Network Solutions Overview
A Rise Network Solution is a flexible set of network components that allows secure connection and access control to IT in Rise's datacenter.
Rise builds its Network Solutions using the latest Cisco hardware. As a result, you'll get a flexible enterprise-level network infrastructure at an affordable price.
Rise Network Solutions include the following components and optional services:
VLAN
This is a private hosted network within the Rise data center reserved purely for your customer's servers. Multiple VLANs allow servers to be separated into security zones (up to four VLANs can be added to each Network Solution). A Remote Access VPN and/or Site-to-Site VPN allow secure and encrypted connections to the Inside VLAN for remote management access. Access from the Internet is controlled by the virtual dedicated firewall.
VPN
Site-to-Site VPN
This is a secure and encrypted VPN tunnel over the internet, allowing your customers network(s) access into the VLAN. The site-to-site VPN allows on-premise networks seamless access to IT into the cloud. If multiple on-premise locations; a separate VPN can be set up for each one, to allow efficient and ubiquitous access.
Remote Access VPN
For remote workers, a Remote Access VPN can allow access from individual machines anywhere in the world into the VLAN.
Virtual Dedicated Firewall
The firewall allows access to hosted servers from the internet, and vice versa, whilst keeping them secure and permitting granular controls on who is allowed to connect to what. Multiple public IP addresses can be assigned, with larger dedicated blocks available on application*. If the network solution contains more than one VLAN, the firewall controls access between them.
Managed Firewall service
This is an optional service based on Rise's Virtual Dedicated Firewall. The service includes setup, configuration and management, so you don't have to worry about administering the firewall.
If you don't have the skills or time in-house, or need extra security, you can get our expert network engineers to take care of your firewall with this service.
