Enterprise-grade networking services have become essential for large companies with multiple branches. Modern networking services will support the scale and complexity of an enterprise’s operations, especially when relying on internet-based applications and tools in order to improve efficiency and productivity.
Many organisations in South Africa can benefit from the expertise and experience managed services companies, like Seacom, possess in implementing effective networking solutions. Due to the fact that we implement networking solutions day in and day out, we understand the make-up of efficient and effective networking services bespoke to each organisation. This allows our clients to focus on their core business, while we provide and manage the building blocks to support these efforts.
An expert provider will oversee the complexities and scale of such networks for large businesses at a cost-effective rate. They should have the right expertise, experience and knowledge to deliver the best solutions for large customers. They must also have the right infrastructure and equipment needed.
Enterprise networking services are more secure, reliable and scalable than consumer-grade ones. They're designed to support large companies with many branches in different locations. An efficient network will allow employees, systems and processes to work more effectively, so productivity will increase.
In addition, these networks must be properly secured against a range of cyber threats. Enterprise IT networks are a sought-after target for cyber criminals using ransomware or spyware to obtain sensitive data, financial records or other valuable information.
Choosing a reputable network services provider will ensure that cyber security takes centre stage when it comes to network architecture and software. Seacom provides quality services at a competitive price point, so you can focus on growing your business instead of worrying about technology issues that could potentially put your network at risk.
Seacom Business offers four networking services to large companies and organisations in South Africa. These include the following:
1) SD-WAN - A software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) is an improved WAN that offers a better user experience, reduced costs, network optimisation and simplified operation. It offers a way to improve the security, reliability and efficiency of business networking through a virtual WAN that supports any connection, such as MPLS, fibre and LTE. SD-WAN uses software to intelligently direct traffic across the network, which improves performance, flexibility, control and security.
2) MPLS - Multi-protocol label switching is a private network architecture that routes traffic through the shortest path based on ‘labels’, rather than network addresses. It’s a scalable architecture that improves the speed of traffic and minimises downtime when connected to the network. MPLS is useful for enterprises with multiple remote branches that need access to data centres and applications.
3) LAN Management - Seacom sets up and manages local area networks (LANs) for enterprises in South Africa. We offer readily-available, reliable and consistent network data communications that support business operations. This ensures that all connected devices and servers can communicate with one another inside the company’s private LAN.
4) WiFi-as-a-Service - Internet connectivity is essential for any modern business. Seacom provides secure, reliable and fast provisioning of WiFi connectivity to enterprise customers. WiFi-as-a-Service is a subscription-based offering that combines infrastructure, software and managed services for internet connectivity to office buildings and branches.
