Business Continuity
Minimizing the Impact of
Outages on Your Operations

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
How long can your customer
afford to be down?

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.

Critical Application Recovery
 A fault tolerant network topology carry part of the total network
load at the same time. In event of outage the most critical
applications will continue to run.

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.
