Back-up Internet Connections
About the Service
Our Back-up Internet Connection service provides continuity in the event of a failure of your main internet connection. A variety of different bandwidth options are available including our Superfast Broadband for Schools, Ultrafast Broadband for Schools, radio or fibre connections.
Each provides a second connection as a back-up to your school's main broadband connection. This service is similar to our broadband services and is offered as a managed service with full support.
Many of the services schools use on a daily basis are moving to cloud and online solutions. A back-up internet connection provides peace of mind and ensures access to the internet and online resources is not disrupted in the event of a failure to the schools primary internet connection.
What are the benefits?
- Reduction in potential downtime if the school's main internet connection fails.
- Increased availability of your school's critical systems that use the internet.
- Options to add increasing levels of resilience and reductions to potential single point of failure, subject to budget available.
