Business continuity
Information Technology is located right in the heart of today’s organizations, many companies now that they rely on their network to take them for granted. 24 digital seventh in today’s economy, and is not available on the Internet and email access only, internal network is down, try to imagine the impact on critical business data is lost.
Unexpected effects of your business, whether in the form of malicious damage, including several types of natural disasters such hackers in the world and can destroy tissue. For example, take a flash flood in 2007 in England. Then record the most rainy month in July, about 7,100 businesses flooded, so the damage, estimated to cost 3 pounds billion1. However, in this picture, some of the company that used (if any) when it has become impossible to operate the service, failed to take the cost of lost business during the time into account damage to the reputation of or inability to communicate can be associated. You can predict the future but who has time and interruption if your business is to plan ahead carefully, you can see that in the best position.
To meet the requirements of the elasticity to cope with unexpected events and improve both the data, companies today need more than just the ability of future generations only network. They require a combination of next-generation service concept of telecom providers and powerful capabilities of their networks. When business resilience, it is the case fits all ‘in’ rather than just one size. NTL: Telewest Business to meet their needs and close cooperation with customers and sewer service. Is the next generation of business resiliency here.
The retention rate is how do I need?
In many industries, there are unique requirements for durability. In the banking industry, for example, accurate and very important real-time access to trade data, business continuity and resilience is important to subject to certain regulations such as Basel II, as we believe there. However, for most companies, the rules and regulations are not so strict and can be serious and the impact of the collapse of the network without an adequate backup system yet. Out of business within 18 months of 90 percent per company lost data problem and the main network, 80 percent of your SME, according to the Chamber of Commerce in London, which is considered evil, especially have been forced to close within two years at the time of failure.
Fact of life is all business, regardless of company size or industry what they do not face the risk of disaster information is stored, how you use it, in fact, need to bring certainty. Companies to minimize exposure to risk in one site, make sure that priority is given to the most important data, move data freely, 100% backed up from any site you should be able to see that.
Meet the requirements of each type of network?
Network features and flexibility, providing a platform for technology providers to deploy robust generation communications services. As the ability to withstand unexpected events as well, the current network needs to be able to handle everincreasing amount of information conveyed in the business today. Their needs, multimedia applications, image-driven, user-generated content, has grown from just an e-mail and web browsing including video. To accommodate the rapidly growing volume of data and rapid pace of operational changes, the network must be both highly flexible and scalable. Rapidly growing labor force that is constant to business resources, and requires uninterrupted access, next generation network can only provide the necessary flexibility and elasticity.
NTL: establish specific requirements in the digital age in mind a hundred million next-generation networks’ £ 130 operator Telewest, based on fiber optic technology, extremely tough. Is the problem of scalability of bandwidth, as can be upgraded quickly and easily on demand network, next generation, supply next-generation Ethernet services and IP required by changing business in today’s rapidly if you can. To reduce significantly the amount of tissue affected, telecommunications companies currently need to be involved much earlier in proactive network management. By constantly monitoring the network, NTL: Telewest Business is guaranteed to identify potential problems before they rise to the problem. As a result, has increased both network performance and user experience.
I can cover every possibility and how?
As simple to deploy two separate links to sites for business to business continuity is not, there are several considerations must be taken into account. And the extent to which customers want to go to ensure durability, depending on the importance of their information assets and their budgets, there are four major business continuity measures can be taken into account.
UK-wide access network of the two, because there is NTL: Telewest Business’ and, of BT, it stands to reason that you do not believe all the service is only one network is the lifeblood of the organization if the information is. On the contrary, have access to alternative networks, critical applications are guaranteed fixed runs great even with a single provider outage. alternative transmission paths, traffic is expected to handle peak traffic flooding out the network and service attacks are designed to make you buckle them, can provide protection against interference.
The second measure of business continuity, while eliminating single points of failure for the availability of voice and data services. Rather than relying on a single network provider to provide connectivity between the rest of the Internet and private networks or sites but can not be used for more uptime, the company must be a deliberate corruption of the security line, you can run multiple links to your site. In case the network connection has been destroyed in a single connection, calls for maintaining continuous service availability and seamless transfer of data can be routed to a backup connection.
One of the most basic tools to consider disaster recovery, companies spread their risk across the network. By creating a system of mirrors that will be supported at different points on the network regularly and automatically to all information and applications, businesses are protected in terms of a network outage is part of the information you might want.
Any – to – virtual private network and any connection (VPN) to connect multiple Ethernet can now be distributed across multiple sites on their IT organizations to replicate their critical business data. The problem is that natural disasters and, if it’s just a power failure, occurs when employees work with and work from home network is safe, despite the knowledge that can continue as usual in the off-site will be able to securely login to remote VPN. All of this – to – any connection is to address the need for a backup channel.
Finally, the main circuit of the organization, to run on other data which are all, in terms of either increases the risk of network congestion, prioritize important data is very important. Through NTL, applied to the eight classes of service: Quality of Service (QoS) networks Telewest Business and the pre-specified quality parameters are also business-critical data is a low priority data traffic such as Internet security to be submitted in advance. This organization, but the conditions are not favorable to business-critical applications, you might want to keep it running at optimum levels.
As an array of options available for business continuity, organizations, sitting, their unique needs, you need a provider for telephone companies that are ready to discuss a solution that best fits your budget and risk. NTL: Telewest Business is business, not the size of the budget of all major communications, and works closely with its largest customers. Services and technology-savvy team of local advisors, and project management in both pre-sales, work gloves and hand them to ensure that customers receive the best solutions for their business.
Can I offer a network design that is really tough and work the business?
Can be achieved only in a real business resilience when they converge at a high level of input in the design phase of network infrastructure consulting new network functionality. Until now, the traditional practice of telephone companies is to keep at arms length from the customer service they use, rather than responding to customer needs, which is only to serve as a provider of circuit. Generation telecommunications provider, as well as their phone company’s customer teams to ensure that you feel connected to the network, rather than invest in their services, your network should be exclusive.
As a next-generation communications provider, NTL: Telewest Business is to listen and understand the individual needs of their organizations and try to sit down. This way can be to help customers deploy, design that reflects the scope of the budget, measures that suit the risk associated with the type of traffic on the network.
Customer-centric approach and “can do” attitude will not guarantee that the NTL: Telewest business planning, to help design, from scratch, working with customers to implement their network. However, do not stop there, many of the same team, integration, and all the way left, while the network up and running. No one can predict the future, but you can by working with telecommunications providers to have this idea of next-generation network and customer-focused, can have ten thousand for the better.
