Every business has unique data communications requirements.
What’s consistent is the need to connect customers, locations, suppliers and markets in an easily managed, reliable, and cost-effective network that is designed around your business growth strategy and not around a set of products. More options mean more opportunities to custom-tailor the solution that’s right for your business – and KCCi gives them to you.
KCCi can bring the connectivity that’s right for your business and weave it into a comprehensive communications solution.
There are a number of reasons that businesses have elected to undertake colocation. On the growth side, companies face a massive proliferation of data, have widely-distributed and mobile workforces needing real time access to data, and are continually virtualizing servers, applications and data, demanding more from the network and requiring scalable bandwidth.
At the same time, companies must meet compliance and governance rules and ensure that business continuity is seamless in the event of a disaster or disruption. Also, building a datacenter is a pricey endeavor and a capital expense, whereas colocation is an operating expense that is often bundled with significant savings on bandwidth. Today, colocation is available at historic low prices, thanks to increased capacity and lower telecom and network costs.
Colocation can help small-to-medium sized businesses ($500m or less) that:
· Are moving to more complex it systems.
· Must meet compliance Regulations.
· Rely on information systems that must always be available.
· Have an online presence offer hosted saas applications.
· Deal with privacy issues. These companies have a duty to protect data, and in fact, must meet governance and compliance standards
· Are located in areas that are disaster-prone or have poor power stability or quality.
· Are positioning themselves for rapid growth and need flexibility and cost savings.
· For most enterprises, adding a collocated datacenter is significantly easier than creating a primary site from scratch.
· Outsourcing to a colocation provider (leaves) the facility-based services to those whose core business is building and running datacenters.
· 90% of companies that experience data loss go out of business within two years.
Colocation offers the following benefits:
· Ability for the customer to install their equipment in a secure facility that is environmentally conditioned for mission-critical servers.
· Eliminates the need for customers to build and maintain their own infrastructure, moving capital expenses to operating expenses
· Facilitates growth by enabling customers to pay for what they need and scale the services/bandwidth as their business demands.
· Allows access to high capacity, multi-threaded and redundant bandwidth, often at a discount meet governance and compliance standards.

Organizations can manage fixed-line voice, data and wireless expenses from a single cloud platform.
Advantage: KCCi offers a variety of SD-WAN offerings from multiple providers, along with expertise in choosing which service is right for a specific business and tailoring it to serve an organization’s needs.
SD-WAN opens the door to affordable intelligent networking: An optimized WAN that cuts costs while improving application performance. Companies can also reduce their reliance on expensive MPLS connections, replacing them with affordable broadband connections or even wireless; enterprises can “mix and match” the types of connectivity and the carriers that are delivering it, allowing for much greater flexibility. From there, partners can have a Layer 7 conversation with customers about performance-based routing; SD-WAN enables mission-critical services—like UC or key cloud services—to take priority over less important traffic, boosting quality, even over broadband.
Benefit: SD-WAN reduces MPLS reliance and provides software-controlled routing of WAN traffic, so businesses gain centralized visibility and management across locations. For cloud services, SD-WAN’s management capabilities allows performance management and QoS, even on broadband connections.
Uncover the right internet access options to support your mission-critical broadband needs, across a range of providers.
Advantage: Internet access for businesses is no longer just for surfing the web; broadband connections support mission-critical SaaS and cloud applications (such as unified communications as-a-service, or UCaaS), e-commerce and multichannel customer service efforts, collaboration tools to reach employees, partners and customers and more.
Increasingly, businesses are also deploying SD-WAN, which allows businesses to improve the reliability, performance and quality of service (QoS) for cloud-delivered applications and VoIP, across best-efforts internet connections.
Telecom Brokers offers a range of options for business internet access across the United States, with speeds up to 1Gbps. Depending on your applications needs, we can objectively consult on which providers can best support your business goals.
Benefit: KCCi is your trusted expert for high-quality domestic & international internet access—a critical piece of the communications puzzle for modern businesses as they make the transition to the cloud.
These dedicated, private connections are the gold standard for WAN implementations, offering unparalleled quality of service (QoS) and reliability for a range of applications.
Advantage: MPLS and private lines allow mission-critical IP traffic to run securely within a VPN environment, with the highest reliability for connecting enterprises’ complex and distributed networks of employees, customers and partners.
Advantages include stringent SLAs, and the ability to prioritize traffic to ensure consistent performance without compromising quality. Both MPLS and private line options include tools for tracking and predicting actual usage and performance down to the bandwidth and application levels.
KCCi offers a range of MPLS and private-line options, and can provide unbiased consultations on which options will best meet your specific business needs.
Benefit: Businesses needing iron-clad reliability for mission-critical data needs can implement MPLS and private line circuits to provide WAN connectivity.
Wireless Internet/Fixed Microwave connects your office to the internet using microwave technology, at speeds from 10 Megs to 1 Gig per second. Quick Installation as fast as 1 week.
Advantage: Whether you’re a medium-sized business or a larger enterprise organization, having a safe and reliable business internet connection is just as important as having a working phone system. To ensure peace of mind, KCCi offers Wireless Internet/Fixed Microwave for companies needing quick installation times, true path diversity or redundancy from primary connections. Fixed wireless internet is quick and easy to deploy, since it doesn’t rely on land line cabling, and provides a cost-effective connectivity alternative with dedicated bandwidth and a seamless Ethernet handoff.
Benefit: This is a cost-effective option as a primary internet connection, or for use as a redundant failover connection. We offer quick installation and scalability, with no buildout costs and contract terms as short as six months.
