Cloud Connectivity

LIMA designs, installs and manages the full connectivity chain: internet circuits, Wi-Fi and switching, firewalls, SD-WAN and SASE. Select the services you need, managed 24/7.

Keeping you fast, secure and connected

Ten years ago, the office held the systems as well as the staff. Your files, line-of-business applications and email all sat in a room down the corridor.

That has changed completely. Microsoft 365, your SaaS applications, your website: none of it is in the building. Every click your team makes travels out through your network. Which means the pressure on connectivity is higher than it has ever been, while the technology itself has become easy to take for granted.

Why have a managed service for connectivity?

Network hardware is often treated as something you plug in and forget. In practice, it behaves like any other asset. Firewalls need patching. Rulesets need reviewing and reconfiguring when you adopt a new system. Access points need firmware and capacity planning. And when something fails, someone has to own it.

LIMA’s connectivity services exist to take that strain off your team. Proactive management, 24×7 monitoring, defined SLAs and a service desk that jumps on any issues. The outcome our customers buy is not uptime for its own sake. The outcome is people who can work without interruption, peace of mind for leadership and an IT team that isn’t spending its working week maintaining the network.

LIMA’s approach to cloud connectivity

Cloud connectivity at LIMA is built on three pillars: a tightly controlled set of hardware, a managed service wrapped around it, and the connectivity underneath.

We recommend Cisco Meraki and Fortinet, and within those ranges only specific models for specific use cases. Our managed service carries Cisco Meraki validation under the Powered by Cisco Meraki programme. And we can provide and manage the leased line or broadband circuits the whole chain depends on.

That gives you a single partner from the socket in the wall to the application in the browser: design, installation, ongoing management, support. You don’t have to buy every layer from us. Plenty of customers take managed firewall and keep their existing Wi-Fi, or take the circuits and manage the rest in house. We’re here to support you, whatever you need us for.
