influences productivity, security, customer experience and an organisation’s ability to support future growth.

Expertise across connectivity, SD-WAN, cloud networking, wireless infrastructure, network security and managed security services helps ensure solutions align with both technical requirements and business objectives. A consultative, vendor-agnostic approach also provides greater flexibility, allowing organisations to select the technologies that best fit their needs rather than being tied to a specific platform or provider.

When evaluating providers, it is important to consider regulatory requirements alongside technical capability, commercial fit and long-term support. Clear Service Level Agreements (SLAs) can provide confidence around service availability, response times and ongoing service delivery.
