Business Connectivity
Connecting your business to the rest of the world requires a solid connection to the Internet. We are aligned with the top providers for fiber, DSL, cable, satellite, 4G/5G, and even dial-up to provide your business connectivity.
SD-WAN
This new approach to network connectivity can lower operational costs and improve resource usage for multisite deployments. Network administrators can use bandwidth more efficiently and help ensure high–performance levels for critical applications without sacrificing security or data privacy.
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
This is the on-demand availability of highly scalable computing resources as services over the Internet. It eliminates the need for enterprises to procure, configure, or manage infrastructure themselves, and they only pay for what they use.
Managed Firewall
With features like real-time monitoring, threat detection, and rapid response, you’re not just protected; you’re steps ahead of potential threats.
Network Monitoring
Network Monitoring is a critical IT process for discovering, mapping, and monitoring computer networks and network components, including routers, switches, servers, firewalls, and more. It provides the information network administrators need to determine whether a network runs optimally in real time.
Wireless Networking
High-speed communications for data, voice, and more using strategically placed access points throughout your facilities. No cables.
Premises Cabling
Some applications still require hard-wired network access. Bayou Technologies installs top-quality, low-voltage cabling products that provide reliable connections.

SD-WAN
Securely Connecting Your Business Anywhere
Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) enables organizations to securely connect users, applications, and data across multiple locations while improving performance, reliability, and scalability. SD-WAN also simplifies the management of WANs by providing centralized control and visibility over the entire network.
Enhanced Performance
SD-WAN intelligently directs traffic over the most efficient path, ensuring optimal performance for critical applications, reducing latency, and improving user experience.
Cost Efficiency
SD-WAN can significantly reduce costs while maintaining or improving performance by leveraging lower-cost broadband internet links in conjunction with traditional MPLS circuits.
Improved Security
SD-WAN solutions often come with built-in security features such as encryption, firewalls, and intrusion detection/prevention systems, enhancing the network’s overall security posture.
Centralized Management
SD-WAN provides a centralized management platform that simplifies the deployment, configuration, and monitoring of the network across all locations, making it easier to manage a dispersed workforce.
Scalability
As the client grows, SD-WAN can quickly scale to accommodate new locations and increased traffic without significant infrastructure changes.
Reliability and Redundancy
SD-WAN supports multiple connections (e.g., MPLS, broadband, LTE), providing automatic failover capabilities to maintain connectivity even if one link goes down.
Business Continuity
SD-WAN’s ability to reroute traffic and maintain connections even during outages or disruptions helps ensure business continuity and minimize downtime.
INFRASTRUCTURE AS A SERVICE (IaaS)
Pay for What You Use in the Cloud
IaaS, or Infrastructure as a Service, is a cloud computing model that provides on-demand access to computing resources such as servers, storage, networking, and virtualization. IaaS is attractive because acquiring computing resources to run applications or store data the traditional way requires time and capital. Organizations must purchase equipment through procurement processes that can take months. They must invest in physical spaces, typically specialized rooms with power and cooling. And after deploying the systems, they need IT professionals to manage and maintain them. IaaS eliminates the need for companies to procure, configure, or manage infrastructure themselves, and they only pay for what they use.
Cost Savings
Reduce capital expenditures by eliminating the need to purchase and maintain physical hardware. Operational expenses can also be minimized through efficient resource usage.
Flexibility and Agility
Quickly adapt to changing business needs with the ability to deploy new applications and services rapidly.
Enhanced Security
Benefit from advanced security measures, including encryption, identity management, and compliance certifications, provided by IaaS vendors.

Accelerate the deployment of new applications and services, improving time to market and competitive advantage.
Business Continuity
Ensure high availability and disaster recovery capabilities to maintain business operations during disruptions.
Focus on Core Business
Free IT staff to focus on strategic initiatives and core business activities instead of infrastructure management.
Resource Optimization
Optimize resource allocation and utilization, reducing waste and improving overall efficiency.
Access to Latest Technology
