Recommended solutions for architecture and engineering
Dedicated Internet Access
Dedicated internet access (DIA) is a private, symmetrical fiber connection with guaranteed bandwidth and a service level agreement, so the speed you buy is the speed you get at all hours.
Desktop as a Service (DaaS)
Desktop as a service delivers a complete, secure Windows desktop from the cloud to any device.
SD-WAN
A software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) steers traffic across multiple internet and private links in real time, improving application performance and resilience while reducing dependence on costly private circuits.
Backup as a Service (BaaS)
Backup as a service protects servers, endpoints and software-as-a-service data with automated, monitored, off-site backups.
Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS)
Unified communications as a service combines business calling, video meetings, team messaging and mobile apps in one cloud platform billed per user.
