Cloud Labs Network
Your network, fully managed — wired, wireless and secure.
Proactively managed firewalls, switches and Wi-Fi — with power backup and round-the-clock monitoring — plus an optional Zero Trust secure-access layer for your people wherever they work.
The problem
The network everything runs on is easy to neglect.
Connectivity is foundational — until a firewall goes unpatched, the Wi-Fi drops in half the building, or a power blip takes everything offline and no one notices until staff complain. Most growing organisations don't have the time or people to look after network hardware properly. Cloud Labs Network provides the equipment and manages all of it for you.
What it does
A managed network, end to end.
Managed firewalls
Enterprise-ready firewalls, configured, patched and monitored for you — not left to drift.
Switching & Wi-Fi
Reliable wired and wireless coverage across your sites, proactively managed and kept current.
Power backup & resilience
Battery-backed so the network rides through outages, with failover designed for uptime.
24/7 monitoring
Round-the-clock monitoring catches and resolves issues — often before you would notice them.
- Enterprise-ready hardware, included and maintained
- Configuration and patching handled for you
- Capacity and coverage designed for your sites
- A predictable subscription — no large capital outlay
Optional component
Secure access
An optional layer on top of your managed network: identity-based access so your people reach what they need securely — from home, on the road, or across cloud services — without a clunky VPN. Built on a set of core principles:
- Zero Trust Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)
- Observability
- Incident Response
- Service Resilience
Security
A network that's watched, patched and resilient.
An unmanaged network is a quiet risk: unpatched firewalls, flat networks and no one watching. Cloud Labs Network is built to remove that risk as standard.
- Firewalls kept current — configured, patched and monitored, not left to age.
- Segmentation — the network is structured to contain threats, not let them spread.
- 24/7 monitoring & alerting — issues are caught and acted on around the clock.
- Resilient by design — power backup and failover keep you online through disruptions.
- Optional Zero Trust access — verifies every remote connection by identity and device.
How it compares
Cloud Labs Network and an unmanaged network.
Most network problems come from kit that no one is actively looking after. Here's the difference a managed network makes.
| Consideration | Cloud Labs Network | An unmanaged network |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware | ✓ Enterprise-ready, included and maintained | — Aging gear, replaced only when it fails |
| Firewall upkeep | ✓ Configured, patched and monitored | — Often unpatched and unwatched |
| Uptime | ✓ Power backup and 24/7 monitoring | — Outages noticed by users first |
| Wi-Fi | ✓ Designed coverage, proactively managed | — Patchy, troubleshooted ad-hoc |
| Secure remote access | ✓ Optional Zero Trust, built in | — A bolted-on VPN, if anything |
The bottom line: the network is infrastructure you shouldn't have to think about. Cloud Labs Network provides it, maintains it and watches it — with secure access available when you need it.
