Managing your Network infrastructure across a multi-site organisation

Written by Ali McKeand | Nov 4, 2024 4:52:52 PM

If you’re a business with multiple locations, you don’t need us to tell you that maintaining a seamless, secure, and efficient network across all sites is crucial for your operations.

However, managing such complex networks can be a risky challenge without the right cybersecurity approach in place. With multiple sites connected to the same network infrastructure, a breach at one location can open the door for hackers to your entire network, compromising data and operations across the entire business. Diversity in devices, configurations, and software versions across sites also makes it harder to maintain consistent security standards.

Network observability and proactive management

One of the biggest challenges in multi-site network management is maintaining visibility and control over potentially thousands of network devices. Each location may have different configurations, network device models, and software versions, making it difficult for IT teams to track everything manually.

A centralised Network Intelligence dashboard provides up to date insights into your network’s health, device status, and security vulnerabilities, helping take the stress out of your network management. With accurate data at your fingertips, you can identify issues early, respond to potential problems proactively, and plan for future network needs. This proactive automated approach can save significant time and resources, ensuring that the network remains efficient and reliable across all locations.

Ensuring digital resilience and data protection

Service outages can have severe implications for businesses, from operational disruptions to financial losses. For multi-site organisations, the risk is even higher. A failure in one location can impact operations across others. This makes business continuity planning and data protection essential.

A robust backup and recovery strategy can help ensure that critical data and configurations are preserved, allowing for quick restoration in case of disruptions. Automating backup processes and regularly testing recovery protocols are important steps in minimising downtime and maintaining smooth operations, even if unexpected events occur.
