Developing a data communications strategy

Any data communications proposal can look good on paper until you dissect it by evaluating its reliability, expandability, and complexity.

Whether your organization has two sites or two hundred sites, figuring out how to manage the data communications between those sites can be a real challenge. With a vast array of options, it’s often hard to determine what’s best for your organization. Here are three key evaluation criteria you can use to make the right decisions for your connectivity.

Reliability

In most cases the reliability of the network is a critical component to how useful it is. Even in organizations where the ability to communicate between sites isn’t core to the business because there are no central databases to be accessed and no real-time need to share information, loss of connectivity is still very disruptive.

Reliability is measured by the frequency, the duration, and the completeness of outages.
