Remember Your Bandwidth
October 24, 2014
Bandwidth directly correlates to backup and disaster recovery. The need for internet speed is going to keep increasing as more people adopt cloud strategies and move their CRMs, accounting, servers, and more to the cloud. These services are mission critical. In order to make these work, more bandwidth is necessary to create more efficiency.
The need for more bandwidth goes hand in hand with having a good backup and disaster recovery plan. Having a failover – additional connection – gives additional protection. Planning for future growth with additional bandwith is just as important as establishing a good disaster recovery plan.
Data Up
May 29, 2014
I remember the good old days
Back in early 90’s
The internet was new
Everyone was trying to get online
And we were all using…..
Dial up
Honey…
I just dialed up the internet
I am going to run to the hardware store
We should be connected….
By the time I get back
Yawn…….
After tolerating the dial up
For several years
The phone company
Came up with a new way
Of delivering the internet over copper
Welcome to the world of DSL
A big small step forward
Is there anyone out there still using DSL?
As we continued to thirst for
Faster access to information
Fiber was introduced
While copper was like driving down
A one lane road
Fiber was like driving on
A 24 lane highway
However;
As access to information
Was getting faster and faster
The cost was getting
Higher and higher
Deregulation was introduced
To bring competition to the field
Competition was designed to control prices
For a time
This apparently was not happening
What should we be looking at…
When we are buying access to information
Do we look for the lowest price?
Do we pay the higher price?
Is more better?
Are all speeds the same?
Should I want a faster download speed?
Or
Faster upload speed?
These are all questions everyone should be asking
We find
That many people are not asking these questions
Advertising is designed to
Spark an interest
Make people call
Get customers in the door
But as we know
Cheaper is not always better
You have to understand
What are your needs
There is no one size fits all solution
At HBS we listen
We evaluate what you are currently doing
Determine how to deliver
What you want
Designed to meet your needs
Several years back
Businesses were paying over $1000 a month
For fast data access
Slowly the prices began to come down
As competition entered the field
But companies were still paying
$600 – $700 a month for fiber
Enter…..
Comcast and Fios
You say Tomatoe ….
I say Tamatoe….
Both are good companies
Making a push to
Saturate the commercial market
Looking to capitalize on price and speed
Comcast and Fios
Are both tripping over themselves
Offering high speed data access
At a fraction of the cost
There are currently big savings
To be found in the data delivery field
HBS represents both Comcast and Verizon
Our services extend to lighting up
A center city building
Bringing access to all the tenants
To bringing phone and data capabilities to your office
Many clients are beginning to use Comcast and Fios
For redundancy
(As a fail over should their T1s or PRI go down)
Some keep the voice on their T1s or PRIs
And move their data to Cable and Fios
Not only will we guide you to the best solution
We will manage the installation
Delivering the product to your location
Getting you up and running
Providing service support
As the need arises
HBS is here
To guide our clients thru the
Maze of information
Delivering smart solutions
To your business
