Communications infrastructures can experience outages for any number of reasons –environmental factors, human error, and even malicious intent. In every case, the ability to maintain business continuity both during and after the event is vital. Lost access to critical information for even short periods of time can do irreparable damage across the organization, impacting both revenue and reputation.

Solution Overview

An iDirect high-speed IP satellite communications network can operate completely independent of your terrestrial infrastructure or integrate seamlessly into any terrestrial network and is available under any conditions, anywhere in the world.

The iDirect Intelligent Platform™ is an easily deployable, efficient, fully encrypted solution that supports all voice, data and video communications requirements with high network availability. It can be seamlessly integrated into your terrestrial infrastructure to ensure business continuity. During normal operation, the extra bandwidth can be used to provide value-added services, such as distance learning or digital signage to employees and customers. When network outages occur, iDirect’s Network Management System, iVantage ® will reconfigure itself to provide broadband connectivity to your business-critical applications.

iDirect’s award-winning advanced Group Quality of Service (GQoS) allows for intelligent and extremely efficient bandwidth sharing and priority management while mapping to terrestrial CIRs and established SLA guarantees. Group QoS delivers greater traffic management flexibility, which means during a disaster when business continuity matters most, you can prioritize traffic for customers in a shared network environment.

With extremely efficient bandwidth technologies such as iDirect’s DVB-S2/ACM implementation and the scalable, universal hub solution, it’s easy to grow a network from just a few sites to a large network of several thousand sites.
