Break Down Barriers

The geographic barriers that once made business collaboration difficult are being torn down entirely. You no longer have to be in the same office, or even in the same city to have a face-to-face meeting.

With Limelight Collaboration, you encourage a whole new level of innovation and engagement. Video conference with a partner in Hong Kong or provide live chat support to a customer miles away. Distance is no longer an issue.

Deliver Your Message

Limelight Collaboration isn’t a cookie cutter approach to workplace collaboration. We recognize that no two companies’ needs are exactly alike. We’ll help you choose which collaboration tools for business are best for your business, but we do it all on one network. And we don’t stop with better hardware. We’ll help you implement a full on collaboration strategy, with all the support you need along the way.

TBL’s cloud-based collaboration solutions include:

• Cisco video conferencing
• Cisco WebEx
• Cisco Telepresence
• Cisco VoIP phone
• And more!

Attain Predictability, Retain Agility

In a world where more people are on the go, clients exist across countries and continents, and the organization never truly sleeps, you need to have solutions with the ability to grow with your company. Functionality and flexibility are essential.

That’s exactly why Limelight Collaboration is based on a per user and per month cost.  There are no surprises – if you hire someone new or lose an employee, you’ll know exactly how it will affect your pricing.  Limelight Collaboration is not a lease with rigid terms. We enable your organization to adapt to changing conditions, all while consuming the best collaborative technologies available.

Capability You Can Quantify

Less than one fifth of one percent of TBL’s peers have been singled out for their ability to provide reliable, predictable technology solutions as a service. Limelight Collaboration is buttressed by Cisco Collaboration accreditations, such as their Managed Service Provider Master and Collaboration Master certifications. You know that you can count on us to operate your collaborative solution, around the world.

Regardless of what percentage of your business systems are virtualized, the need to support your computing infrastructure is diverting your staff’s focus from strategic functions that generate revenue for your company. Today’s businesses are feeling pressure to entertain a public cloud offering. But your server and desktop resources are best located in a facility you control – not in someone else’s data center hundreds of miles away and intermingled with thousands of strangers. Access to offsite resources can be slow, unreliable and stagnant… that’s not okay with us and it’s not what’s best for your business. Switch to TBL Networks’ Limelight Server and Desktop solutions. Everything resides on your premises and serves your employees exclusively.

We’ve Knocked Down All Obstacles

Your business is versatile so your technology needs to be as well. That’s why our Limelight Server for data center consolidation offers complete cost predictability, with zero inflection points for scaling the solution. It’s priced per virtual machine, per month for easy growth and it’s guaranteed to be available, so there’s never a loss of functionality. Best of all, it’s completely managed by TBL. And when the need arises, TBL makes disaster recovery easy to add on. Focus on the applications that get work done while we manage, maintain, and upgrade the muscle behind them.

Out with the Old, In with the New

Your company’s desktop computers aren’t refreshed all at once, they’re replaced in phases. While you handle pushing out the old, let TBL Networks optimize the new. TBL Limelight Desktop is an all-in-one solution that makes it easy for your company to implement virtual desktops so you can access your resources anytime, anywhere, from any device. Right away, your company will be able to realize the increased resilience of virtual templates, which takes the recovery of end user desktop issues from days and hours to minutes and seconds.

“ Their value-added services made the adoption of this new architecture painless to the business. ”

Reliability, Flexibility, Affordability

Your business can’t afford an unreliable solution that eats away at your productivity. That’s why TBL Networks created Limelight PCaaS (Private Cloud as a Service). There’s no stress in implementation, all equipment is included, and we handle everything. Plus, it’s a predictable cost that’s flexible enough to grow with your business. Since there’s nothing we care about more than making your business better, the money you spend on our Limelight PCaaS is directly linked to the way it performs; if we don’t meet our guaranteed SLA, we put money back in your pocket.

Intelligence You Don’t Need to Think About

The cost vector of premium WAN connectivity is growing exponentially. This is largely rooted in the increased demands on a wide area network to provide transactional and collaborative applications in near real-time without performance degradation. With the rising costs of MPLS, just throwing bandwidth at the problem is no longer a sustainable solution.

Grow Performance, Not Costs  

How could something be better and cost less? TBL’s Limelight iWAN pairs existing MPLS connections with less expensive local internet connections to provide fast, secure, and resilient connectivity. Grow your performance this year by 150%, not your costs. Limelight iWAN is a service upgrade that pays for itself.

Active/Passive is so Passé

The tolerance for network outages is gone and as a result, companies are building secondary networks to provide failover when needed. An inherent inefficiency in this design is that only one network is used at a time. TBL’s Limelight iWAN combines the primary and backup networks to maximize the use of each investment while still allowing for redundancy in real-time.

“ Great from start to finish. ”

See More, Do Less

In a multi-pathed network, understanding the flow of information can be difficult. TBL’s Limelight iWAN provides a live look at how traffic is flowing, where congestion is occurring, and what applications are consuming the most resources. In addition, Limelight iWAN employs intelligent path selection technologies to allow for the assurance that each flow gets the treatment for which policy instructs. Fix performance issues before your users know they exist.

Control the Chaos

With the ever-changing landscape of technology, today’s business networks look vastly different than that of even 5 years ago. Gone are the days when tightly-controlled desktop and laptop endpoints were the only devices that connected to the corporate network. Employees expect the same sophistication consumer electronics provide them in their personal lives to empower their ability to work in the office. Smartphones, tablets, tv media players and personal laptops now proliferate the network. With this frenzy of corporate and personal devices, it can be daunting to control the chaos… and if we are being honest, quite impossible. TBL’s Limelight IAM allows organizations to easily adopt a “Bring Your Own Device” strategy, embracing productivity from people working in their preferred method, while escaping the administrative burdens of the past.

Don’t Fear the Chiller

The Internet of Things trend is providing network access to almost every device. With Limelight IAM you no longer need to feel any discomfort from the same HVAC system that keeps you comfortable in the office. For example, there are now smart environmental and lighting control units, badge readers, IV pumps, and vending machines that all benefit from data networking. Each of these device types provide critical functions but are all inherently different in the levels of access they require. Don’t see the need for your HVAC Chiller to be talking to your CRM? We don’t either.

Two Credentials Aren’t Enough

Since when is less information better? The majority of systems permit and deny network access on little more than a username and password combination. Imagine a world where airport security was relegated to make a decision based on your name and address alone. As modern networks are the gateway to information, it stands to reason that the more context we can fit into a policy decision, the more surgical and accurate we can be. If a member of your audit team wants to look at last quarter’s financials, you may make a different determination if they’re connecting from a public kiosk instead of their corporate laptop. If a contractor is asking for wireless access, you may rule differently on a request at 2 AM than 2 PM. Limelight IAM evaluates policy regardless of how a user or device chooses to connect, be it wired, wireless, or VPN.

“ We are very pleased with the experience during and the end result of the project. ”
