Benefits of a Managed Network Service: What Can InReach Offer Your Business? 

One of the many services we offer our clients is a managed network service.

If you are concerned that you don’t have an apparent oversight of your IT network activity, then a Managed Network Service would be an excellent solution for you. It allows you to identify connected devices and check the status of backups easily. If you don’t have a clear handle on your network’s activity and health, problems may arise.

What is a managed network service?

A managed network service refers to the outsourcing of various aspects of your company’s network and IT infrastructure. These services can encompass a wide range of tasks, including network monitoring, maintenance, security, troubleshooting, and performance optimisation.

At InReach, we are a managed network service provider, which means we typically take on responsibilities such as configuring and managing routers, switches, firewalls, and other networking devices. We can also oversee tasks including monitoring network traffic, ensuring data security and compliance, setting up virtual private networks (VPNs), and providing technical support to end-users.

Step-by-Step Process of Implementing a Managed Network Service

When you choose to invest in our managed network service – here is what you can expect.

1. Device Mapping: We start by creating a comprehensive map of all the devices connected to your IT network.

• Infrastructure Audit: We conduct a thorough audit of your IT infrastructure, delving deep into the performance details of your network. This is all done remotely, ensuring no disruption to your operations.

• Remote Monitoring: We continuously monitor firewalls, switches, and access points from a remote location. This allows your business to operate with confidence, knowing that we are actively safeguarding your network.

• Proactive Fault Detection: Our proactive monitoring system quickly identifies any faults, allowing us to provide expert support for swift resolution.

• Server Uptime Monitoring: In addition to security, we also keep an eye on the uptime of critical servers to ensure seamless operation.

• Reporting and Audits: We offer various tools, including inventory reporting and policy violation audits, to help maintain the efficiency and security of your business.

Benefits of a managed network service from InReach 

By investing in managed network services, businesses can benefit from expert knowledge and experience in managing complex network environments. This can lead to improved network performance, increased security, reduced downtime, and potentially lower overall operational costs.

Managed network services are especially valuable for businesses that do not have internal resources to effectively manage their own networks.

Benefits of a managed network service for your business include:

• Invest in Expertise and Specialisation: At InReach, we are experts in networking technologies. We can bring specialised knowledge and experience to effectively manage and optimise your network.

• Cost-Efficiency: Outsourcing network management can be more cost-effective than maintaining an in-house IT team. It often reduces labour costs, eliminates the need for expensive hardware and software investments, and minimises the risk of unexpected expenses.

• Proactive Monitoring and Maintenance: A managed network service ensures your network is continuously monitored for performance issues, security threats, and potential disruptions. This proactive approach helps identify and address problems before they impact operations.

• Enhanced Security: We can implement robust security measures to protect your network from cyber threats. This includes firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and regular security updates. This can not only help with prevention but also minimise downtime should an attack occur.

• Scalability and Flexibility: As your business grows, your network requirements may change. Our managed network services can easily scale to accommodate increased demands, ensuring that your network remains efficient and responsive.

• Peace of Mind: Knowing that your network is in the hands of experts actively monitoring, maintaining, and securing it provides peace of mind, allowing you to focus on growing your business.
