CONNECTIVITY FAQS
Answering your FAQs on Network-as-a-Service
The Cloud Gateway platform is deployed with a core bandwidth licence. Every network connection you add to the platform will be capable of handling the maximum bandwidth throughput you choose. You don't need to divide and allocate chunks of your licence to different connections - you have complete flexibility.
As your organisation evolves, you might find your bandwidth demands increase. Don't worry, the platform grows with you. As part of your managed service, we'll work with you to monitor your aggregated traffic throughput, ensuring the bandwidth of your platform is appropriate for your requirements.
If you decide it's time to move up a level, simply speak to your Account Manager. We'll arrange a licence uplift. No new contract required!
If you (or your MPLS provider) is present in a UK data centre, we're often just a cross connect away! We're currently located in:

The Health & Social Care Network (HSCN) is a solution for hospitals, medical centres and GPs to collaborate and access services over a single, secure, high-speed network. Cloud Gateway are an accredited CN-SP, permitted to provide HSCN connections to our customers.
The Public Services Network (PSN) was created so that government departments could have a single, secure system for communication. The government's Future Networks for Government (FN4G) programme prompted the intended closure of the PSN but many services are still only accessed via this network.
We offer Standard or Premier support as part of our managed service packages. Premier support is 24/7/365 and includes our fastest SLA response and resolution targets.
We're determined to change the way that managed services are procured and deployed. We're passionate about providing a superior customer experience, setting a new standard for the way MSPs support their customers.
