In today’s fast-paced digital world, enterprises demand robust connectivity, transparency, and prompt updates on their network services. Any disruption or degradation in network service can lead to significant operational challenges and financial losses. However, changes in the availability and performance of network circuits are inevitable. Shockingly, an automated system is not used to communicate such vital information to the enterprises. Instead, email communication is the most prevalent method of communicating such critical information, and it often either does not go to the IT/network team or gets drowned in the deluge of other emails and is not actioned in time, causing business-impacting disruption.
Circuits, Circuits, Circuits
The number of network circuits that enterprises deal with has grown substantially. There are network connectivity circuits for Internet access. Many enterprises have one or, in many cases, two circuits for each of their branch locations. Often, these circuits are from multiple providers based on the location, especially if the enterprises have international locations. If the enterprise has an MPLS VPN and SD-WAN, there are circuits at each branch location for the VPNs. Additionally, enterprises may get an express circuit from Internet Exchange Provider for connectivity to major cloud services such as AWS, Azure, or GCP. For redundancy
