For most organisations fast, efficient, affordable wide area networking has become essential, whether it be via the internet or via private networks.
Many organisations, including small businesses, operate from multiple locations, with a need to communicate, transfer information, often in large volumes, and share common facilities.
Even single location businesses will communicate with clients, suppliers and other business partners.
Furthermore, an effective, attractive presence on the web has become a must for virtually all organisations.
All of these benefits come with potential risks to which Small and Medium Enterprises are especially vulnerable:
-
Companies often face a choice between expensive dedicated network services, and cheaper, but slower and less reliable ones.
-
Wide area networks, especially the internet, provide multiple points of attack for hackers, viruses, spyware, phishing and various other forms of malware.
-
The constantly evolving nature of the threat makes it particularly problematic for SMEs.
-
Optimising your network performance requires knowledge and facilities which are often unavailable to SMEs.
-
Many processes involve transporting huge volumes of data e.g. for back-up purposes. This can prevent you from using the network effectively, despite the fact that the problems can be resolved by more sophisticated network management.
-
Setting up and then maintaining a web site can be complex and laborious.. As a result too many companies struggle to ‘make do’ with inadequate or out-of-date sites.
Cantono’s suite of Network services enables you to overcome each of these problems, in a way that is attractive and affordable to SMEs.
We achieve this in collaboration with such industry leading partners as Riverbed and SonicWall.
