Managed Services

Managed Network Services

Most IT teams know when their network has completely failed. Fewer know when it is quietly underperforming.

Latency is slightly higher than it should be, while a circuit approaches capacity without anyone noticing. A configuration that has drifted from its design. By the time these issues become obvious, such as when a user escalates it, when an application starts timing out, or when a capacity problem becomes an outage, they have usually been present for longer than anyone realized.

Globalgig’s Managed Network Services change this model by offering proactive monitoring, active management, and ongoing optimization across your entire global estate, backed by our 24/7 NOC. Premier customers also receive more support for equipment and software configuration from our Service Advantage Team: dedicated Tier 3 engineers who know your network, maintain as-built documentation, and resolve issues without you needing to join a support queue. 

It is not a help desk you call when things break. It is an operational team that prevents things from breaking in the first place.

Benefits

Problems are found before your users are affected.

A NOC that already knows your network.

Management that prevents problems, not just records them.

Less time firefighting. More time on the work that matters.

Managed services matched to your operation.

Visibility at the Service Level, Not the Device Level 

Most managed network services report on individual components. A circuit is up or down; a device is reachable or not. This tells you what has failed but rarely why, and your organization never knows how close it was to a problem before it happened.

Our Business Services monitoring framework works differently. Rather than tracking individual assets in isolation, it aggregates every underlying network component at each site into a single logical service view, then measures that service across three dimensions simultaneously.

This includes availability, which is whether the service is live or not; risk (the likelihood of an outage based on current asset impairments); and health, which is the degree of performance degradation before a fault becomes visible.

By correlating data across multiple sources and abstracting device-level noise into business-impacting conditions, it generates prioritized events and enriched tickets that point directly to the root cause, rather than symptoms.

Your team and ours see the same picture, structured around the services your business depends on, instead of the components underneath. The result is faster fault identification, stronger SLA alignment, and a support model oriented around your outcomes rather than your infrastructure.

Why Globalgig

A Logical Extension of Your Team, With Expertise and Context Specific to Your Network

The team monitoring your network has deep knowledge of the OEM platforms being managed, and full context of your environment. Carrier escalations are managed by Globalgig on your behalf. Faults are resolved by us, so you receive updates, not tasks.

Global Coverage, Local Knowledge

Globalgig’s Managed Network Services covers over 195 countries, similar to our connectivity portfolio. When a circuit in an unfamiliar market has a problem, we have the carrier relationships and local knowledge to resolve it, without your team having to navigate a foreign carrier’s support process.

Connectivity and Management From the Same Provider

When the team managing your network is the same one that delivers your circuits, the management context is complete from day one. There is no onboarding lag, discovery phase, or gap between what the connectivity provider knows and what the managed service provider can see.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

Can Orchestra Insight manage services from other providers, not just Globalgig?

In many cases, yes. Orchestra Insight’s monitoring overlay services can be applied to circuits and devices from other providers, bringing them into the same visibility layer as Globalgig-managed services. This is typically available through our Integrated Managed Services offering. The scope depends on the services involved and management access available.

How does Globalgig Voice integrate with our existing network?

Our voice services are delivered over your existing network — dedicated internet, MPLS VPN, or SD-WAN — instead of requiring separate, dedicated circuits for voice traffic. When voice and network services come from the same provider, quality issues have a single escalation path and a team that can see both layers.

What happens if a replacement device fails?

Break/fix support with emergency replacement is included in the managed service. If a device fails, we replace it. Remote firmware upgrades and proactive monitoring mean that many issues are identified and resolved before they affect service.

How does global networking integrate with SD-WAN, SASE, and Cloud Connect?

Your internet and private circuits are the transport layer that SD-WAN runs across. Your SASE architecture enforces security policies at the network edge. Cloud Connect extends this connectivity privately and directly into your cloud provider environments, bypassing the public internet entirely. When all four are from Globalgig, they are designed, managed, and visible together in Orchestra Insight. When these services are from different providers, the integration between each layer becomes a coordination exercise your team ends up managing.

What does ‘one point of accountability’ actually mean when something goes wrong?

It means you call Globalgig, and we handle everything. We manage the fault with the underlying carrier, track escalation, and keep you informed. You are not coordinating between your IT team and a carrier support team in another country. In a fragmented multi-carrier model, fault resolution often stalls with the question of which provider is responsible. With Globalgig, that question never reaches you. It stays between us and the carriers.

What is the difference between broadband and dedicated internet access (DIA)?

Broadband is shared infrastructure. The bandwidth is shared with other users, and performance varies with local demand. It is cost-effective and appropriate for sites where some performance variation is acceptable. Dedicated internet access provides a private circuit with guaranteed bandwidth that does not contend with other users. Performance is consistent, regardless of what other users are doing, and it is backed by a formal SLA. DIA is suitable for mission-critical sites, primary SD-WAN connectivity services, and anywhere that variable performance creates business risk.

Our broadband in [country] is performing badly, and we do not know why. Can Globalgig help?

Yes, poor broadband performance in a specific market is usually a service design issue, the wrong service type for your use case, a peering problem, or network congestion between your location and the destinations your users are trying to reach.
We assess all three before making any recommendations. If you are already managing circuits through Globalgig, our management platform, Orchestra Insight, gives you performance visibility to identify where the problem originates and our NOC manages the resolution. If you are not a customer, speak to us about your current estate, and we will give you an honest assessment.

What does Megaport provide, and what does Globalgig offer?

Megaport provides the software-defined network infrastructure and physical presence in cloud provider facilities worldwide. Globalgig offers managed services, including design, procurement, and provisioning through a single point of contact. For organizations that want ongoing management, Globalgig’s Managed Network Services adds proactive monitoring through Orchestra Insight, as well as fault management, carrier escalation, and full circuit lifecycle management. One relationship, team, and a single bill.

Which SD-WAN platform should we choose — Palo Alto, Cisco, or Fortinet?

It depends on your environment, existing technology estate, and security roadmap. Each of the platforms we manage has distinct strengths, and the right choice varies by deployment. Some prioritize AI-driven application performance and a clear path to SASE. Others integrate deeply with existing infrastructure, or converge SD-WAN and network security services into a single platform. We will make a clear recommendation based on your specific situation before you commit.

We have sites across multiple countries. Can you support this?

This is exactly what we are built for. Globalgig operates in over 195 countries, and has access to more than 200 global carriers, with local circuit options in most markets. Multi-country deployments are routine, not a special project.

Strengthen Network Operations Without Adding Headcount

When network operations depend on your internal team to spot issues, chase providers, and coordinate the fix, every incident becomes a time drain.

Speak to a specialist about what your business needs from the network, what your team can realistically own, and where managed support can reduce pressure while keeping sites, circuits, and services running reliably.
