Wide area networks (WANs) can span large geographical areas to link multiple offices together to help your business become more cohesive and efficient while also saving you money.
If businesses created a communications infrastructure for every individual office, the costs would be huge with hardware, software and human resources duplicated at each site.
A wide area network (WAN) is a communications network that spans a wide geographical area such as between different cities, counties or even countries. WANs are typically used by organisations to facilitate the exchange of voice and data between their dispersed offices helping them to become more cohesive and efficient while also saving money.
The benefits of WAN solutions are unlimited. When you sit in your office, the office 200 miles away feels just like a room next door. You can share information, documents, reports, query databases, search through thousands of records in just seconds. You can share resources such as servers, printers, applications and telephone systems to reduce costs and streamline capabilities. You can share human resources, such as receptionists or IT personnel. The advantages are infinite
Our WAN services experts can design and deploy the most efficient, secure and cost-effective WAN solution for your business using a range of modern technologies. We can span large geographical areas and link many local area networks (LANs) using a reliable, efficient and secure network.
Our network engineers build WANs using traditional leased lines, more flexible technologies, such as point to point microwave, virtual private networks (VPN) and multiprotocol label switching (MPLS), or a mix of these technologies to ensure your network matches your business requirements as well as your budget.
We advise all of our customers to build failover into every WAN to ensure continuity of service. Failover should be automatic and operationally transparent to our customers.
