Security
Blaze has security at the heart of everything we do. From large Private Networks to on-premises WiFi.
Retail Private Network - SD-WAN
The biggest shakeup in Private Networks for Retail organisations is happening and missing out could cost you £,000s! The practice of using VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) running over the public internet increases your exposure and costs for physical hardware, licenses and compliancy requirements like PCI-DSS.
We are offering retail organisations the opportunity to get a brand new private network based on SD-WAN and/or MPLS, custom designed for businesses, flexible contract term and the ability to cancel any time by giving 30 days-notice *excludes ethernet products.

“The Retail MPLS Network from Blaze Networks is incredibly fault tolerant providing 100% uptime for our business. In addition to the usual store traffic, we stream real time CCTV video 24/7 and have never been hit for an “Over Use Charge” like other vendors do. Their support team always goes over an above what’s expected. Having just one company to deal with for our entire WAN solution has made my life so much easier.
I have 100% confidence in Blaze Networks and their Retail specific solutions.”
