When you are away this summer, who will be watching over your network?

This may not be a comfortable question to ask yourself. You may have asked someone in your organization who is capable and whom you trust to keep an eye on how things are running while you go on holiday, and if you’re comfortable with the arrangement you’ve made, that’s great. But if you’re at all concerned that the person you have left in charge may not have as much experience and not know exactly what to do when something goes awry – or how to spot a potential problem or breach – what can you do? It will be hard to relax completely.

This is when you would find our Nebula secure cloud networking platform really useful and reassuring. With Nebula you can monitor the status and health of your network and receive notifications of any issues wherever you are – on your smartphone, laptop or tablet. You can also make changes to the configuration remotely through the Nebula Control Center.

This is not only reassuring for you, but also for whoever has been left in charge of the network while you are away. Even if you’re not constantly monitoring activity (hopefully you won’t be doing that while you’re on holiday), they will know that they can call on your experience and know-how in an emergency.

As an alternative to leaving someone at your workplace in charge of the network, you could also consider making use of the services of one of our managed service provider partners, who use Nebula to provide expert monitoring of multiple networks. Then you’d never have to worry about it – even while you are at work as normal.

Of course, to make use of Nebula, you do need to be using Zyxel Networks WiFi access points, firewalls and switches. We have a full range of solutions to suit all needs and budgets – and our products are especially well-suited to SMBs. If you’d like to find out more, please get in contact with your nearest Zyxel Networks partner or contact us directly.
