Network management for business: how?

In today’s digital world, a reliable and efficient network is essential for the success of your business. Managing a complex business network system requires expertise, time and resources. More and more (large) companies are therefore choosing to outsource their network management to specialised service providers. At Cloud360, we are happy to assist your company with this in a personal and professional manner.

Not sure what to expect from professional network management or how to optimise it for performance and security? We will be happy to explain what we can do for you in this area.

What is network management?

By network management, we mean developing, maintaining, monitoring and implementing (computer) networks within an organisation. This can include managing both the hardware and software involved in communication between different devices in your organisation.

Cloud360 can take the following matters off your hands in terms of network management:

Hardware management: Such as routers, switches and servers.
Software management: Such as security, firewalls and protocols.
Design and planning: Setting up a network starts with design and planning. We determine the layout, required device and architecture. Naturally, we are thinking of solutions that are future proof, so that it continues to meet even as your business expands or other future needs arise.
Implementation: We implement the network according to the plans drawn up. We install and configure the hardware and software. Naturally, we also tighten security against any malicious parties.
Maintenance: Of course, we also take care of maintaining the network infrastructure. This includes regularly updating the software, running backups, monitoring performance and exposing and fixing any problems.
Security: We protect the network against attacks, data leaks and unauthorised access, among other things.

What are the benefits of outsourcing network management?

There are a number of reasons why it usually makes more sense to outsource network management, rather than doing it yourself. This is certainly the case with larger companies or in complex situations. We’d like to take you through some of the benefits of network management.

Focus on core business activities: By outsourcing network management, you and your company can focus on the company’s core business. This allows this time and cost to be spent on more important things in the business for you, such as growth. At Cloud360, we completely unburden you.
Cost-effective: Managing a network yourself can be a costly business. For instance, salaries need to be paid, as well as training to stay up-to-date on innovations and businesses, and investment in architecture is needed. Cloud360 offers a cost-effective alternative where you only pay for what is actually used. This makes costs predictable and avoids costs that are not necessarily needed.
Expertise and experience: Network management is a complex task, where expertise and experience are key to a reliable network for your business. Cloud360 has a wealth of knowledge about network management and a lot of experience in different environments and industries, so we know which solution is best suited for your business. Moreover, we are always up-to-date with the latest developments.
Accessible and reliable: For the business processes in a reliable network are crucial, they should obviously not come to a standstill. Cloud360 strives to maximise availability and reliability your business network. We perform proactive maintenance and monitoring, minimising the risk of downtime. This keeps your business accessible and reliable for both employees and customers.
Scalable and flexible: Of course, your company’s needs may change, creating a desire to upgrade or downgrade. We are therefore working on a scalable and flexible network, making it easily adaptable to changing requirements. At Cloud360, we listen to your specific needs to provide the best solution, with flexibility in mind.
Secure: Cybersecurity is of increasing importance, after all, who does not know the horror stories of hacking, ransomware and DDoS attacks. We want to avoid that, of course. At Cloud360, we implement advanced security measures to protect networks from all kinds of threats. We tighten security with firewalls and encryption, among other things, and do our utmost to keep malicious people out.
