There are numerous details that need to be put in place in maintaining
seamless connectivity in the workplace and ensuring that everything is
functioning efficiently. This can be quite tedious especially if your office
has multiple national and international locations. Companies will greatly
benefit from end to end services provided by one single vendor. A complete
range of IT solutions from a single point of contact eliminates the headache of
coordinating and troubleshooting with several vendors.
For companies with multiple locations, VPN/MPLS allows for cost
effective, superior connectivity and secure data travel across all branches. No
matter how superior any system is, companies should always be prepared for some
unforeseen problems, either from natural disasters or malicious intent. Your
solutions provider should have collocation and data backup options in various
locations with proper DR (disaster recovery) systems in place. This system should replicate and store data
as your company creates it, giving you instant access to your complete files
once problems are encountered with the original files. Should there be a power outage,
theft or any other problem occur, the DR servers should be up and available
immediately to prevent loss of work for your company.
The VPN/MPLS and DR systems are just the basics; it is highly
recommended that your vendor be able to provide you with continuous support
before, during and after the complete network set up. Each company is unique
and has unique needs so your network solutions provider should be flexible and
be able to address the company and all its individual branch needs. Some would
say that it is risky to entrust your entire system to one provider this is why
you should be meticulous in ensuring that your provider has the professional expertise and resources to have several back up options in place to ensure
continuous productivity from your end.
