Disaster Recovery
Customers fear any network downtime. It impacts day-to-day operations, causing revenue loss and disgruntled customers. Providing a good infrastructure for disaster recovery ensures security.
One of the biggest advantages of private IP is the fact that routing of network traffic is centered on dynamic mapping within a private IP cloud. The advantage of MPLS is huge in the case of disaster recovery situations. If one IP path is unavailable then the traffic will instinctively try another IP path until it gets to its destination. In cases where the primary IP route is not available, the automatic switchover of IP traffic to another IP route eliminates the need to manually configure DLCI to DLCI connections which is typical in a frame relay environment. MPLS is the underlying technology which facilitates this network path, thereby providing additional security and reducing the burden of manual configuration on network operations. The question for IT staff and network personnel is having the ability to manage this dynamic multiplex environment thereby ensuring optimal performance of mission-critical applications and the underlying infrastructure it supports.
Visual UpTime Select’s Class-of-Service (CoS) module provides an IP solution that solidifies the concept of an end-to-end IP circuit. CoS on private IP and MPLS –based IP VPNs is an essential feature because it allows the ability to set priorities for individual applications. Customers want to ensure that they have enough platinum, gold and silver CoS levels in order to accommodate the prioritization of their mission critical applications. Visual UpTime Select provides visibility into IP network traffic irrespective of the network path utilized by supporting private IP MPLS based environments. This provides assurance to customers that when disaster recovery services are drawn upon, they will have the Layer 1 to Layer 7 visibility into all traffic across the entire infrastructure.
Visual UpTime Select is a market leading solution which provides Layers 1-7 visibility across the entire infrastructure. Leading UpTime Select customers span several industries, including retail, financial, government and manufacturing.
