Internet Redundancy 101

Sure your data is backed up... but how's your Internet connection?

Does your company use Internet based applications like Citrix… utilize software as a service… make calls with VoIP… communicate via chat systems… access partner websites… or even use email? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, then you need Internet redundancy.

The key question is what happens if your Internet connection goes down?

Do you get angry phone calls from end-users and upper management? Do you get headaches trying to figure out what the problem is and when the connection will be back up? Does your stress level go up with every hour that goes by without connectivity?

The fact is that even with the reliability of a T1 connection (99.9%), the average downtime is still over 15 hours per year.

For every hour of downtime the average small to mid-sized business loses thousands of dollars in lost productivity. This translates to an average loss of over ,000 per year, not including the potential loss of sales and lower customer satisfaction levels.
