Mako Networks Partners with Allied to Provide Secure Networking Solutions to CALA Enterprises

Puerto Rico-based Solutions Provider and Integrator to Deliver the Mako System for Cloud Managed SD-WAN, Firewall and More

CHICAGO and SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – June 29, 2023 – Mako Networks, a leader in secure, cloud-managed networks for distributed enterprises, announced today at the MIDA Conference & Food Show 2023 in San Juan, Puerto Rico, that it has partnered with Allied Technology Consulting Group, a Puerto Rico-based provider and integrator of IT and communications solutions, which will offer The Mako System to enterprise organizations in Puerto Rico and Central and Latin America (CALA).

The Mako System is a PCI-certified, cloud-managed and carrier-independent secure networking platform that allows distributed enterprises to easily create secure, high-performance business networks.

Through Allied, CALA customers can leverage the Mako System to connect and manage thousands of sites via a highly secure, reliable, scalable and cost-effective central management system (CMS) that supports a range of critical services, including SD-WAN, next-gen firewall, VPN connections and cellular failover. Plus, it offers active management and reporting, and single-pane secure network controls.

“Allied advises enterprises on next-generation technologies solutions that drive productivity and profitability,” said Allied President Manuel Miranda. “Always-on secure networking is a foundational requirement. The Mako System makes it possible for us to easily deliver critical connectivity and security to our clients as their businesses evolve and grow.”

The Mako System consists of two parts:

  • The Mako CMS delivers a single, easy-to-use interface that’s available 24/7 on any internet-connected device. It supports advanced networking features like remote configurations, automated alerts, reports and diagnostics.
  • Mako Devices are available in various types, functions and form factors, including security gateways, VPN concentrators, access points and managed switches — all designed for ease of management and high security.

Notably, the Mako System is certified to PCI DSS Level One Service Provider standards. Unlike other providers that offer PCI-compliant services, Mako’s underlying technology is PCI certified annually by an independent Qualified Security Assessor (QSA), so PCI compliance is easier for customers to achieve.

The partnership with Allied is important to Mako Networks’ global expansion strategy through partnerships with global telecommunications brands and leading in-country integrators. The partnership expands Mako’s delivery capabilities and support for business customers in Spanish-speaking markets.

“Allied Technology is an ideal partner for Mako,” said Todd Vojta, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Mako Networks. “They are trusted and proven providers of IT hardware, telecom networks and security to Puerto Rican and Central and Latin American businesses. With the Mako System, they can now offer secure networking to their clients with plug-and-play scalability and profitability.”

Meet team members from Mako Networks and Allied at Booth 508 at the MIDA Conference & Food Show 2023, June 29-July 1, 2023, at the Puerto Rico Convention Center in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
