# Blaze Networks is the safe, secure, and reliable IT Managed Service Provider for SD-WAN & SASE network managed services

With over 20 years’ experience in designing, delivering and supporting compliancy-driven national wide area networks for UK businesses. Blaze Networks is the IT Managed Service Provider and partner of choice for Secure SD-WAN and SASE implementations. As an ISO 27001 certified business with UK network operations centre, we are the preferred partner for providing network managed services for hundreds of multi-site businesses in the UK. There are many managed service providers in the UK, but not all managed service providers are a Fortinet *Expert* level partner with extensive experience delivering network managed services.  
 

## The Best SD-WAN & SASE Technology AND the Best Expertise to Deliver Managed Network Services 

If you are thinking of improving your network by implementing SD-WAN or SASE you are in the right place. There are many things you need to consider, and it can be a daunting task for many IT professionals and businesses with limited resources.

The network is the foundation of modern business technology, and therefore needs to keep pace with evolving business requirements (and security threats). Blaze works with customers whose IT departments seek an expert partner to assist - including those organisations who have limited  IT resource and need to outsource network managed services to a reliable managed service provider. 

Blaze also partners with other IT businesses, software houses and consultants who lack the required skill and resources to deliver and manage national wide area network infrastructures (on a wholesale basis, so that our partners can provide customers with a single point of contact).

At Blaze Networks, our objective is to become an extension of your team and to provide a long-lasting strategic relationship that you can depend on.

- We help customers manage networks by reducing cost and complexity whilst fully understanding your business goals and requirements.
- We align to your objectives and provide implementation services for your new SD-WAN or SASE network technology - building your network around you, for you.
- Connectivity, security, management, analytics and proactive support are all part of our core proposition, and we bring everything together - enabling you to work with a single, expert network partner.

 

We'd love to hear from you!

## SD-WAN Business Benefits Explanation

SD-WAN is sometimes seen as a complex technology, but the opposite is true in terms of how it can simplify network management and deliver business benefits. Blaze, by using Fortinet’s technology, is able to deliver enhanced business agility together with strong security. Combined with Blaze’s network managed service portfolio, Blaze are able to add both network operations (NOC) and security operations (SOC) capability, providing our customers with the best option to improve network efficiency and security.

This video explains some of the business benefits which the underlying Fortinet SD-WAN technology delivers:

## Why SD-WAN and SASE Network Managed Services?

SD-WAN and SASE are the latest wide area network technologies. By up-scaling your wide area network to be Software Defined you make your network much more manageable in several ways, including:

- Operational visibility
- Application-aware
- Network-wide policy deployment
- Central orchestration
- Agile configuration

![SD-WAN-&-SASE-BlazeCloud-icon-black-600x435](https://info.blazenetworks.co.uk/hubfs/SD-WAN-%26-SASE-BlazeCloud-icon-black-600x435.png "SD-WAN-&-SASE-BlazeCloud-icon-black-600x435")

With SD-WAN, previously complex situations become much easier to manage and change, digital evolution projects now have the network foundation and security required, and many constraints which prevented business and technical evolution can be removed.

ZTNA (zero trust network access), SD-Branch (software defined branch), and NAC (networks access control) are all part of an integrated SD-WAN or SASE ecosystem that enhances business efficiency whilst gaining the security to protect against modern-day sophisticated AI-driven attacks.

Because it is important that an SD-WAN or SASE implementation should reflect your business needs (current and anticipated) it is best practice to employ an expert such as Blaze Networks who will take time to understand your specific requirements and design a bespoke solution – not someone who will just install their standard design that incorporates fixed assumptions about commonly- used applications: Your business may or may not employ the vendor’s “standard” applications, and your business’ priorities will not be properly reflected.

SD-WAN networks are application-aware, and can be programmed to make automatic adjustments to the paths and priorities given to application-related network traffic according to what the appropriate action would be in different circumstances.

Blaze Networks will ensure that traffic is delivered to your business’ specific priorities.
