Key Considerations
The key requirements for connectivity at most organisations are simple – fast, reliable, secure, and cost effective. Assessing a provider’s ability to deliver on these requirements is the real challenge. Here are some of the questions you should be asking your connectivity provider:
Speed
Is the bandwidth figure you are quoting the maximum bandwidth, the average bandwidth or the minimum service level we can expect?
Reliable
How resilient is the proposed solution? What are the key links in the chain of connections you are proposing? What redundancy measures are in place for each of these, and how are these redundancies activated? What will be the difference in service level while the network connection relies on these redundancies?
Secure
Is the solution designed to cater for your organisation’s challenging security environment? Is it able to apply the appropriate level of filtering, monitoring and protection without sacrificing performance?
Scalable
Will the ISP solution grow as your needs grow? Will the performance of the network be negatively impacted by increased usage from other customers or users?
Cost Effective
What is the charging model? Is it a set fee or volume based? If it is a tiered fee structure based on volume, what triggers a move up or down the tiering and how transparently is this monitored? Are fees adjusted if agreed service levels are not reached?
