It also means:

• Our offsite back-up and disaster recovery service for customers now runs 10 times faster than before, all day every day.
• We can now locally host and support our customers’ physical servers (including SQL databases) if they also wish to benefit from a fast Enterprise Ethernet product. This reduces the amount of office space usually taken up by servers, as well as the related costs of powering and cooling IT equipment.
• Access to our critical cloud-delivered business applications has significantly improved our ability to respond to our customers faster than ever, increasing our own productivity.

We’ve also been able to cancel two previously used and much slower internet services that are no longer required due to the service level agreement of 99% plus uptime on the Enterprise Ethernet offering.

Customers no longer require having two slow and highly contended services, as the quality of voice calls can be prioritised in a single, reliable, and faster internet connection.

Outside of voice and video applications, many businesses and industries will have their own definitions of mission-critical applications which will benefit from priority data. Some examples include:

• Point of sale (POS) data needed by retailers and supermarkets
• Data used by sensors or robotic machines in high-end manufacturers
• Architecture firms using data-intensive cloud-based applications in their design processes
• CRM applications used by front-of-house contact centre agents
• Design agencies, videographers, photographers etc regularly transferring large files
