WAN, Cloud & Data centre
Intelligent, Secure and Fast Wide Area Networks
GGR Communications have access to all of the UK’s Tier 1 Network Carriers. We are able to offer our customers the greatest choice of costs, convenience and quality in Wide Area Network Circuits. Enterprise WANs architected by GGR are designed to provide the best reliability, QoS and scalability available. We provide network access from 10Mbps to 10Gbps nationwide, with a guarantee that no matter how remote the customer premises, we are able to leverage our supplier relationships to deliver network access solutions. Services include Ethernet Leased Lines, Point 2 Point/Layer-2 Circuits, FTTP, SOGEA and Cellular connectivity
GGR provide all forms of public and private connectivity, from simple Internet to more complex VPLS and MPLS WANs. GGR deliver secure, fast and resilient connections to our customers’ sites. Through our years of expertise and strong carrier partnerships, we are able to offer highly bespoke, precision engineered Enterprise WAN solutions to fit all of our customers’ requirements. All of which are customisable in hours, not weeks, through the application of Software Defined Networking.
Software Defined Networks
Software Defined Networking (SDN) can mean many things to many people. Here at GGR Communications, our SDN WAN solutions have Software Defined Networking principles built into their core, providing both GGR and our customers with significant cost and time savings. Gone are the days when a simple WAN change could take weeks. Through the power of SDN, we can customise circuit bandwidth, QoS, routing protocols and IP information, allowing businesses to be more agile and pay for what they use rather than planning around peak demand.
Our SDN Enterprise WANs are built on powerful Cisco network devices. As SDN routers carry more of the workload in software and less in expensive chipsets, we can pass hardware savings on to our customers. SDN routers can also be licensed to provide increased bandwidth, offering extended lifespans and improved return on investment compared with older models.
Data Centre
GGR’s core network provides access to a choice of on-net data centres, optimised for connectivity, security and convenience. Our data centre partners provide bandwidth, security, co-location, network-to-network interconnections and rack space, ranging from a single U to a whole suite. Strategically located across the UK, GGR’s data centre partners provide simple and convenient access to customers’ key services and applications, with the connectivity and infrastructure required to support a wide range of business requirements.
Cloud Services
Cloud and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) have become essential elements of corporate IT strategies of late for providing a high quality Enterprise WAN. Through GGR’s Cloud solutions, customers are able to host applications, spin-up virtual devices or run their DevOps platforms, allowing companies to provide accessibility to data, whilst delivering incredible savings on hosting and hardware costs.
Cloud has an attractive pay as you use model with no Capital Outlay. GGR Communications run direct links from our Core to AWS, Azure and Google Cloud platforms, allowing our Enterprise WAN customers to choose services and bandwidths tailored to their needs.
On-Net SIP Services
GGR Communications provides on-net SIP access. Traditional SIP services are typically delivered over the public internet rather than private MPLS networks. GGR has built connections into our core network, creating direct and cost-effective links between our customers and their SIP service. On-net SIP services provide greater control, prioritisation and service quality for customers’ voice traffic. When combined with GGR’s managed WAN, our SIP services deliver high-quality IP voice services and can provide substantial savings compared with legacy PSTN line rentals and call charges.
Solving Connectivity, Security and Integration of your Essential Cloud Services
As the ever-increasing adoption of Cloud services are shaping our IT practices, businesses need to consider how to best adapt their connectivity to meet the new demands of Cloud traffic. At GGR Communications, we specialise in providing a range of cloud services for connecting your business securely to cloud platforms. No matter how far you’ve gone down the Cloud adoption path, we can provide integration and connectivity solutions that are right for you and your business. Whether it be an entry level VPN for testing and integration, through to high bandwidth direct private connections delivered via our fully managed connectivity, a partnership with GGR Communications will make sure you have help at hand every step of the journey.
Microsoft Azure Gateway VPN Connectivity
Azure VPN connectivity is a low cost yet scalable solution for rapid deployment of connectivity to the Azure cloud. This entry level option allows for scaling within Azure to match VPN provisioning to performance and high availability requirements, allowing businesses to implement connectivity from their existing network infrastructure with minimal changes.
Cisco Cloud Services Router
Cloud Services Routers are Virtual, multi-tenanted, devices that exist in the Cloud. Through the application of a CSR VPN, businesses can extend their existing high-performance WAN directly into the Cloud data centre, by connecting to one of these Virtual machines. With this option the cloud data centre can appear as just another site on your existing WAN. High performance Cisco CSR routers run natively in both Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS), utilising industry leading IOS XE software to match your existing network infrastructure capabilities, configurations and deployments. This provides full connectivity, security and routing functions to any cloud services platform.
Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute & Amazon Web Services DirectConnect
ExpressRoute and DirectConnect go further than either VPN connectivity options, in providing dedicated private circuits directly from your network into both Microsoft and Amazon cloud platforms. This mitigates all the unwanted variables that VPN access can bring. Ultimately this provides highly reliable and secure access to your Cloud resources, dedicated bandwidth and quality of service. This is a ‘must have’ for any private cloud connectivity for critical enterprise applications. GGR’s Wide Area Networks (WAN) offer connectivity via Expressroute and DirectConnect as standard, allowing our customers to leverage their existing WAN with dedicated cloud connectivity.
