Broadband is changing business fast.
High speed Internet connections used to be the preserve of
the large enterprise. These days so much business is conducted
over the Internet that almost every business needs a connection.
Broadband is a relatively new arrival on the Internet connectivity
scene. Whilst the term is used to cover a variety of technologies
(ADSL, SHDSL, cable modems), in fact it refers to any transmission
technique that carries several data channels over a shared
wire.
DSL (Digital Subscriber's Line) services, for example, combine
separate voice and data channels over a single telephone line
- voice uses the low end of the frequency spectrum and data
uses the high end.
Although DSL is still a nascent technology, it is fast becoming
the first choice for businesses who either need to upgrade
to a faster link or bring down their Internet connection costs
without compromising on speed.
Why all the noise about broadband?
Broadband means high speeds, comparable to those previously
only available with a leased line from an ISP. The big difference
is cost. A broadband connection can save you up to 70%
when compared to a leased line solution.
Of course this is great news for business, but the devil
is in the detail. If you have begun to look into the possibilities
of a broadband connection for your business, no doubt you
will have realised that the range of options available is
considerable.
What do I need?
Having such a wide range of services available probably means
that you can find a solution to meet your requirements.
Whether you need a simple shared connection for your staff
to pick up their e-mails, or you need to connect geographically
separate offices, to supply a connection into the corporate
network for remote teleworkers or to supply remote access
for workers on the move - broadband can fill your requirements.
You need to choose the type of service that will best fit
your needs. If you want to run your own e-mail server or webserver,
for instance, you will need a static IP address. If you intend
to run your own high volume e-mail marketing campaigns, you
will require a higher upstream connection.
At Cisilion we've made it our mission to ensure that the
broadband solution you choose is the best fit for your requirements.
Partnering with Tiscali allows us to advise you
on, and then supply, the correct service for your business.
What about security?
Getting the connection is not the end of the story. With
more and more businesses connecting, Internet security has
become an overriding consideration. Who better to handle your
security than a company with an in depth knowledge of Cisco's
security solutions. Cisco security is widely accepted to be
among the best in the world.
Cisilion is proud to hold Cisco's VPN/Security accreditation.
This is your assurance that we can implement a security regime
which will secure your Internet connection and so protect
your business from unwanted and unauthorised intrusion.
This is one of the primary advantages of talking to Cisilion
when you implement your broadband solution. Not only can we
get you a great deal on your connection, we can ensure that
your business is properly protected. Speed is important. Being
safe in the knowledge that your connection is properly secured
is paramount.
