Wide Area Network (WAN) Integration | |
WAN links can be quick, simple and easy to install. OR
they can be the nightmare that you always knew would come someday! Consider the UK site of
a multinational corporation. A backup ISDN connection was made on Friday evening to their
USA head office. The link should have dropped when the backup completed. Monday was a bank
holiday. Some bright spark in the USA started a network monitor of a device in the UK. As
the monitor poll period was less than the line 'no-data' time out period the link stayed
up. FOR 80 HOURS. Could your organisation
take an international phone bill of 80 hours without blinking? It would have been cheaper
to send the IT manager to the USA on Concorde. So what can we do for you?
