A reliable internet connection keeps your business moving. It supports the applications your people use, the payments your customers make and the conversations that keep work on track.
But the connection into your building is only part of the picture. Your wired network, Wi-Fi, security and phone services all play a role in how well your business works each day.
You may already rely on Glide for one of those services. What you might not know is how much more we can help with.
Connectivity shaped around your business
An office using cloud applications, a busy venue taking payments and a business connecting several locations can have very different network requirements.
We start by understanding yours: where your people work, which systems they depend on and what you need from performance, capacity and resilience.
Our connectivity portfolio includes full fibre broadband, leased lines and dark fibre, alongside wide area network options including MPLS and SD-WAN for connecting multiple sites.
The starting point is what your business needs to do. From there, we help you choose a service that supports today’s operations and leaves room for what comes next.
Managed networks and Wi-Fi that reach your people
Getting a connection into a site is one thing. Making it work well throughout the building takes careful planning.
Your team might move between meeting rooms, work across a warehouse or serve customers throughout a venue. Wherever they work, the network needs to support the devices and applications they rely on.
Glide designs, delivers and supports managed local area networks – the wired network within your site – and Wi-Fi for offices, venues, warehouses, business parks and multi-site estates.
We look at coverage, capacity and how the space is used, then shape the network around those needs. With ongoing management and support, your internal team has less network complexity to deal with.
Network security considered from the start
As your business grows, so does the number of people, devices and systems relying on its network. Security needs to be part of the planning.
Glide brings together connectivity expertise and Fortinet-powered next-generation firewall capability to help protect business-critical data, users and systems.
Our managed firewall services sit within the wider network picture. We consider how your sites connect and what your business depends on, helping you strengthen network protection as your requirements change.
Cloud voice that keeps conversations flowing
Customers still need to reach you. Teams still need to speak to one another. From reception and bookings to sales and support, dependable phone services remain part of everyday business.
Glide offers cloud-based voice services, also known as VoIP, ranging from straightforward replacements for existing phone lines to fully featured business phone systems.
Whether you’re replacing traditional analogue services or reviewing what your teams need, we can help you choose an approach that fits the way your business communicates.
Bringing the right services together
A new site may need connectivity, Wi-Fi, firewall protection and phones ready for opening day. An existing location might need better coverage or a network that can support more users. Across several sites, the priority could be a more consistent service and clearer ownership of support.
We start with those practical requirements. Then we recommend the right blend of services and manage delivery, installation and activation, with ongoing technical support, monitoring and account management.
We can also discuss commercial options that fit your budget and plans, including subscription, upfront investment and as-a-Service models.
Let’s look at what comes next
You don’t need to arrive with a technical specification. Tell us what’s changing, what’s getting in the way or what you want to achieve, and we’ll help you explore the options.
Whether you need one service or support across your wider network, there’s more we can do together.
