Managed IT

The network, accounted for.

Monitoring and lifecycle management for the network equipment your business runs on, whoever made it. Priced by what you actually run, because a firewall is not a wireless access point.

What we manage.

The switches, routers, firewalls and access points that carry everything else.

Monitoring

  • Performance and availability monitoring across the network
  • Switch, router, firewall and access point health tracking
  • Configuration backup, change tracking and rollback

Configuration and control

  • Bandwidth and traffic analysis
  • Network topology mapping
  • Firewall log analytics and rule review

Planning

  • IP address and switch port management
  • Capacity planning ahead of growth

Access point

Priced by device class rather than a flat per-device rate. A firewall carries rule review and log analytics a switch does not, and an access point is a lighter health check than either, so the rate follows the work rather than pretending every device costs the same to manage.

Managed Network sells standalone. You do not need Managed IT to buy it, we can manage your firewall while another provider handles your laptops.

It also layers onto Managed IT and Managed Cybersecurity for coverage across every device in the building.

Questions

Before you ask.

Do you only manage networks you installed?

No. Managed Network is vendor-agnostic and works with the equipment already in your building. If you would like it installed as well, that is Office Solutions.

How is this different from Office Solutions?

Office Solutions designs and installs physical infrastructure: access points, cameras, door access, phones. Managed Network is the ongoing monitoring and management of network equipment, whoever put it there. Many businesses take one without the other.

How is Managed Network priced?

By device class rather than a flat per-device rate: $199.00 per site, $149.00 per firewall or router, $99.00 per switch and $39.00 per access point. A firewall carries rule review and log analytics that a switch does not, and an access point is a lighter health check than either, so a flat rate would overcharge an access-point-dense building like a warehouse or a school and undercharge the device that actually drives the work.

Do I need Managed IT to buy Managed Network?

No. Managed Network is the one line we sell on its own. The reasoning that keeps Managed Cybersecurity attached to Managed IT — you cannot secure endpoints you do not manage — has never applied to network gear. We can manage your firewall while another provider handles your laptops.
