A telecom broker is always a good service to use for something so important as your business’ efficiency and bottom line. They can help a business make a smooth transition to using cloud services. Here are some tips about utilizing cloud technology:
- Assess the demands cloud technology will place on your current network. For bandwidth concerns it may be wise to contact a Telecom Agent or your provider.
- Realize that cloud is only as secure and reliable as its connection.
- For your network’s ability to handle cloud services, you must know your network’s scalability, reliability, redundancy and quality of service (Qos).
- Consider ethernet or MPLS- it can lower costs.
- What is your plan with using Cloud based services? Applications?
- Make an existing overview of how many employees, how much use/transactions, determine busy points of usage. Calculate bytes usage based on this info and determine bandwidth usage.
- There will be a lot of estimating and guesswork, but a Telecom agent can significantly reduce chances for errors.
