How to get a high performance dedicated internet link
Internet services offered in a business environment are very different from those offered to home networks, mainly because of the connection usage requirements. When using services such as video conferencing or IP telephony, the number of users that can be connected at the same time increases bandwidth usage and consumes more resources. At the same time, it is very important to maintain a stable connection without frequent drops, otherwise it can lead to poor service delivery or, worse, loss of credibility with customers and the company. On the other hand, internally, it can mean a decrease in production levels, which implies all costs.
WHAT IS A DEDICATED LINK?
A dedicated internet network is a customer-specific internet link service, i.e. it is not shared with other users and works continuously. It is a type of connection that allows you to be connected 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Unlike broadband Internet, it is not shared with other users: the connection is direct and exclusive between customer and provider. Technically, it is a direct fibre optic connection to the internet provider’s central office.
And what is this for? It’s simple, has it ever happened to you that, due to high traffic on the shared network, it freezes because there are too many clients connected to the same link and it doesn’t work properly? This is solved with a dedicated link, we will be able to navigate without blockages or problems.
Nowadays, there are many businesses whose correct functioning depends on a stable connection for their tasks, if there are failures in the network it can mean great losses. To solve this, a Dedicated Link will offer service levels that will guarantee almost total connection availability.
GENERAL BENEFITS OF DEDICATED INTERNET
In addition to the benefits mentioned above, it should also be noted that as it is a service mainly designed for companies or organisations, the different providers take care to provide a much more complete service compared to a conventional broadband internet service, so the issue of personalised support is usually another of the great advantages.
Likewise, network security or the restructuring of services in the event of possible outages is much more immediate.
DO I NEED A DEDICATED LINK IN MY COMPANY?
A dedicated internet service can be one of the best solutions for SMEs that need high availability internet connections.
In addition, it should be taken into account if sending and receiving large files is a regular task. As well as video conferencing or in the case of telephone exchanges.
The geographical location where you want to implement this type of network is also a factor to take into account, since in areas with difficult access, being a physical network, in many cases it cannot be installed, so it is necessary to consider other alternatives.
On the other hand, it is important to take into account the cost, as it will be much higher than the cost of installing a shared broadband network, so we will have to analyse the cost-benefit ratio for our specific case.
And, although in the case of KeyFibre we do not offer this type of service, it is important to note that this type of connection can only be achieved by using high performance passive fibre optic materials such as those we do offer.
We invite you to take a look at the rest of the website and ask us any questions you may have, we will be happy to help you. Until the next article!
