Now, organisations can turn to 11:11 as a one-stop-shop for cloud, connectivity and security solutions, resulting in lower costs, reduced redundancy and risk, and improved visibility of their end-to-end infrastructure.
11:11 Connectivity Solutions, which includes managed SD-WAN and Managed Security Next Generation Firewall, solves connectivity and bandwidth challenges facing every global organisation today – maximising uptime and throughput of traffic, ensuring high levels of security and protecting against outside threats. To ensure an organisation and its employees have secure, streamlined access to applications, on-premises or in the cloud, 11:11 also offers Next Generation Firewall to detect ransomware and malware across a network. Custom designed and optimised for an organisation’s exact needs, 11:11 Connectivity Solutions are powered by Fortinet and backed by decades of experience and a rich history of working with companies across all sectors.
“The pain points of scaling a network to meet the demands of an expanding business are vast and commonly include struggles with low latency access to applications and a lack of integrated security. Many IT departments also struggle with not having the specific skills and expertise to ensure the infrastructure stays up and running and the data is protected,” said Justin Giardina, CTO, 11:11 Systems. “With our managed connectivity service, backed by Fortinet’s industry-leading secure SD-WAN solution, organisations do not need deep networking expertise to solve connectivity and bandwidth challenges, and can rest assured that we are optimising the network architecture for efficiency, resiliency and built-in security, so their IT resources can focus on other areas.”
Driven by a converged networking and security approach and powered by a single operating system, Fortinet Secure SD-WAN provides a number of benefits for enterprise customers. According to an independent study conducted by Forrester Consulting, the solution has the ability to support large enterprises by delivering 300% ROI over three years and payback in eight months, along with a reduction of network disruptions and increased productivity for deployment teams.
11:11 Connectivity Solutions include SD-WAN and Managed Security Next Generation Firewall, available as standalone offerings or integrated with cloud and security offerings. The 11:11 network and security operations teams provide management and monitoring of the appliance 24x7x365. This is available as Basic or Advanced managed services, with an SD-WAN managed service option. All services can be delivered to physical or virtual firewalls running on-premises or via cloud infrastructure. The Managed Security Next Generation Firewall service delivers connectivity and security to the perimeter of the network.
