In today’s world, internet connectivity is an integral part of business continuity and disaster recovery planning. As companies rely more on technology to conduct their operations, the risk of disruption due to an unexpected outage or disaster has increased. In this blog, we will discuss the importance of internet connectivity in disaster recovery and business continuity planning and the use of bonded internet technology for secure and high-speed connections.
Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery
Business continuity refers to an organization’s ability to maintain critical business functions during unforeseen disruptions, such as natural disasters, cyber-attacks, or power outages. On the other hand, disaster recovery focuses on restoring an organization’s critical IT infrastructure after a disaster or disruption.
A solid business continuity and disaster recovery plan is crucial for organizations of all sizes and industries. It ensures that essential functions and services can continue even in the face of unexpected events. A reliable and uninterrupted internet connection is critical to risk management in all business operations.
The cost of downtime can be significant, with businesses losing thousands to millions of revenue and potentially even losing customers. One good example of an internet connectivity disruption occurred in Jakarta, Indonesia, in 2019, when a fire at a primary data center caused widespread internet outages for several hours. The blackout affected banks, e-commerce sites, and other businesses, leading to significant losses and disruptions.
In this case, having a backup or redundant internet connection could have helped minimize the impact of these disruptions on businesses and organizations. It highlights the importance of having a well-executed business continuity and disaster recovery plan, including a secondary internet connection, to ensure uninterrupted operations in the face of unexpected events.
How LNS Bonded Internet Help in Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
In many areas, the region’s largest internet service provider (ISP) is the only option for most users, as they have the most coverage in the area. That means if the primary ISP experiences an outage or disruption, businesses in the area may have no redundancy but to depend on the sole ISP. This lack of redundancy leaves users vulnerable to disruptions caused by natural disasters, power outages, road construction, or other unforeseen events.
LNS offers a bonded internet solution that combines internet lines from different ISPs, including 4G LTE, to create a redundant internet connection. This redundancy means that if one internet connection goes down, the others will automatically kick in, ensuring that businesses enjoy the resiliency of their network infrastructure.
Neutral Carrier ISP
As a neutral carrier ISP, LNS is not affiliated with any particular ISP, which means we can offer businesses a wide range of options for internet connectivity. LNS works with multiple ISPs to ensure that companies can have access to the best internet connections available in their area. Carrier Neutral or Carrier Specific: Which to Choose?
Internet Security
In addition to providing redundancy, a neutral carrier ISP can offer enhanced security measures. By using multiple consumer-grade internet connections from different ISPs, LNS Next Gen bonded internet creates an unbreakable VPN for internet security. Even if one of the connections is compromised, the other internet connections will still function and be available to all users. This level of redundancy is particularly essential for businesses and organizations that rely heavily on the Internet for their operations and data management.
At LNS, we understand the importance of reliable and secure internet connectivity, particularly for essential services such as financial institutions, government agencies, and retail chains. Our bonded internet solution provides an instant failover capability in emergencies, ensuring that critical applications and data remain accessible at all times. We offer flexible solutions to reduce downtime and minimize the impact of any potential disaster or disruption on your operations.
