Simplify and secure your SD-WAN environment with Phonetek
Managing networks across a diverse collection of offices and locations can be extremely time-consuming.
Often maintenance requires costly site visits and, without an overarching or centralised view, it can be impossible to predict where issues are likely to occur until it’s too late – a situation exacerbated if your networking equipment is dated and in need of an upgrade.
Rather than investing time and effort in managing your multi-site networks, or upgrading your equipment on an ad-hoc basis, consider a Phonetek -managed SD-WAN solution.
Thanks to our partnership with industry leader Cisco, we are able to design, install and support the full-suite of enterprise-grade products on your behalf; providing you with a highly-flexible, results-driven managed service that suits your organisation’s specific needs.

Cloud Managed Security & SD-WAN: SD-WAN and Security Appliance provides device and connection integrity through multiple MPLS and Internet uplinks, warm spare failover, and self-healing VPNs. Internet security ‘at the edge’ is delivered via built-in next-gen firewall and intrusion prevention (IPS) engine, to keep networks secure. Threat definitions and filter lists are seamlessly updated, ensuring every site has the very latest protection from the latest vulnerabilities and troublesome websites.

When it comes to your network, downtime simply isn’t an option. By investing in market-leading, enterprise-grade devices from Meraki, you can enjoy greater levels of security, reliability and control.
With Meraki, there’s no controller hardware or management software to install and maintain, and you benefit from a secure, PCI-compliant cloud infrastructure. Meraki devices can also scale from small sites to million-user deployments.
Plus, with Meraki, your overall network is managed via a centralised, cloud-based dashboard. Regardless of how many devices you have in place, or across any number of locations, you get the visibility and control you need.
The performance of your network is critical. Your people need to connect, and your site needs to be secure. Even with technology as powerful as Meraki, this takes time and valuable resources – and engaging a support partner to manage it on your behalf makes great sense.
