Project Summary

Distributed staff and a connected site overseas meant we needed an easier way to access our resources and we needed this access to be extremely secure.  Redundant Internet links would also increase Internet uptime.  Focus Networks proposed a securely designed network.  The Managed Firewall Service was implemented.

The Strategy

Based on current and future processing power, a firewall device was chosen.  Two new Internet links from different providers using different technologies were adopted.  A number of scheduled outages were agreed on.  Three key tasks were completed:  

• Supplied corporate grade hardware firewall
• Implemented business grade fibre primary link
• Installed NBN fibre backup link

Proven Results

Faster, more stable access now improves efficiency for connected businesses.  Due to smarts on the firewall, an Internet outage does not affect staff productivity.  Most importantly, monthly reporting tells us what the business is doing.
