Internet and data solutions
All organisations need to communicate effectively online with clients, colleagues and suppliers, both internally and externally. We offer a range of services which build up into a complete Internet and data connectivity solution that is handmade for your business.

Building block 1 - Connectivity
Your access route to the outside world. Our ISP services offer everything from dial-up, through ADSL to Broadband SDSL. And as already outlined, we are a London Internet Exchange (LINX) member, which means we are one of only 100 ISPs in the UK who have direct connectivity into LINX. This relationship, coupled with the fact that we run our own network and manage our own fibre, enables us to provide a much more reliable ISP service, with far less opportunity for a single point of failure.

Building block 2 - Domain names and email/web hosting
Your online identity. We provide domain name registration services and a variety of website and email hosting packages, meaning that there is always an option that’s right for your business whatever its size.

Building block 3 – Access controls and security
As soon as you open your business up to the outside world, you need to think about security. From simple virus checking software, content filtering and analysis, through to complete firewall and security solutions, Advance Group can help you to identify and implement the controls that you need.

Building block 4 - Wide area networking
For larger organisations, the ability to communicate efficiently and cost-effectively as possible between sites, or between head office and remote workers, is paramount. We offer a range of wide area networking solutions including leased lines and private circuits, plus Quality of Service (QoS) enabled MPLS networks to carry your IP-based voice traffic.

We can also implement Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) which enable you to give remote sites and mobile workers direct, secure and seamless access to all of the documents and information that are stored on your company network, including email. As part of an implementation of this nature we will also work with you to develop a secure disaster recovery strategy.
