Software-defined LANs enable centralised, secure network management with proactive monitoring and fault diagnostics.
Traditionally tiered, organically expanded networks are no longer sufficient to meet business connectivity needs in a competitive and turbulent economy. We believe network intelligence provides the answer: the business-driven evolution of network capabilities and complexity to meet your organisational demand with unprecedented flexibility, scalability and agility.
At Capita we design, deliver, deploy and optimise customers’ access infrastructure from basic break/fix services to fully managed or outsourced LAN and Wi-Fi infrastructure. The LAN access point provides the link to smart building infrastructure and technology such as IoT sensor arrays, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and building management systems. Using Wi-Fi analytics built on Wi-Fi access, you can measure data on employee building usage to facilitate future space planning. Teams can then be located to enhance collaboration, productivity and efficiency.
To achieve the most effective solution for you, we work with key vendors including being Gold Partners to Cisco, Aruba and HP, nurturing partner relationships to ensure top-level partnership accreditations in sales, presales and support.
Software-defined networking has overtaken reactive network design to be key at the heart of LAN design. That way, flexibility, scalability and agility are embedded in your LAN’s DNA.
