Networks - Internet, WIFI, LAN and VPN

Different components such as servers, guest Wi-Fi, phones, and more, must be allocated distinct subnets for both security and efficiency. Here’s why this is paramount:

• Internal Threats Exist: An adversary doesn't always originate externally. Threats can emerge from within, be it a guest using your Wi-Fi or even a disgruntled employee.
• Server Vulnerabilities: Different servers present different potential weak points. By segregating them, we facilitate only specific, necessary communications between servers and clients, minimising risk.
• Access Control: If server and network element consoles are accessible from user networks, there's a risk that someone might attempt unauthorized access. By restricting access at the network level, we pre-emptively thwart such attempts.
• Guest Wi-Fi Protocol: It's imperative that guest Wi-Fi doesn't grant access to the internal network. We cannot vouch for the security protocols on our guests' devices, so in the event of an infected device, our network remains insulated.

Through network separation, we aim to bolster both security and efficient functionality.

Consider our expert services for designing and deploying corporate networks if:

• You're launching a new business venture.
• You're expanding your current company or setting up new branches.
• You require a VPN network to interconnect your branches.
• Your existing Wi-Fi demands improved reliability, speed, and wider coverage.
• You aim to enhance the security provisions for your servers.
• You're considering offering remote work options for your employees.
• A more dependable internet connection is on your wishlist.
• You're looking to seamlessly integrate your current network with cloud environments, such as Microsoft Azure or Amazon AWS.

The importance of wireless networking is frequently overlooked, yet its quality is pivotal for seamless operations throughout your workspace. For our clients, we craft Wi-Fi solutions that ensure top-notch coverage and optimum performance. Whether it involves architecting a brand-new system or resolving issues with an existing setup, we're on it.

We deploy premium Wi-Fi network components equipped with traffic monitoring capabilities. This means if a glitch arises, we can pinpoint the exact cause swiftly and rectify it, ensuring minimal disruption.

In our modern world, an increasing number of daily work tools hinge on consistent internet connectivity. Should the internet prove unstable or suffer from interruptions, the ripple effect on a company's productivity can be significant. In extreme cases, a lack of internet connectivity can halt operations entirely.

To combat this, we've partnered with several esteemed internet providers. This collaboration empowers us to furnish businesses with dual independent internet circuits. The nature of the backup connection is tailored to the specific operational demands of each company. Sometimes, a more cost-effective option suffices. In other instances, the backup internet has to match the quality of the primary connection. By adopting this approach, we ensure swift, uninterrupted, and reliable connectivity.

But why has the internet become so pivotal in our operations? Here's a breakdown:

• Communication: This encompasses emails, instant messaging, video calls, and conferencing.
• Cloud Services: These days, essentials like emails, servers, and various services aren't bound to a physical office or data centre.
• Remote Work: Enables employees to operate from home or virtually any location with internet.
• Customer Support: From website chats and ticketing systems to switchboards, the internet facilitates seamless client relations.
• Collaboration: Real-time collaborative efforts on documents and spreadsheets negate the need for the incessant saving and sending of files.
• Artificial Intelligence: With AI, we can access quality insights, save valuable time, or even substitute expert roles in certain scenarios.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) can be classified into three main categories:

• Remote Access VPN: This enables individual computers to connect to a corporate network from any location. It's an ideal solution for scenarios like remote work or working from home.
• Site-to-Site VPN: Designed to connect entire branch networks to each other. This ensures that all resources across locations are integrated and accessible. For instance, a server from the head office can be accessed effortlessly from other branches.
• Cloud Integration VPN: A specialized form of VPN to link branch networks with cloud services, be it Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, or others. It provides a seamless interface between on-premises networks and cloud environments.
