Bandwidth Selection & management

Bandwidth attracts traffic like bees to honey: It is increasinly more important to select the right bandwidth option and resillience for your business needs, and then making sure that the bandwidth is not abused or used in ways that detract from the core link requirement, such as office to office VPN, or Voice over IP Applications.

Companies must ask themselves whether connectivity is critical to their business. Whatever a company's size, if it is carrying out e-commerce, for example, it will need a highly reliable connection to ensure that it doesn't lose revenue as a result of a bandwidth squeeze or extended downtime.

A dedicated, leased-line connection provides the best performance and repair response times - you don't share bandwidth with anyone else, data can be uploaded and downloaded at the same speed, plus leased lines come with service-level agreements which guarantee almost 100% availability. However, such performance doesn't come cheap.

Broadband V's Leased Line

Falling broadband prices are tempting many companies to explore the option of ADSL or DSL - though there is a reason for ADSL's low price tag: an ADSL connection works well for organisations which can live with less than 100% reliability and which have only basic Internet requirements, such as e-mail and Web-browsing. Those companies with more sophisticated needs will recognise a number of shortcomings including slow response times to faults and contended service.

Standard (Non-Resillient) Leased Line

This is the most common type of leased line link offering extremely fast and reliable levels of service, plus our 100% Guaranteed SLA and 4 hour repair to fix fault logging system.

This is a single non-resillient connection and while extremely reliable would not be suitable for mission critical applications where even the smallest amount of downtime is fatal to the business needs. For a fully resillient solution the next level of service should be considered. Resillient Solution.

All leased lines come with the normal features for a Netlink Leased Line. Please select Features from the left hand menu to view.

Typical Leased Line

Fully Resillient Leased Line

The solution of choice is a fully redundant and resillient configuration. Several key points could break but the client would not see any outage at all. We proactively monitor all links and deal with any outage immediately, bringing all links back into play in the shortest possible time.

We offer special deals on resillient connections where the client and business simply cannot tolerate loss of internet services.

Reducing unwanted and undesirable traffic

Finally, without the right precautions in place, your valuable bandwidth may be consumed by unwanted and undesirable traffic. According to a recent survey, spam accounts for a staggering 40% of all e-mail traffic, with 'adult' spam, such as teasers for porn sites and bandwidth-grabbing pornographic images, taking a 16% share of all unsolicited mail. Anti-spam and anti-porn services keep such traffic out of your network, maximising the bandwidth available for legitimate applications.

All leased lines come with full MRTG Statistics plus Anti-Spam and Anti-Virus on all inbound and outbound e-mail. Netlink have installed and configured multiple high specification servers to filter and clean e-mail, allowing the bandwidth used to be only for real requirements and not spam.
