RampRate’s Telecommunication and Network insight has guided dozens of top IT organizations through the challenges of maintaining consistent uptime and reliable security by establishing resilient, multi-vendor backbones, and augmenting them with market-savvy spot purchases of commodity and premium IP transit. Our accomplishments in this area affect every stage of decision making:

• Review of your network services structure to identify single points of failure, disparities with market rates and service levels, and future extensibility issues.
• Building balanced strategies for peering, IP transit buys, MPLS, and private networks.
• Selecting proper architecture platforms with a view towards operational growth and efficiency.
• Selecting the right IT Supplier to optimize for a combination of cost, SLA, contract flexibility, geographical reach and other factors.
• Identifying opportunities for decreased spend, redundant capacity and routing, global expansion, build versus augmenting, and more.
• Accelerating procurement and deployment timeframes from months to weeks.

NETWORK – WAN / LAN, IP TRANSIT, PEERING

Understanding the transformation of data networks over the recent years can be overwhelming. As the definition of “major purchase” evolves from a T3 line to an STM-16 for RampRate customers, selecting the right network architecture for growth, while maintaining proper security and cost structure is a major challenge. Making the right decision on supplier, product, capacity requirements, security risk, disaster resiliency, and future augmentation is essential for all network decisions.
