BlueSky from Blue Connections IT
Managed Firewall as a Service

Blue Connections IT BlueSky’s Virtual Data Centre solution is protected by an industry-leading Firewall platform, solely owned, and managed by Blue Connections IT.
Dedicated Network and Security experts maintain the platform as part of a Managed Firewall service offering, ensuring the highest level of security, availability, and performance for BlueSky customers.
The Firewall platform is built on Fortinet Next-Generation (NGFW) Firewalls hosted in NextDC Melbourne, Australia. The Fortinet firewalls provide perimeter security for BlueSky tenants and enable features such as Software Defined Networking (SD-WAN), Threat Protection and Virtual Private Network (VPN). Each Firewall has internet transit included as standard, with Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) enabled on every internet service.
The following core features and services are provided:
How does it work?
BlueSky customers are allocated their own Virtual Domain (VDOM) on the Fortinet FortiGate platform. A VDOM is configured in the same concept as a Virtual Machine is deployed on a Hypervisor, with each VDOM logically isolated and segmented in a multi-tenanted environment. Customers specify configurations for their VDOM as part of the BlueSky onboarding phase. All Fortinet licenced features are available as part of the managed firewall service and will be enabled by default and customised as part of the BlueSky tenancy setup.
