Advances in internet and internal networking technology have revolutionised the business landscape, but without robust network foundations with effective monitoring and good security practices, the risks can be greater than the rewards. Brennan began life helping companies to recover from IT disasters, so we’re perfectly positioned to deliver the secure, scalable, cost-effective network needed to future-proof your business’ productivity and connectivity.
Secure. Scalable. Managed Network Services
Brennan offers a comprehensive range of Managed Network Services, from business-grade internet access to next-generation data security.
Network Connectivity and Internet Access
Whether you need lightning-fast, business-grade connectivity, or a simple-but-robust residential-grade connection, Brennan can tailor a network solution to meet your needs. We manage and own our network, and partner with leading ‘last mile’ access providers, such as Telstra, Optus and TPG, so we can offer you the best possible pricing and flexibility in network configurations. What’s more, the Brennan Service Level Agreement (SLA) guarantees you’ll experience industry-leading levels of ‘uptime.’
Hybrid Networking
Our Hybrid Networking service allows customers to combine Private IP/MPLS and Internet-based carriage services with SD-WAN technologies, for enhanced data speeds and advanced security. The flexibility of hybrid networking is ideal for fast-growing businesses, who are expanding into new locations or making increasing use of data-intensive cloud-based applications.
Network Security
To ensure your data remains secure, and your performance remains unimpeded, Brennan Managed Networks can implement a sovereign, secure network that comprehensively protects your resources, users and data. And thanks to our partnership with Fortinet, we offer Enterprise-grade, AI-Powered secure networking - from the user to the edge, to the core.
Monitoring and Response
When combined with Brennan’s Security Service, our Managed Network Service can offer 24/7/365 network monitoring, with security alerts and a rapid response team trained to stop problems in their tracks. What’s more, our proprietary Network Portal provides our customers with visibility over their network and devices, near real-time performance insights and enriched reporting.
Scalable Network Design
There’s no ‘one size fits all’ management network solution. That’s why Brennan-Managed Network Services are not only tailored to your business’ current needs, but its future needs too. Our customisable solutions are designed to grow with your business, with the option to invest in crucial network hardware up-front, or to spread the financial costs by adopting an as-a-service payment model.
Continuous Improvement
Because technology never stops evolving, our engineers never stop learning. We’re continually optimising our customers’ network architecture, to reflect new technological advancements and maintain protection against even the most malicious of emerging cybersecurity threats.
Data Privacy
Data privacy is mission critical to modern businesses. Our Private IP Networking delivers ultra-secure, seamless connectivity for employees working across multiple offices (or remotely) on a wide range of devices. Brennan customers can expect low-latency networks, where time-sensitive traffic is prioritised with Quality of Services (QoS) assurances.
With our comprehensive digital privacy technology, you can rest easy, knowing your data is only accessible by the right people at the right time.
Our Managed Network Service partners
We work with industry-leading security partners and last-mile internet access providers spanning hardware, software, data centres and networks to deliver the fast, secure, affordable network services that your business needs to thrive.

Frequently asked questions
What are managed network services, and what does Brennan manage?
Managed network services outsource the day-to-day management, monitoring and improvement of your business network to a specialist provider. Brennan’s Advanced Networking covers business internet access, private networking (MPLS/Private IP), SD-WAN and hybrid networking, next-generation firewall security, and ongoing network optimisation, supported by experienced engineers and defined service levels.
What business internet connectivity options can Brennan provide?
Brennan provides business-grade internet connectivity tailored to your locations, performance needs and resilience requirements. We can deliver and manage options such as fibre and NBN-based services, and work with leading last-mile providers (including Telstra, Optus and TPG) to help you balance speed, availability and cost.
What is SD-WAN, and when is it the right choice?
SD-WAN (software-defined wide area networking) helps organisations connect sites and users more efficiently by intelligently routing traffic across one or more links (for example, internet and private connectivity). It’s often a strong fit for multi-site organisations, cloud-first environments, and businesses that want better application performance, improved visibility, and simpler network operations as they grow.
What’s the difference between MPLS (Private IP) and SD-WAN – and can Brennan combine them?
MPLS (Private IP networking) is designed for predictable performance and traffic prioritisation (QoS), while SD-WAN adds flexibility and application-aware routing across multiple links. Brennan can combine Private IP/MPLS with SD-WAN in a hybrid design to help you balance performance, resilience, security and cost, especially across multiple offices and cloud applications.
How does Brennan secure business networks?
Brennan designs and manages secure networks to protect users, data and applications, from the edge to the core. This includes next-generation firewall capability and secure networking delivered with best-in-class partners such as Fortinet, helping reduce risk while maintaining performance across sites, devices and cloud services.
Does Brennan provide 24/7 network monitoring and incident response?
Absolutely. Brennan provides 24/7/365 monitoring to detect network and security issues early and respond quickly. Customers also gain access to Brennan’s Network Portal for near real-time visibility and reporting across their network and managed devices, helping improve performance, uptime and troubleshooting speed.
Can Brennan’s Advanced Networking scale for multi-site and growth?
Brennan designs networks to support multi-site operations and future expansion, whether you’re opening new locations, enabling hybrid work or increasing reliance on cloud applications. Solutions are right-fit to your current environment and can scale over time, with options to align commercial models to your preferred approach (capex or as-a-service).
