Networking.

Networks are quickly integrating more and more systems to communicate with one another via data connections. The associated explosion of data quickly pushes network capacity to its limits, shining the spotlight on IT availability and security as well as network infrastructure. With this in mind, modern networks must now be designed to adapt quickly and seamlessly to ever-changing requirements, with security and quality-of-service in mind at all times.
 

As you prepare for new hybrid working arrangements, you want to spend your time focusing on the business, not managing your IT estate. And that’s exactly what you can achieve with our new Managed Meraki Service.

June 2021 saw an internet outage caused by a failure in a content delivery network (CDN), taking down thousands of websites in multiple countries. The interruption was relatively brief, but nevertheless it halted millions of pounds in revenue for corporations including the likes of Amazon and Boots.

The last 12 months have seen tremendous changes in how we work. Many companies were on the journey of digital transformation before COVID-19, but the pandemic has accelerated that journey, with some businesses having to move to remote working almost overnight. For many IT teams, it was a scramble to give people access to systems and enable video collaboration, so the business remained productive. It was seen as a short-term fix – to keep things going until life got back to normal.

Meraki has one of the most powerful, scalable and easy-to-use networking systems in the market. Its cloud-based system allows for single-pane-of-glass access to a network of thousands of devices, regardless of geographic location. These simple plug-and-play features are all enabled by the Meraki licenses, meaning without the relevant licensing all the amazing features, which makes Meraki such an easy product to use, are no longer available. Important then that we understand licensing, so that we are making the best use of it for our estate.
