Implementation is hard.

Entrust your internet infrastructure projects to our team.

We get it right the first time, every time.

At Island Bridge Networks, our engineers are passionate about building robust, functional, secure and fault tolerant networks. We design, build and operate these networks with 24/7 monitoring and support for our customers.

As a company, we take particular pride in being vendor and supplier neutral. This allows us to advise our customers in their own best interests and choose the most appropriate equipment and suppliers for a given project.

ISP Core & Edge Network Management Service

Our flagship service offering is our complete managed core and edge ISP network engineering service. In summary, we design, build and operate an ISPs core and edge network using our in-house level-3 network engineers and system administrators.

This includes vendor management for hardware, upstream IP and IXP links, and data centre / co-location providers; design, build and management of the core and edge networks; all related critical infrastructure including authoritative DNS, recursive DNS, NTP, route reflectors, DDoS mitigation, AAA/RADIUS; and management infrastructure including support channels to us, monitoring and alerting, graphing and dashboards, documentation, VPN access and IPAM. If required, we can also build the infrastructure for VoIP telephony services.

This is a unique offering which allows the ISP business leaders to concentrate on: sales and support; customer retention; expanding services and products; building and maintaining the access network; and financing and accounts. All with the reassurance that their core network is being professionally managed and monitored.
