Dedicated Internet Access is a private internet connection that isn’t shared with other customers. Could it benefit your business?
That’s why DIA is commonly used by businesses and organisations that need fast, reliable connectivity to run critical applications.
What is the difference between DIA and business broadband?
What are the benefits of DIA for businesses?
High speed
A dedicated line provides a consistent fixed bandwidth.
Unlike broadband, DIA’s guaranteed upload/download
bandwidth ensures a fast, low latency connection.
Reliability
The best DIA services have strict Service Level Agreements (SLAs),
giving you confidence in availability and performance.
In addition, you should expect your provider to be operating a resilient core network.
Scalability
Dedicated connections are usually highly scalable,
allowing you to easily boost or cut bandwidth to meet your changing needs.
A good DIA provider will allow you to increment bandwidth gradually as you grow.
Security
A key aspect of security is availability. As you don’t share bandwidth
with other customers, you have more certainty over
the availability of your internet access.
In addition, you can order diverse circuits for important sites
to protect your business from fibre breaks in the ‘last mile’ connectivity.
Support
Time is money, so a good DIA provider should constantly monitor your connection,
proactively fix issues they find, and provide 24/7 customer service.
They should also guarantee fault repair times to minimise
disruption to your service.
Overall, DIA gives you peace of mind, ensuring mission-critical applications run smoothly to optimise your organisation’s productivity and customer experience.
Who is DIA suitable for?
– Medium to large enterprises: Larger businesses rely on DIA to support critical operations across dispersed sites, including data sharing, collaboration tools and other cloud-based services.
– Data-intensive industries: DIA can provide the bandwidth and security crucial for sectors processing high volumes of data, such as data centres, manufacturing, health care and financial services.
– Government agencies: DIA can ensure reliable internet connectivity for local and national governments to deliver essential services.
– Education and research: Schools, colleges and universities use DIA to communicate among students and staff and share data between institutions.
– E-commerce: DIA can provide reliable internet connectivity for online retailers to run their websites, manage customer accounts, and process orders.
If you have multiple, geographically dispersed sites in an enterprise wide area network (WAN), DIA can be a cost-effective way to provide local internet connectivity.
In short, DIA can work well for any organisation that needs reliable, high-performance connectivity for daily operations. However, DIA costs more than traditional business broadband, so it won’t suit every business.
Is DIA worth it for your business?
Do you have more than ten people in your business? Do you rely on cloud services for critical operations? Are you in a data-intensive industry where a reliable, high-bandwidth internet connection is essential?
Do you need stringent SLAs to ensure maximum uptime? Are you looking for local internet connectivity to connect to an enterprise WAN?
If the answer to any of the above is ‘yes’, DIA is worth considering. The benefits and peace of mind DIA brings can more than outweigh the costs.
