NWaaS Case Study

Why use Azured's Network as a Service?

Manningham City Council
"Enterprise standard security and reliability without exceeding our budget"
Azured helped us completely transform our infrastructure within only 9 months – it was one of the best infrastructure executed projects I’ve seen in 20 years. Moving from traditional infrastructure into Azure, we adopted Azured’s Network as a Service, giving us Enterprise standard security and reliability without exceeding our budget. Irrespective of the size of council, there’s benefits to gain.. no longer worrying about ‘keeping the lights on’, our focus is now on developing our security practices and generating greater value.
