Managed Services & SD-WAN — FAQs

What is a Managed Services Provider (MSP)?

An MSP runs your IT under contract: 24/7 monitoring, security, and SLA-backed response and restore.

We operate endpoints, LAN/Wi-Fi and WAN with KPIs and monthly reports.

How is SD-WAN different from MPLS or site-to-site VPN?

SD-WAN is application-aware and steers traffic across multiple links in real time; MPLS/VPN is circuit-centric and static.

Voice/POS/SaaS get priority; path conditioning heals around loss/jitter.

Do we have to replace MPLS on day one?

No — start hybrid and migrate site-by-site with change control.

Keep MPLS where needed, add SD-WAN over fibre/wireless/LTE, then phase out cleanly.

What response and restore times do you commit to?

P1 response ≤ 30 minutes (15-minute NOC ack) and P1 restore ≤ 4 hours, underlay permitting.

See the SLA for all priorities and service credits.

Can you improve voice quality and Teams/Zoom?

Yes — QoS and app-aware policies lift MOS and cut drops.

We prioritise real-time media and use path conditioning to avoid loss/jitter.

What security controls are included?

Hardening, EDR/XDR, email security, MFA/SSO, Conditional Access and VLAN segmentation.

Optionally converge via SASE for cloud-delivered security.

Do you secure Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace?

Yes — MFA everywhere, CA/2SV, OAuth controls, DLP and immutable backups for Mail/Drive/OneDrive/SharePoint.

How long does rollout take?

Typically days for discovery/design; zero-touch kits turn sites up fast.

Underlay timelines depend on local fibre/wireless access.

Do you provide static IPs and VPN?

Yes — static IPv4 on request, site-to-site and remote VPN, plus Private APN for LTE.

Where do you provide on-site support?

SA-wide, with rapid on-site in major metros and nationwide remote management.

See Service areas for the full list.

What does it cost?

Predictable monthly OPEX based on users, sites and services; hardware can be financed.

Start with a quick scoping call — WhatsApp us or get a quote.

Do you offer fully managed and co-managed options?

Yes — we can run everything or share dashboards/RBAC while your team handles day-to-day.

See Managed Services for models and scope.
