Where Softcat can help
AI Driven Network Assurance
By integrating advanced AI technologies, modern network management solutions help streamline tasks that were once manual, making network management more efficient and proactive. With AI-driven network assurance, you can expect automated responses to alerts and seamless implementation of necessary changes, ensuring your network runs smoothly and effectively.
Network Maintenance and Support
Ensure your network runs smoothly with comprehensive maintenance and support services. These services provide access to technical assistance, software and firmware upgrades, and hardware replacements for your network solutions. Whether you need help from vendors or third-party providers, you can choose from a variety of service types and levels tailored to meet your organisation's needs.
Network Observability
Gain complete visibility across your entire network with network observability solutions. These tools provide end-to-end insights into the connections between users, devices, and the applications or services they access. By proactively monitoring network performance, you can quickly identify and resolve issues, ensuring a seamless experience whilst maintaining optimal performance and reliability.
Network Automation
This powerful tool enables IT teams to automatically configure, update, manage, test, deploy, and operate both physical and virtual networks, as well as security controls. By automating these tasks, network automation helps ensure your network runs efficiently and securely, freeing up your IT team to focus on more strategic initiatives.
Governance, Risk and Compliance
Navigating the complex landscape of industry regulations can be challenging, as each sector operates on different timelines and standards. In networking and connectivity, GRC focuses on reducing risk by enhancing network resilience and minimising threat impact through robust security controls. This ensures regulatory requirements are met while maintaining a secure network infrastructure.
"As network complexity continues to increase driven by cloud, SaaS, IoT, and hybrid working adoption, how we operate networks is a rising focus for organisations. AI driven network management, network observability, and automation technologies combined with bespoke support contracts help organisations achieve operational efficiency, maintain compliance and optimise costs. Adopting the right mix of technology, services and operating models per organisation is the solution and Softcat can help you design it."