Provide primary connectivity in hard-to-reach locations, or redundant connectivity for disaster recovery throughout your footprint.
Advantage: Wireless internet service, which relies on fixed access points that connect businesses to the outside world via 4G or unlicensed spectrum, offers a connectivity option for rural and underserved locations that don’t have access to fiber or business-grade DSL connections. It’s also a great option for those businesses in office parks and multi-use complexes that haven’t yet been served by more traditional local providers; and is an inexpensive and indispensable tool to have in place for redundancy, to automatically keep businesses up and running in the event of an outage.
In the latter case, traffic is simply and seamlessly rerouted to a wireless failover circuit, with minimal interruption and no technical ability requirements from staff—a key feature. With so many critical applications and cloud services relying on an internet connection, companies can’t afford any downtime.
KCCi provides trusted advice on how to implement wireless connectivity as a standalone connection, as part of a broader mix of technologies across multiple locations, or as a redundancy tool.
Benefit: Businesses in underserved locations or needing redundancy can implement primary or backup internet access via a wireless connection.
Secure, private connections directly between two locations at speeds of 100 Meg, 1 Gig or 10 Gig Wave .
Advantage: Ideal for mission-critical, sensitive data applications, Ethernet Private Line (EPL) provides a high performance, cost-effective point-to-point virtual connection between a pair of dedicated nodes in two locations. These high-capacity links allow traffic to bypass the public internet, boosting security, and they serve as a modern alternative to traditional TDM private lines or older packet technologies like Frame Relay. Links are backed by SLAs, and this makes EPL perfect for latency-intolerant applications like voice, video and data center configurations, among other applications.
Benefit: Connect two locations together on your own private, completely secure Ethernet link, without paying for internet access or MPLS.
Almost all businesses now consider the Internet as an indispensable tool for their daily operations. A day without Internet connectivity, or even just slow connectivity, could translate to decreased productivity and profit loss. Your Internet connection options depend on what your business needs from its Internet Service Provider (ISP). Here are few things that can help in choosing best provider:
1. Bandwidth: Bandwidth is one of the key characteristics of any connection. The needed bandwidth depends on the nature and size of business operations. Ask yourself: how fast does the connection needs to be, and how many devices will be connected?
2. Ethernet over Copper/DSL (Digital Subscriber Line): Considering the fact that Ethernet over copper can be deployed via the conventional twisted telephone cables, it proves to be an extremely affordable technology. Most devices already have this kind of telephone wiring infrastructure and therefore a client really does not have to invest in additional cabling.
3. Cable: Cable Internet mainly relies on standard coaxial cable lines that were originally run to provide television service. Available and easily connected in most areas with a variety of speed options. Internet speeds can throttle because you'll share a connection with users in you area and most cable internet providers have data caps and will throttle your internet speed or charge additional fees when the max has been hit.
4. Fiber: For larger businesses, this option is better than DSL or cable as you almost always get equal download and upload bandwidth speeds. Although some fiber optic cables may have a higher initial cost than copper, the durability and reliability of fiber can make the total cost of ownership (TCO) lower. And, costs continue to decrease for fiber optic cables and related components as technology advances.
5. Security: No one can guarantee that you will be protected from spam, spyware, viral threats, and even data intrusions. However, the company you choose as your ISP should be committed to the highest possible level of security. Security Service Providers can managed endpoints and perimeters including workstations, servers and firewalls. They typically have inhouse security experts who monitor and respond to threats.
6. Accessible Support: When your Internet drops, you need reliable customer support to swiftly fix the issue. In most cases, solid customer support is worth the extra expense. Apart from fantastic customer care reviews, opt for a provider who offers 24/7 on-shore technical support.
7. Timely Troubleshooting Response: How quickly does the ISP respond to a reported outage or send their field service techs on-site if a failure occurs? Check for field response policies and make sure that they meet your business needs as well as possible worst-case scenarios.
8. Shorter Installation Timelines: Some ISPs can install quickly and to your convenience, and others might have you waiting for a while. Choose a service which works for you long-term but also is willing to accommodate you now.
9. Future-Oriented: These days, everything evolves so rapidly that you never know when a new Internet technology will surface. It pays to work with a provider who understands the need to be future-oriented.
10. Reliable Upload and Download Speeds: Does your enterprise require faster-than-normal upload and download speeds? Or do your operations require only the usual web browsing and mail setup? There is no point in paying extra for functionality you’re not using, so know your priorities.
11. Routing: At its core, the Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link billions of devices worldwide. An ISP connects your office network to the many interconnected computer networks that make up the Internet. The connection to every network in the world is known as a route. What your business cares about is being able to get to every network in the world you need to for your business to succeed.
Making the Right Decision: Knowledge is power. Knowing what you should look for in an Internet connection can spell the difference between profit and loss, between achieving optimum production and poor delivery times.

Businesses have an expanded set of options for operating in the cloud with RapidScale. They can choose to manage their cloud infrastructure themselves or opt for a managed cloud and have a provider like us shoulder the burden of day-to-day management. These options allow clients to decide just how involved they want the provider to be.
Both solutions certainly have their advantages, and it truly depends on the business to determine which is the best fit. You have to determine how much your company needs to use the services and how much flexibility vs. support you will ultimately need from the provider. This requires a familiarity with your own needs and goals. Let’s look further at the differences between managed and unmanaged cloud services.
Check out our Managed vs. Unmanaged Cloud infographic here.
