Managed networks

Managed networks, monitored and maintained for you

Firewalls, SD-WAN and multi-site networking, designed, installed and watched around the clock — so your network is one less thing your business has to think about.

What it is

Plain-English, no jargon

A managed network takes the firewall, switches, routing and security that keep your systems talking to each other — and hands the design, installation and day-to-day monitoring to us. For businesses with more than one site, SD-WAN links every location together over a single, centrally managed network, so a new site can be brought online in days rather than weeks. We monitor traffic and security 24/7, apply firmware and security updates before they become a problem, and step in the moment something looks wrong — usually before anyone on your team has noticed.

Do I need a managed network, or just a good firewall?

A firewall alone protects the edge of your network, but someone still has to configure it correctly, keep it patched and watch what it's flagging — most businesses don't have the time or in-house expertise to do that well. A managed network covers the firewall plus the switches, Wi-Fi and site-to-site links behind it, all designed to work together and watched 24/7 by us. If you're running more than one site, or you're handling data that has to be demonstrably secure, a managed network is usually the better long-term option.

Our support promise

No call centres. No scripts. Just people who know your setup.

Every fault gets a real response within minutes, not a ticket number. If something needs an engineer on site, we're usually there the same or next working day — because we're based in Kent, not a national call centre.

“Green Star redesigned our network across three warehouses and now monitor it around the clock. We found out about a hardware fault from them before our own team noticed anything.”

FAQs

About this service

What's the difference between SD-WAN and a normal network?

SD-WAN manages traffic across multiple sites intelligently, routing it over the best available connection in real time — a traditional network treats each site's connection separately.

Do you replace our existing hardware?

Sometimes — we'll assess what you have first. Compatible existing kit is often kept and brought under management rather than replaced unnecessarily.

How is a fault detected and fixed?

Our monitoring flags anomalies automatically, and an engineer investigates immediately. Most issues are resolved remotely; on-site visits are booked when hardware needs attention.

Can you manage a network alongside our existing IT provider?

Yes — we regularly work alongside an internal or external IT team, taking ownership of the network layer specifically.

Is this suitable for a single-site business?

Yes, a managed firewall and monitored network benefits any business, not just multi-site ones — the Essentials package is built for exactly that.

What happens during onboarding?

We survey your current setup, agree a migration plan that avoids downtime, then cut over site by site with monitoring live from day one.
