Automated, cloud-first network infrastructure strategy

SASE • Software-Defined Infrastructure • Digital Workspace • BUSINESS CONTINUITY / DIsaster Recovery

The growing complexity of enterprise network and security requirements call for a comprehensive approach to enabling a remote user base with secure access to resources and applications. SASE is a framework that combines SD-WAN connectivity and security functions to give your growing remote user base secure access to applications and resources anytime and anywhere they work.

Burwood Group can help you develop a holistic approach to securing your infrastructure with a fully integrated, cloud-based security solution, enabling centralized management, less physical device implementation, and defense against threats at any entry point.

What a SASE Strategy Can Do For You?

According to a recent Gartner report, by 2024, at least 40% of enterprises will have explicit strategies to adopt SASE, an increase from less than 1% at year-end in 2018. A SASE architecture strategy identifies users and devices, applies policy-based security, and delivers secure access to the appropriate application or data.

This approach allows organizations to employ secure access no matter where their users, applications, or devices are located. It is possible to implement SASE in a practical, cost-effective, phased approach that makes sense for your organization. Work with us to identify your most important use cases and we’ll help you build a roadmap to achieve your goals.

Digital transformation has introduced new ways to deploy network, compute, and storage resources. IT leaders must create solutions that integrate existing traditional investments with software-defined technologies. 

Software-defined infrastructure is the virtualization of your network, compute, and storage resources. It introduces huge benefits in management, automation, and more. Burwood Group helps enterprises define and implement hyperconverged and software-defined infrastructure strategies. 

SD-WAN: The New Standard for Wide-Area Networking

SD-WAN used to be a leading-edge network solution for progressive organizations. Today it is a mature, standardized approach for small to large enterprises. Burwood Group is an expert in SD-WAN deployment. From PoC vendor bake-offs to MPLS contract evaluations, our consultants can create a path to wide-area networking maturity that fits your organization’s needs. 

SD-WAN implementations can be overwhelming in the required skillsets, bandwidth, and capital expense. A managed solution offers numerous advantages over a traditional on-premise, owned implementation. SD-WAN As A Service can be an excellent choice.

Enterprise Wireless Solutions for the Digital World

The Internet of Things (IoT) explosion demands a consumer-centric mindset for wireless infrastructure deployment and management. End users and customers are more mobile than ever, and they expect seamless connectivity everywhere in your enterprise. A seven-year wireless network refresh cycle is no longer sufficient. Antennae technology and access points improve with every release, and keeping up-to-date will improve the performance of even the oldest devices in your network.

Burwood Group has been an expert in wireless networking technology for 20+ years. We have extensive experience in the healthcare industry, enabling wireless to work seamlessly in the most challenging clinical environments. With the advances of 5G and Wi-Fi 6, we work with customers to ensure their infrastructure, device expectations, and management tools leverage these new platforms to create a consumer-grade wireless experience. A network assessment provides the foundation for knowing where you are and where you need to go.

Today’s highly-connected, mobile workforce expects a flexible work environment that supports collaboration from any place, through any device, at any time. If your goal is to boost productivity, attract talent, improve customer service, or all of the above, creating an integrated network of robust application delivery and collaboration tools is essential. 

Empower Great Work With Integrated Desktops, Apps, and Devices

Whether you require a work-from-home employee strategy, higher education distance learning, telehealth, or another workplace initiative, mapping available technologies to your specific use case needs is essential. Burwood’s digital workspace consultants can design and implement a communications and application delivery strategy to fully address the needs of your mobile workforce and consumers. Our complementary expertise in security and cloud infrastructure ensures your environment will be secure, scalable, and future-proof. 

Preparing for recovery or continuation of technology infrastructure is critical after a natural or human-induced disaster. A business continuity plan enables organizations to keep the business running through these unimaginable situations.

Disaster recovery is a subset of business continuity. While business continuity involves planning for keeping all aspects of a business functioning in the midst of disruptive events, disaster recovery focuses on the IT or technology systems that support business functions. Burwood Group helps organizations create tested and trusted disaster recovery programs.

Assess Your Preparedness With Detailed Discovery

Burwood Group analyzes your backup and disaster recovery requirements to determine if a cloud approach would benefit your organization. We’ll help you gauge whether you have adequate bandwidth to make applications and data accessible quickly should disaster strike. Planning also includes assessment of the time required to restore systems from the cloud to virtual or on-premises infrastructure—another critical DR consideration.
