Anovis IT Services

Managed networks and cyber security, now part of the x-tention group

Anovis designs, installs and operates the networks that business applications run on, and it wraps security around them. The company, which trades as ANOVIS GmbH and presents itself as a partner for round-the-clock managed connectivity and security, has announced that it is joining the x-tention group. It tells customers that nothing changes for them: their contacts and the usual standard of service stay in place. It serves clients in several countries, including the United Kingdom and the United States, and describes itself as an established partner for companies at home and abroad.

Networks that stay flexible and safe

The company starts from the view that no one can predict how a firm's economic needs will develop, so a modern network has to be flexible and secure above all. Its offer includes managed secure SD-WAN and wide area networking, WAN acceleration and network infrastructure. In its blog it has written about a partnership around Juniper's 128T routing technology offered as a managed service, and about how to judge whether a network is fast enough when users complain.

Securing data centres and applications

For network and data centre infrastructure, Anovis advises on and supports planning, implementation and virtualisation of economical, future-ready technology, combined with what it calls best-of-class security knowledge. The result it aims at is agile infrastructure, virtualisation and converged systems that bring everything into one solution. Application security covers measures and tools for protecting applications, programming interfaces, data and identities that are increasingly exposed beyond the boundaries of company IT. A self-learning anomaly detection product is among the tools it has discussed, which learns how genuine users behave during commissioning.

Visibility and awareness

Many companies have more information on servers, storage and network devices than they can use, so Anovis offers security monitoring, deception technology, end user experience monitoring and security for operational technology and the internet of things, so that a client can see how its applications, information flows and dependencies connect. It adds cybersecurity awareness training, on the principle that people are the easiest target for attackers.

Operation around the clock

From concept through implementation to operation, the company works to a client's needs and runs a service management platform for its managed services. It also hosts an annual resilience forum on networks and security topics.
