Simplifying MSP Operations: Hosted Network’s Co-Managed Internet Bundles

• Secure Connectivity Made Easy: Hosted Network’s Co-Managed Solutions
• Effortless Internet Management: Hosted Network’s Co-Managed Bundles

Modern businesses depend on seamless and secure internet connectivity to thrive. Hosted Network’s Co-Managed and Co-Managed + Secured Internet Bundles are designed to simplify connectivity management for Managed Service Providers (MSPs). These bundles offer robust tools and scalable solutions, letting MSPs focus on their core services while ensuring clients receive secure and reliable internet connections.

Understanding Hosted Network’s Bundles

Hosted Network provides three connectivity options:

• Unmanaged Connections: Basic internet service where you bring your own router and manage security independently.
• Co-Managed Bundles: Includes business-grade internet, static IPs, and a co-managed, monitored router. MSPs can integrate their security appliances.
• Co-Managed + Secured Bundles: Offers all Co-Managed features plus Sophos Standard Protection for enhanced security.

These solutions empower MSPs to outsource internet management while maintaining control over key aspects of their clients’ networks.

Key Features of the Bundles

Customisable and Pre-Configured

Both Co-Managed Bundles come with a leased Sophos XGS series router, pre-configured to client specifications. This hardware, leased over 36 months, can function as a router or a router-firewall combination.

Enhanced Security Options

The Co-Managed + Secured Bundle includes Sophos Standard Protection, delivering features like:

• Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) for real-time traffic analysis.
• Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) to neutralise risks.
• Secure SD-WAN and VPN connectivity for site-to-site networks.

Proactive Monitoring and Support

Hosted Network monitors devices for performance issues, such as CPU and RAM usage, and provides syslog event logging for tracking changes. Firmware updates are coordinated with MSPs, ensuring minimal disruption.

Redundant Connectivity

Optional 4G/5G failover connections guarantee uptime, enabling businesses to stay connected even if the primary connection fails.
