Zyxel_Bruce

🚩A familiar challenge for growing businesses

If your company is expanding into multiple branches—but your IT team isn’t—then you’re likely facing the same growing pains many small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) do.

Whether you're running retail stores, service hubs, or regional offices, managing security and connectivity across all sites without dedicated on-site IT staff can feel like a logistical nightmare.
We often hear things like:

• “I can’t be everywhere at once.”
• “One misconfiguration can bring a whole store offline.”
• “I need to see what’s happening across branches—without flying there.”

Sound familiar? The good news is, you're not alone—and there’s a smarter way to run a secure, scalable network with just a lean IT team.

💡 The smarter way: one platform to rule them all

Zyxel Nebula was designed exactly for this kind of scenario.
It allows IT teams to:

• Set up firewalls and security routers at remote locations without on-site visits
• Monitor and troubleshoot issues in real time from a central dashboard
• Enforce consistent security policies across all branches
• Gain full visibility into network health and threats—anytime, anywhere

Combined with our security firewall lineup, such as the USG FLEX Firewall series and USG LITE Security Routers, you get a flexible, cloud-first architecture perfect for distributed business operations.

🛠Real-world example: Lagoon Furniture, Taiwan

LagoonFurniture, a fast-growing Taiwanese furniture brand, operates 20 retail stores with just a small IT team at its headquarters.

Their challenge:

• Keep 20 stores securely connected
• Manage devices and policies with zero on-site IT support
• Ensure reliable performance for in-store systems and protect against threats

Here’s how they solved it:

🧱The deployment setup

To modernize their infrastructure, Lagoon chose:

• USG FLEX 100 Firewall at HQ
• USG LITE 60AX Security Routers in each store
• Nebula Cloud Platform for unified, remote management

Results included:

• ⚙️Seamless business operations and connections between headquarters and 20 branches
• 🛡️ Strengthened network security blocks malicious sites and prevents cyberattacks
• 📊 Simplified, remote network management through Nebula, enabling real-time troubleshooting and reducing IT maintenance costs

For MSPs, this exact model is highly repeatable. Imagine being able to onboard new client sites within minutes, manage hundreds of devices across tenants, and apply policy updates fleet-wide—all without leaving your office.

🎯Takeaway for MSPs & SMBs

This story isn’t just about one retailer. It’s a blueprint.
