Industry: Information technology and server hosting
Challenges:
- Guaranteeing Internet connectivity uptime to local users, remote employees and offices.
- Dependence on a single ISP link and saturation impairs normal efficiency.
- Datacenter provides hosting capabilities for customers, servers and applications.
- Datacenter also provides business continuity, requires incremental reliability due to 24/7 engagements.
Solution:
- The Elfiq LB-500 was selected for its performance, scalability and feature set to manage current and recently added Internet connections.
- The LB-500 can grow with OS4 Techno’s needs since it is upgradeable to the LB-1000 model.
- A secondary link was added from a national microwave wireless service provider to diversify the ISP’s technologies in case of physical network disruptions.
- Elfiq’s professional services were retained to ensure rapid, efficient deployment.
Benefits:
- OS4 Techno’s Internet access has been uninterrupted since Elfiq’s LB-500 was installed.
- With the LB-500, OS4 Techno can meet its contractual obligations while increasing performance.
- The hosting division’s performance has been excellent. With the extra bandwidth, access to servers has been improved and customer satisfaction is high.
- Internal Internet services (VPN, webmail, etc.) have been reliable and performing to expectations for all internal and external users.
