As more and more companies adapt online systems interconnecting multiple branches to the main office, keeping the uptime of the servers and the Internet connections become a burden to the information technology or IT staff. Power failures and Internet service interruptions happen more frequently than we like and every time the main office connection or the servers are down, all branches could not transact.
Commonly misunderstood is the requirement at the main office which is a large upload bandwidth rather than download. The reason for this is that the main office is accessed by the branch offices and therefore is sending data. Sending data for multiple branches require a large upload bandwidth. Internet service normally have a small upload bandwidth compared to the download bandwidth usually at the ratio between 1:10 to 2.5:10. This is not sufficient if the main office is supporting many branches.
Large upload bandwidth is normally available only via leased line subscriptions which are quite expensive, starting from around Php16,000 for a 2MB subscription. Leased line subscriptions have 1:1 ratio of upload and download bandwidth. Also, the bandwidth is guaranteed. But again, this is very expensive.
A relatively new solution is to use cloud servers. Cloud servers are hardware agnostic and can be subscribed in small increments, usually based on RAM size and storage capacity. Data centers can deploy cloud servers in a few minutes and the servers may be resized as needed. Using a cloud server eliminates the need to maintain servers locally and subscribe to expensive leased line subscriptions.
Data centers offering cloud server subscriptions have redundant power systems and multiple load balancing tier 1 Internet connections. Cloud servers used by Auza.Net guarantee 100% network uptime, have two power utilities supplying electricity and have its own generators. Now brownout is not an issue anymore. Your server is up even if there is a whole day power interruption at the main office.
Internet connections no longer require high upload bandwidth since all branches and the main office will access the cloud server. Interruption of service at the main office will not affect the branches.
Now all you will need is a system administrator who will make sure your cloud server is running as it should be. To know more about cloud servers and how it can solve your server requirements, contact Auza.Net via email at info@auza.net.
