The managed firewall service is often part of a larger Claranet hosting or network solution. We will help you to identify which elements and options are required, and how they should be configured to meet your requirements.
Build
Once your order has been placed, Claranet will perform installation and configuration activities to build your solution in the Claranet data centre, or ready for delivery to your desired location.
