Traditionally, networking and connectivity have been easy to take for granted; ticking over in background and largely unnoticed.
Today, however, we must view networking and connectivity differently – thinking of them as delivering outcomes rather than just existing invisibly.
With this shift in focus, networking and connectivity can become the fundamental point of how your organisation collaborates with partners, suppliers and customers.
By focusing on the following five key solution areas, we can transform your networking and connectivity
Simply put, connectivity connects an organisation’s network. WAN specifically, provides connectivity between LANs, public cloud-hosted services (e.g. O365) and on-premises/private cloud DC services (e.g. company-owned applications like CRM), edge and internet, allowing them to communicate with one another.
Today, we can offer reassurance with the right mix of connectivity technologies to ensure efficiency, resilience and optimisation. We can help you assess the suitability of technologies such as SD-WAN and exploit the opportunities it presents – ultimately establishing the perfect foundation to build your business on.

Cloud networking connects all your clouds (public and private) and datacentres to ensure they work efficiently together and are accessible to all relevant individuals. It provides the structure for data to flow quickly between private, public cloud and SaaS services.
With many organisations now assessing how best to architect and connect their numerous cloud presences and datacentres, cloud networking has the power to simplify their complex environments. At Softcat, we can use cloud networking to help you communicate and transfer data accurately and securely – wherever you need it to go.
Solutions
Observability is where the components of networking and connectivity are monitored to ensure optimal performance is achieved throughout. Consisting of infrastructure performance monitoring, user experience monitoring and application performance monitoring, it troubleshoots and protects applications connected to your network.
We know that organisations today need to know that they have access to the right applications and tools – which is why we can help provide the information that enables them to optimise performance in a secure manner.
Solutions
The network is very often the starting point of a cyber attack, so it needs to be secure. In fact, everything in the organisation needs to be secure to ensure maximum protection across all devices, networks, connections and datacentres – especially as many organisations now have a more hybrid way of working.
We can help you leverage your existing defences and modernise them to create a robust networking and connectivity environment that allows data to move to its destination securely without any potential branches. This typically involves several different security solutions working together to achieve the ultimate protection.
