CMC Networks launches international Business Continuity solution
CMC Networks , a global Tier 1 service provider , has launched its international Business Continuity solution to mitigate risks during South Africa ’ s energy crisis . The solution enables businesses in South Africa and across the world to maintain their operations and optimise applications and services , even during extended power outages .
South Africa regularly experiences severe electricity blackouts due to ageing coal power plants . This loadshedding is estimated to cost the economy US $ 51 million a day according to the country ’ s central bank estimates . CMC Networks ’ Business Continuity solution combines satellite technology , software-defined wide-area networking ( SD-WAN ) and customised cross-border and data centre connectivity options to keep businesses functioning during extended power cuts .
“ The energy crisis is no doubt causing concerns for all kinds of businesses in South Africa , but we want to take this stress away ,” said Marisa Trisolino , CEO at CMC Networks . “ Both local and global businesses can rely on us to closely monitor their network and ensure uptime , even during unforeseen events . We ’ re helping businesses to maintain revenues , reputation and trust from their customers , instead of shutting down during a crisis .”
CMC Networks collaborates with businesses to create strategies for Business Continuity that bypass the need to rely on local Internet connections , providing visibility and control even in the most challenging and extreme conditions . The solution is not limited to South Africa but can be applied on a global scale to overcome different energy crises .
“ The team at CMC Networks understands a customer ’ s operational environment , risk profiles and unique demands , then develops bespoke solutions to ensure Business Continuity ,” added Geoff Dornan , CTO at CMC Networks . “ We have local and global digital infrastructure and a proven track record of enabling Digital Transformation wherever our customers operate . We ’ re committed to taking the technical and operational stresses away from our customers , so that they can focus on their core business instead .”
CMC Networks has local infrastructure in South Africa located in diverse data centres , as well as international capacity across all subsea cable systems circling the continent . CMC ’ s support team is fully equipped to support the CMC Network Operations Centre and technical functionality from multiple global locations , ensuring seamless , transparent and ongoing support even during crises . �
