Central Internet

The Central Internet service offers you a comprehensive solution to security and internet access at a central point in the IP network of the Vodafone company. The dedicated firewall for this service provides you with a comprehensive overview of data infrastructure usage by individual users. The service contributes to the smooth running of your key applications and simultaneously protects you from failures of individual parts of the company infrastructure. It assigns priority transfer capacity to key data transfers, while a set of filters for antivirus protection eliminates spam and other email messages which may contain viruses or large and unauthorized attachments. The service therefore helps to eliminate costs for data and internet communication effectively. The most ideal operating conditions for the data centre create a prerequisite for the failure-free operation of a dedicated firewall. In combination with the back-up connectivity, the Central Internet provides the maximum accessibility of services in your network and key applications. We deliver this service with an accessibility guarantee of up to 99.99%.
