Business applications represent an organization’s business and brand. Therefore, because today’s mission-critical applications are being delivered over the Internet, it is even more critical that IT departments create a reliable and fast application delivery infrastructure. That is precisely what Ecessa helps organizations do – to align their WAN infrastructure with their business continuity requirements. This enables them to maintain consistent operations and services - even in the face of a disruptive event.

Business continuity is the plan and preventative mechanisms that help businesses remain up and running in the event of a disaster. Business continuity is not something implemented at the time of a disaster; business continuity represents the activities performed daily to maintain service, consistency, and recoverability. Incidents may include local events such as building fires, regional events such as earthquakes, or national events. From a network technology standpoint, business continuity can be affected by network connectivity failing, or a WAN link being congested or bottlenecked, which may limit business functions.

The foundation of business continuity are the policies, guidelines, standards, and procedures implemented by an organization. All system design, implementation, support, and maintenance must be based on this foundation in order to have any hope of achieving business continuity and disaster recovery, which is a critical element of business continuity.

PowerLink provides uninterrupted access to datacenters and remote locations, ensuring business continuity when disaster strikes or WAN infrastructure is compromised. PowerLink intelligently controls bandwidth throughput by managing multiple and diverse ISP links, and automatically applying failover techniques to avoid link failures and bottlenecks.
