Connect every site as one business
As organisations grow across offices, branches, cloud platforms and remote users, the network becomes more important - and more difficult to manage. Each location needs reliable connectivity, appropriate security and consistent access to the services employees rely on.
Bluefire designs and manages business networking and SD-WAN solutions that bring sites and connections together, giving organisations greater visibility, flexibility and control across their network.
A network designed for more than one location
Traditional networks can become complicated as new offices and internet services are added over time. Different routers, providers and configurations can leave businesses with an environment that is difficult to support and even harder to change.
Bluefire helps create a more consistent network architecture across sites so connectivity can be managed as one environment rather than a collection of unrelated locations.
Use software-defined networking to intelligently manage supported site connectivity.
Connect branches and offices through a consistent network design.
Maintain appropriate routing between users, sites, internet and cloud services.
Design and manage the wired network connecting business devices.
Provide appropriate wireless coverage and network access for employees and guests.
Improve awareness of connectivity and network health across supported sites.
Use the best path available
Businesses increasingly have multiple ways to reach the internet and cloud. SD-WAN can help make better use of available connectivity by applying policy and path selection across supported connections.
The result is a network designed around application and business requirements rather than every site operating as an isolated internet connection.
Consistency across every location
Opening another office should not mean designing the network from scratch each time.
Bluefire can establish repeatable network standards across supported sites, helping create consistent security, connectivity, Wi-Fi and management as the organisation grows.
Networking and security belong together
Connectivity between sites should not create unnecessary access between every device and system. Network design, segmentation, firewall controls and secure connectivity need to work together.
Bluefire's networking and cybersecurity capabilities allow the network architecture and its security controls to be considered as one solution rather than separate projects.
Internet, SD-WAN and cloud connectivity
SD-WAN does not replace the underlying internet connections - it sits across them as part of the wider network design.
Because Bluefire can provide enterprise internet as well as managed networking, we can consider the connection, edge equipment, routing, security and support together. This also gives businesses a clearer point of accountability when performance issues need investigation.
