Enterprise Networking
Enterprise networks lay the foundations to power your business performance; securely and efficiently.
Today the demand on the network is growing exponentially. There are more users, devices and systems relying on the network for critical business services. With increasing demand comes increasing complexity and operational costs. PlanNet21 enterprise networks are powered by automation and intent based systems to help address this. Our Intent based networks help align digital goals to network results and can improve network insights, availability and agility. PlanNet21 Enterprise Networks solutions help you accelerate innovation, reduce cost and complexity, and enhance security and benefits from mobility.
Enterprise Network Solutions
Campus Networking
PlanNet21 partner with the leading technology providers for enterprise campus network solutions. We offer a range of solutions to meet the most challenging requirements including software defined networking solutions, cloud managed solutions, industrial 4.0 infrastructure, network management software and automation and analytics tools.
Wireless and RF Solutions
Wireless has become the primary access network method for most users today with the drive towards multi gigabit speeds with the latest 802.11AX standards. Hence wireless has become a critical component in most campus networks and must be planned and designed accordingly. Unlike wired networks, wireless RF can continuously change due to environmental conditions, that’s why the wireless networks of today must be agile and adapt in near real time. PlanNet21 offer the full lifecycle of wireless services include RF surveys and wireless solution design and commissioning. PlanNet21 have built and continue to support some of the largest and most complex wireless networks across UK and Ireland.
SD-Wan
Software defined wide area networks (WAN) are disrupting the traditional approach to networking. Displacing traditional expensive links between offices. SD WAN provide a virtual WAN overlay that allows enterprises to leverage any combination of transport services. It provides dynamic, policy-driven, application path selection across multiple WAN connections. SD WAN help solves a number of challenges faced by traditional networks with the new way of working today. It helps drive cloud adoption and allow users to consume services securely from any location represented by the Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) model. PlanNet21 partner with some of the leading networking and security providers which are leading the way with intelligent SD WAN solutions such as Cisco, Palo Alto Networks, Juniper and Meraki.
Data Center and Cloud Services
Data Centre networking solutions are still an important building block today. This would include both public cloud and private data center solutions. We have seen a convergence of both physical and virtual networking solutions to accommodate technology shifts. PlanNet21 have adapted to help drive this convergence with customers. We partner with vendors such as VMware, Nutanix, Cisco, Palo Alto Network among others to help build some of the most secure and resilient data center networks today across any environment both public and private. To complement this PlanNet21 certified cloud architects can help guide the way for public or hybrid cloud adoption.

The Network Intuitive
Use Cisco Digital Network Architecture (DNA) to grasp the context of everything that is happening across all applications, users, and devices in your network.
Cisco DNA
- Cisco DNA automation and assurance are built on a software-defined networking (SDN) controller, rich contextual analytics, network virtualization and the limitless availability of the cloud.
- Most Cisco routers, switches and wireless systems shipping today support Cisco DNA.
- DNA understands the performance needs of all your applications and services and continuously adapts end-to-end to achieve the required service quality.
- Legacy perimeter-based security is replaced with network-embedded, context-based security that reaches from the cloud to the enterprise edge.
- Design, provision, enable policy and assure network services through centralized management with Cisco DNA Center.
SD Access
- With Cisco Software-Defined Access (SD-Access) you can provide access to any application–without compromising on security–while gaining awareness of what is hitting your network.
- Reduce the risks caused by fragmented security, by centralising it.
- Easily design, provision, apply policy, and assure network services with full visibility across the entire network.
- SD-Access simplifies delivery of consistent, highly secure, identity-based policy for users and devices across wired and wireless networks.
- Cisco’s switches, access points, and routers are the foundation of the SD-Access fabric. Through this fabric provisioning and policy application is greatly simplified.
- Open APIs allow you to programmatically integrate other elements of your systems with SD-Access.
SD WAN
Software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) allows you to to do more, with less infrastructure. Its many benefits include:
- Dynamic data-traffic optimisation for public cloud and SaaS services.
- Much faster SaaS response times.
- Reduce WAN costs by mixing MPLS with low cost broadband & LTE.
- Centralised WAN and app management.
- Reduce outages with intelligent use of multiple links, and failover.
- Improve security with WAN segmentation and granular policies.
- Implement changes faster, with simplified change-control.
- Troubleshoot & forecast faster, with advanced analytics.
Analytics & Assurance
Cisco DNA Analytics helps you automate managing your network performance, by simplifying it, giving you more visibility into network activity and giving you valuable insights you can act on. The highlights include:
- Single centralised UI allows fast, comprehensive troubleshooting.
- Activity data collection for all corners of your network.
- Intelligent pinpointing of problem sources, and recommended solutions.
- Early warning on performance issues, from activity trend analysis.
- Planning and modelling tools, to accelerate change management.
