Somerville Connectivity Gateway

What is The Somerville Connectivity Gateway?The Somerville Connectivity service is different to a regular Internet Service Provider (ISP). Our aggregated network combines the power of leading national carriers, meaning you have additional redundancy should there be an outage with one or more carriers*, plus a highly available and resilient network connection with matched upload and download speeds.

Our carrier partners include:• Telstra• Megaport• Superloop• Cirrus• AAPT• IX Australia

The Somerville Connectivity Gateway streamlines and simplifies the delivery of connectivity and cloud services – reducing cost and complexity. It provides high performance connectivity services and enables access to the Somerville Multi Cloud and Managed Services Marketplace.

The Somerville Connectivity Gateway not only provides reliable and fast internet service, it also acts as a single virtual access point to a range of multi-cloud services that help transform your organisation through delivering superior IT services, enabling you to focus on growth and innovation.

Some of these multi-cloud services include:

• Shared responsibility of managing your Public Cloud Services – AWS, Azure, Office365 etc

• Hosted and Secure Private Cloud Services

• Advanced threat protection - SECaaS (Security-as-a-Service)

• Enhanced data protection – BaaS (BackUp-as-a-Service)

• Pro-active network management - NaaS – (Network-as-a-Service) and Iaas (Infrastructure-as-a-Service)

• Plus many more customised ‘as-a-service’ offerings for organisations of all kinds

With the Somerville Connectivity Gateway, you aren’t required to sign up to additional contracts or agreements or go through a complex redesign and deployment process. You simply contact our friendly team and we will customise a solution that is fit for purpose. Some customers choose to start their transformation journey with connectivity or internet services only and then gradually move more services to the Gateway as required.

The Somerville Connectivity Gateway is the ideal solution for organisations looking to digitally transform and improve IT outcomes that enable them to focus on growth and innovation.
