Business connectivity for Gaming

What's included with our connectivity service

01

Site Survey & Availability Check

We assess your current bandwidth usage, number of users and devices, cloud application reliance and growth plans -- then recommend the product that genuinely fits. Working with Fidelity Group's infrastructure data, we identify the fastest, most reliable options at your specific premises including fibre availability and exchange distances.

02

Ordering & Provisioning Management

We handle the entire ordering process -- from initial order through carrier provisioning, installation scheduling and go-live. For leased lines, this includes wayleave applications, fibre routing surveys and civil works management. You don't deal with the telecoms provider at any stage.

03

Router & Firewall Configuration

We configure your router with proper settings, set up firewall rules, establish VPN connections, configure static IPs and ensure your network is both fast and secure. If you're on a managed IT plan, this integrates seamlessly with your existing network monitoring and management.

04

Network Integration

We integrate your new connection with existing infrastructure -- switches, Wi-Fi access points, VoIP phones, printers and connected devices. Full end-to-end testing ensures your team can work from day one. Upgrades are planned with careful cutover to minimise downtime.

05

Ongoing Monitoring & Support

Proactive monitoring for outages, latency issues and performance degradation -- we often know about problems before you do. If a fault needs raising with the carrier, we handle it. One point of contact, no sitting on hold, no being bounced between departments.

06

Failover & Resilience Options

For businesses where downtime is not an option, we design failover solutions -- secondary broadband from a different carrier, 4G/5G backup that kicks in automatically, or dual leased lines with automatic failover routing. Seamless switching so fast your team doesn't even notice.

Why Cloudswitched for connectivity?

IT company first, connectivity provider second. That's why your broadband actually works properly.

IT company, not just a reseller

We configure your router, firewall and network properly — not just plug in a box and leave. Your connectivity is integrated with your entire IT infrastructure.

One point of contact

No dealing with call centres. You call us, and we deal with the carrier. One relationship, one phone call, one team that knows your business.

Right product, not the most expensive

We recommend based on what you actually need — not what earns us the biggest commission. If SoGEA is enough, we'll say so. No upselling.

Proactive monitoring

We monitor your connection and often know about issues before you do. When there's a problem, we're already on it — not waiting for you to call.

Enterprise-grade infrastructure

Through Fidelity Group, you get access to the same carrier-grade infrastructure used by large enterprises — at prices that work for SMBs.

Full network integration

We don't just install a line. We integrate it with your switches, Wi-Fi, VoIP and cloud services — making sure everything works together from day one.

Managed cutover

Upgrading your connection? We plan the switchover carefully to minimise downtime, keeping the old line live until the new one is fully tested.

Part of your IT team

Already a Cloudswitched IT support client? Your connectivity slots straight into your existing support. Not yet? We can manage both together for maximum efficiency.

Failover & resilience

Need guaranteed uptime? We design failover solutions with backup connections that kick in automatically — so your business keeps running no matter what.

Can you protect our servers from DDoS attacks?

We design and deploy complete esports venue infrastructure including low-latency LAN networking, player stations, referee monitoring systems, broadcast-quality streaming setups, and spectator Wi-Fi. We provide on-site engineers during tournaments to ensure zero technical disruptions.

How do you support game development teams?

We build high-performance development environments with fast build servers, optimised version control for large binary assets, render farm management, and workstations configured for your engine. We ensure your team spends time creating, not waiting for builds or fighting with tools.

Can you handle traffic spikes during game launches?

We design auto-scaling infrastructure that handles the massive traffic surges during launches and events. We load test ahead of time, implement queuing systems, and provide 24/7 monitoring during launch windows to resolve issues before players notice them.
