From interconnecting data centres to speeding up performance of cloud-based applications to delivering real-time rich media content, the use of International Ethernet Private Line (IEPL) is ever increasing. Here are five compelling reasons why you should adopt it.

The explosion in the amount of data being produced and consumed across the world is putting unprecedented demands on the connectivity infrastructure of global carriers, enterprises and hyperscalers. This demand to access ever increasing amounts of data—often in real-time—is coming from multiple sources such as the need to speed up cloud-based applications, delivering rich media content, increased online collaboration, and real-time data backup to an offsite location for business continuity to name a few.

International Ethernet Private Line (IEPL) with its low latency, high-performance, secure, reliable connectivity is ideally suited to meet the connectivity needs of global carriers, enterprises and hyperscalers. Here are five compelling reasons why your business should adopt IEPL.

Speeding up Cloud-based Applications

Enterprise applications, be they mission critical applications like ERP, CRM and SCM or collaboration applications like email and video conferencing, or business applications like analytics and business intelligence are increasingly being hosted on public and private cloud infrastructures.

With the people accessing these applications—be they employees or partners—being located far from where the apps are hosted, these applications tend to suffer from latency and lag thus impacting user experience, application performance and employee productivity, which have a direct impact on the business. As a result, there is an urgent need to speed up these applications, which demands better and faster connectivity.

By using IEPL to connect your on-premise network where your employees are located with the cloud where your applications are hosted, you can significantly speed up application performance by eliminating latency and improving reliability.

Data Centre Interconnect

Businesses increasingly have two or more data centres to meet the needs of disaster recovery, business continuity, and regulatory and compliance requirements. This is because if by any chance the primary data centre site goes down, users can be routed to the backup or standby data centre, or the data replicated on to the secondary data centre can quickly be recovered and applications can be restarted within the defined outage window and without any data loss.

This, however, requires the organisations to have reliable, high-speed, low latency connectivity between the data centres. IEPL is the ideal choice for interconnecting the various data centres as it provides a reliable, scalable, low latency connectivity solution.

Delivering Rich Media Content

Buffering—be it while watching a streaming video or while on a video conference call—can be hugely frustrating.

Since rich media content and collaboration applications demand high amounts of bandwidth and are highly sensitive to latency, they need to be delivered from the core to the edge to the end users in real-time and without any drop in quality. Failure to do so would lead to poor user experience leading to a direct impact on the business, be it in the form of unproductive employees or frustrated customers.

By using IEPL to haul the traffic as close to the users as possible—be it to your on-premise network or from the core to the edge—you can cut down latency and reduce the strain on bandwidth at the user end, thus greatly improving application performance and user experience.

Real-time Backup

Real-time data backup to a secure off-site location, be it for disaster recovery and business continuity purposes or for regulatory and compliance reasons, is increasingly becoming a burden on the stretched IT resources of organisations. Establishing a secure and reliable connectivity between the on-premise network and the off-site backup facility is critical to ensure that this requirement is met.

IEPL provides a cost-effective, scalable, low latency solution to connect the primary network with the off-site backup facility, irrespective of whether the backup facility is a near site one or at a distant location. Since data can be transferred instantly and securely, IEPL is the ideal choice to meet this need and reduce the burden on the IT staff.

Dedicated Connectivity

A dedicated low latency, reliable, scalable connectivity is key to the smooth functioning of your network. It is the grease that ensures smooth delivery of critical applications and reliable and timely data transfer.

By using IEPL, businesses can avoid the bottlenecks and security breaches that plague the public Internet and other shared connectivity options. With IEPL, traffic that otherwise might have taken a convoluted route, via a patchwork of public networks, can now flow more efficiently to its desired destination over a dedicated low-latency connection.

On an IEPL connection, your data travels securely over a well-maintained private path, managed and monitored by a single service provider. That’s an experience that no other type of connectivity can deliver.

From interconnecting data centres to speeding up performance of cloud-based applications to delivering real-time rich media content and applications to orchestrating real-time data backups, IEPL is increasingly playing an important role in solving the critical connectivity needs of many organisations.
