ICUK launch 'easy to create' resilient connectivity design in portal update

ICUK are excited to announce version 19 of its control panel. Amongst a raft of improvements is a significant new feature to aid the quoting experience surrounding resilient and failover leased line circuits.

ICUK works with a total of 7 fibre, and 2 broadband carriers, each complement each other in one form of another. Combined with a growing number of ICUK POP locations, we are able to offer true resilience. We utilise multiple fibre providers to the client, as well as achieve physical resilience within ICUK's network, and redundant hardware on site. Our quoting tool allows you to see in seconds what resiliency options can be delivered taking into account fibre availability and the POP locations.

ICUK has carried across design concepts from their standard Internet access and point-to-point quoting, highlighting the cheapest options in green, and providing full break down of costs, down to a daily level, when customers select a specific quote.

Paul Barnett, Director, says "We have seen an increasing trend towards businesses not just taking up Ethernet, but actively pursuing resilient designs simply because downtime is just too costly to the business. Regardless of whether a budget can extend to a resilient Ethernet connection, or simply making use of available broadband technologies for failover, our quoting tool now presents all options."
