What is driving Business Continuity

Based on the various worldwide events that have occurred in the past four years, businesses have come to realize the importance of contingency planning as it relates to communication networks.

Organizations heavily depend on key business applications such customer relationship management (CRM), manufacturing resource planning (MRPII), and supply chain management (SCM) to name a few.

The importance of system and network availability has never been so critical to a company’s bottom line.

Every year accidents, and disasters impacting networks, cost business millions of dollars. Businesses are looking at ways to minimize risk and exposure at a cost effective price.

Contingency Services: Terminology

Business Continuity:• Company's ability to keep critical business processes functioning

despite temporary network disruptions or long-term outages. • "Seamless, “Always On,” High Availability, Automatic IP traffic

failover • Downtime is measured less than 1 minute

Disaster Recovery: • Those actions necessary to respond and restore network

connectivity and critical business functions following a catastrophic event due to natural or man-made activities.

• Downtime is measured in hours or days

Determine Level of Application Survivability

Organizations need to determine what level of application survivability is required, and what kind of solution would best be suited to address the specific departmental and organizational need. The results of the analysis will be used to identify the feasibility of selecting topologies that include:

Hot-standby backup network

Fault tolerant network

Combination of hot-standby backup and fault tolerant networks

Full Redundant Hot Standby

Two isolated networks that will each carry 100% of the total network load if the primary route experiences an outage.

Why Satellite

Lessons learned from 9/11 and Katrina were to increase secondary sites to 170 miles. Satellite offers maximum flexibility to support geographically distributed alternative locations within a broad satellite footprint or globally via the LS backbone.

More dynamic Rapid deployment and readily available Low cost no additional assets (facilities, last mile, etc.), costs and

depreciative value Highly scalable and flexible to meet your business growth

requirements and not simply the current state Service levels Can support mobile recovery centers With Satellite connection can be established before employees reach

alternative site “cold” or “warm” without the overhead of a “hot” site and within minutes not hours or days.

SkyReach Ensure: Target Customer Profile

SkyReach Ensure – Dedicated Offering: Customers having many sites in a very small geographical area (e.g.

Orlando City Corporation) Customers who wish to define their own sizing assumptions and

manage their own risk Customer who wish to leverage the network for more than just the

Business Continuity (i.e. multicast, network maintenance/ testing , demo/promotional events, etc.)

SkyReach - Volume Usage Offering: Customers with a small number of sites dispersed over a larger

geographical area Customers who rarely expect an outage, but want access when

needed.

Disaster Recovery

SkyReach Saver

Disaster Recovery: SkyReach Saver

Name: “SkyReach SAVER” (Satellite on VSAT for Emergency Recovery)

Service Definition: Fast response & restoration service with remote sites sized and CPE procured per current standard procedures. CPE is pre-positioned, may even be installed, but NOT commissioned. “Cold Backup” A “smart” CPE package is available with auto-acquisition to reduce set up

time, errors, or delays awaiting a GO at a time of crisis

Differs from BC: Reactive following a catastrophic outage. Customer site is activated upon

request by Customer to NOC. Recovery time is in hours not seconds. Lower monthly reservation fee ($100/site) and weekly usage rates

Where/When deployed? Hosted with SkyReach Ensure on Skynet’s Contingency Network based supporting Americas on IA7 by 6/27.
