QUINCY,
Mass. – December 1, 2020 – Granite Telecommunications,
LLC, a $1.6 billion
provider of communications services to multilocation businesses and government
agencies, announced the launch of Granite
Guardian, a comprehensive managed network solution that safeguards business
connections from WAN to LAN using “as-a-service” delivery.
With Granite
Guardian, organizations are able to reduce costs or reallocate talent by
offloading network management to Granite’s Network Operations Center (NOC),
which delivers 24/7 monitoring and management of network and devices from
end-to-end across critical segments of enterprise networks.

monitoring and optional on-demand onsite repair
·
Local Area Network (LAN) Services – managed
switches, Wi-Fi or VoIP with optional help desk and on-demand on-site repair
·
Security Services – preemptive
monitoring and management of premises network firewalls with optional on-demand
onsite repair, or migration to a cloud-based network firewall service
·
Wide
Area Network (WAN) Optimization Services – advanced
monitoring or managed SD-WAN with optional
on-demand onsite repair
Each of
these services comes with support from Granite’s Project Management and Account
teams, 24/7 U.S.-based customer service and guaranteed service level agreements
(SLAs).
Granite
Guardian also includes access to the Granite Guardian Portal, the latest
addition to the Granalytics portfolio of customer
network management tools, which also includes Rock Reports, Granite Enterprise
Mobility Marketplace and Granite Enterprise Mobility Management (GEMM) Dashboard.
“Granite
is breaking ground in the managed network services space with Granite Guardian,”
said Rand Currier, COO at Granite. “No other MSP delivers the breadth and depth
that we do with Granite Guardian. We monitor any and all network elements
regardless of type or where it sits within the customer network – LAN, WAN or
in between – enhancing network operations and dramatically increasing uptime
for our customers.”
Granite
Guardian is available to all businesses and government agencies regardless of
what supplier provides network services since it is delivered “over the top” of
the customer’s network.
“Granite
Guardian is ideal for businesses that don’t have an in-house IT team or are
considering outsourcing network management to enable IT teams to focus on
projects that drive their organizations forward, rather than simply keeping the
lights on,” said Currier.
