LAN Solutions

In 2024, Wi-Fi 6 will emerge as the dominant LAN solution, providing enterprise networks with faster speeds, increased capacity, and enhanced reliability to support evolving digital demands.

Your LAN Challenges

Network Congestion

As the number of devices connected to the LAN increases, congestion can occur, leading to slowdowns and degraded performance.

Security Vulnerabilities

Local networks are susceptible to security breaches, including unauthorised access, malware infections, and data breaches, necessitating robust security measures to protect sensitive information.

Scalability Issues

Adapting the LAN infrastructure to accommodate growth and new technology implementations requires careful planning and resource allocation.

Quality of Service (QoS) Management

To maintain optimal performance for crucial applications and services on the LAN, it is imperative to implement robust QoS management to effectively prioritise traffic and allocate bandwidth as needed.

Integration Complexity

Integrating diverse devices, platforms, and technologies within the LAN ecosystem can be complex, requiring considerations of interoperability and compatibility.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Regular maintenance and troubleshooting of LAN components are crucial for preventing downtime and ensuring top performance. This demands the expertise of skilled IT personnel and dedicated resources.

The benefits of LAN for your business

SD-Branch

SD-Branch solutions combine networking and security features on one platform for easier management and increased flexibility. By merging WAN, LAN, and security services, SD-Branch streamlines operations, enhances scalability, and helps businesses more effectively adjust to evolving connectivity needs.

Wi-Fi 6

Wi-Fi 6 resolves local network congestion with enhanced capacity and efficiency. Enterprises can use Wi-Fi 6 access points to support more devices simultaneously, ensuring faster speeds and improved performance, leading to better user experience.

Zero Trust Architecture

Zero Trust architecture takes a proactive security stance, initially treating all users, devices, and network components as untrusted. Through rigorous access controls, constant monitoring, and least privilege rules, Zero Trust reduces security breach risks and unauthorised LAN access, effectively addressing security vulnerabilities.

Quality of Service (QoS) Prioritisation

SD-Branch solutions often include QoS features that enable enterprises to prioritise critical applications and services over the LAN. By allocating bandwidth based on application requirements and traffic patterns, QoS management ensures consistent performance for essential business functions, enhancing productivity and user satisfaction.

Integration and Interoperability

SD-Branch platforms enable smooth integration and compatibility among various LAN components like switches, routers, access points, and security devices. This integrated method streamlines setup, administration, and issue resolution, empowering businesses to enhance LAN infrastructure efficiency.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting Tools

SD-Branch solutions often include centralised tools for managing and monitoring, simplifying maintenance and issue resolution. These tools offer insights into network performance, pre-emptively identify problems and automate fixes to minimise downtime and enhance LAN efficiency.

Zero trust

Centring designs on Zero Trust Network solutions involves questioning traditional security assumptions and reshaping network security for the contemporary age. Zero Trust security, a groundbreaking IT security model, emphasises rigorous identity verification for all individuals and devices that seek access to resources, irrespective of their position inside or outside the network boundary.

At the core of our Zero Trust Network solutions are three fundamental principles:

  • Continuous Monitoring and Validation: Users and devices are never automatically trusted; instead, identity and security verification are ongoing processes. Logins and connections periodically time out, necessitating continuous re-verification to ensure a secure environment.
  • Least Privilege Access: Users are granted only the necessary access required for their roles, minimising exposure to sensitive parts of the network. This principle operates on a “need-to-know” basis, enhancing security by limiting access to critical resources.
  • Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA): ZTNA conceals most infrastructure and services, establishing encrypted one-to-one connections between devices and resources. This approach ensures that no one is inherently trusted, whether inside or outside the network, thereby enhancing security and preventing data breaches.

By adopting our Zero Trust Network solutions, you can enhance security, prevent data breaches, and minimise risks in an increasingly complex network landscape. Join us in embracing Zero Trust principles to safeguard your network and protect your valuable assets against evolving cyber threats.

Unparalleled protection and agility

We bring together the essential concepts of Zero Trust Network security, along with the latest Wi-Fi and SD-Branch technologies, in our services to provide unmatched protection, reliability, and flexibility for your local network setup.

Continuous Monitoring and Validation

We ensure network security with strong authentication and real-time threat detection, aligning with Zero Trust principles. Our LAN solutions continuously monitor and validate user and device identities for verified resource access.

Least Privilege Access

Our LAN solutions implement least privilege access controls, enhancing security by restricting user access to necessary roles and safeguarding data and assets from breaches following the Zero Trust approach.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)

With Zero Trust principles at the core, our LAN solutions establish safe and encrypted connections inside and outside the network perimeter. By utilising network segmentation and access control, we bolster security measures as we avoid placing immediate trust in anyone, effectively lowering risks in the current intricate network environment.

Continuous innovation

We use the latest Wi-Fi and SD-Branch technologies to enhance your WAN solution. Delight in our wireless connections’ speed, reliability, and scalability through Wi-Fi 6. Stay connected effortlessly to all network resources within your organisation.
