Managed Services

Managed Services provide a total package to protect your infrastructure and guard your network from intruders.

Managed Services - A suite of security services to keep your network and systems secure. Automatic upgrades of all security technologies and Norlight's continuous, vigilant eyes on your network reduce potential downtime that could harm your business.

Enhanced Monitoring Service - Optimize your network's performance and availability with Enhanced Monitoring Service. It remotely monitors your LAN and WAN, providing real-time network performance reports, historical trend analysis, fault notification and escalation.

Business Continuance

Norlight offers Business Continuance solutions that can keep your organization up and running, no matter what the crisis. You can use Norlight's facilities in a variety of ways:

Hot site – Fully equipped and ready to power up at a moments notice, a hot site provides an "always on" server environment and workstations that are stored and continually updated on-site

Warm site – Less critical operations may consider a warm site, where you store backup IT equipment with Norlight, then retrieve and activate your backup solution when you declare an emergency

Cold site – Provides a basic environment where you must supply and deploy your own communication components and network infrastructure, if and when you need Norlight's Business Continuance facilities
