Data Communication On Demand

A solid foundation for your IT & Voice, without having to build it yourself

While data communications costs remains the key criteria for business, availability/resilience, speed/performance and data security are all high on the agenda. Corporate data networks are becoming more and more business critical (particularly as voice and video are now increasingly being carried on the network - not just email and web browsing) so the ability to maximise uptime is critical. Compared to just a few years ago, there is a lot more high level focus if there is a network failure, so network reliability and management is crucial in your business today.

Many businesses attempt to resolve these issues either by relying upon one carrier for all their needs or install network equipment in house to connect to a number of different carriers. This leads to an expensive overhead for network management, sole reliance upon the IT Manager and an ever increasing complexity in your data communications network.

What is Data Communications On-Demand?

Data Communications On-Demand provides a cost effective solution for those organisations that want managed network solutions, be they data, voice or other types of networks delivered from a diverse range of carriers to provide a high level of availability, with minimal in-house equipment managed on a flat rate charge per month.

As part of our Data Communications On-Demand service, we have recently completed the roll-out of our High Availability Network (HAN) that provides businesses of all sizes a new and improved level of service along with excellence in voice and data communications. The HAN has been designed to rapidly, reliably and securely transport voice and data traffic, all within its secure private network boundaries and to/from the Internet. Click Here to more about our High Availability Network.

In the USA, the  IDC group estimates that at least 30% of all enterprises prefer to buy this way and the experience in Australia seems to parallel the USA. Furthermore, the telecommunications industry seems to be trying to migrate quickly from provision of access and transport technologies, to the delivery of customized, managed, end-to-end services.
Included within the Data Communications On-Demand service range are:

• Ready made connection to access most services from the eight major Carriers
• Any access technology ranging from Fibre, Frame Relay, Ethernet, xDSL, Wireless Broadband and private 3G mobile.
• Aggregated Internet Access
• Point to Point private communications between your offices
