Additional network switches add scalability to your network and allow for remote monitoring of the network. Smallworld can deploy Quality of Service rules to improve network performance and perform seamless patch management to ensure your network is protected. If you have many devices active on your network, or public or guest Wi-Fi’s you are likely to benefit from implementing VLANs for further improved performance and security. Set schedules for internet usage in your office with NETGEAR switches.
Experience the connectivity benefits of remotely managed network switches
Installing and externally managing a switch can significantly benefit a small or medium-sized business. Through external management, your network’s efficiency is finely tuned, ensuring optimal performance by prioritising critical applications and preventing congestion. Enhanced security measures are established, with experts setting up stringent protocols, monitoring traffic for anomalies, and promptly responding to security breaches to safeguard sensitive data. As your business grows, externally managed switches seamlessly scale by adding devices, expanding VLANs, and adjusting settings to accommodate changing needs. Smallworld’s proactive network monitoring detects potential issues before they disrupt operations, minimising downtime and maintaining continuity. Outsourcing switch management provides access to experienced network professionals who understand industry trends, best practices, and advanced technologies, even when your business lacks dedicated IT resources. Customised configurations tailored to your goals can be established, including VLANs and Quality of Service (QoS) settings.
Remote management capabilities are leveraged, allowing adjustments and configurations without the need for physical presence. Troubleshooting becomes efficient as professionals diagnose and resolve issues remotely, reducing downtime and maintaining productivity. Compliance with industry regulations and standards is ensured, avoiding potential legal and financial consequences. Outsourcing switch management allows your internal team to focus on core business activities, enhancing overall productivity and efficiency. In essence, externally managed switches provide a robust, secure, and optimised network, enabling small and medium-sized businesses to thrive without the burden of managing complex network tasks in-house.
