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
SDN means many things to many people. Here at GGR Communications, our SDN WAN solutions have Software Defined Networking principles baked into their core. SDN provides both GGR and our customers amazing cost and time savings. Gone are the days when a simple WAN change would take weeks. Through the power of SDN, we are able to customise circuit Bandwidth, QoS, routing protocols and IP information. If you’re a business who needs to be agile and would like to pay for what you use and not what your business peaks at, on just a single day a year, our SDN technology is for you.
Our SDN Enterprise WANs are built on the back of powerful Cisco Network devices. As SDN routers carry more of the workload in their software and less in expensive chipsets, we are able to pass on the hardware savings to our customers. SDN routers can also be licensed to provide increased bandwidths, offering extended life spans and improved return on investments, compared with older models.
Data Centre
GGR’s Core network has a choice of on-net Data Centres, optimised for connectivity, security and convenience. Each of our chosen Data Centre partners are of a Tier 4 standard, or higher. Providing bandwidth, security, Co-Location, network2network interconnections and rack space from a single ‘U’ to a whole suite. GGR’s Data Centre partners are strategically located across the UK, to provide simple and easy access to our customers’ key services and applications.

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 provide on net SIP access. Traditional SIP services are typically delivered over the public internet, and not private MPLS networks. GGR have built connections into our core, creating direct and low cost links between our customers and their SIP service. On-net SIP services provide superior control, prioritisation and service quality for our customers’ voice traffic. GGR SIP services, when combined with GGR’s managed WAN, offer the highest quality IP voice services, with substantial savings, compared to 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.
