Voice and video traffic prioritised with QoS

Companies relying on video and conference calls may want to consider looking at taking out a virtual private network (VPN) with QoS (Quality of Service) through Managed Comms.

A VPN within a company is generally faster than the wider internet and is obviously more secure. This is because it is free from outside intrusion so there is not a large virus or hacking threat.

Just because a VPN has been installed within a company, that doesn’t mean it can only be accessed on the business premises. It is possible to incorporate remote access, which is particularly useful if your company employs people working from home or if travelling to important meetings is a large part of the job. A VPN means employees can have access to company documents and files anywhere. Furthermore, with the QoS offered by Managed Comms, it is possible to use the high-quality Managed Comms connection for video and voice conferencing tasks.

Companies who turn to Managed Comms for their VPN needs can be assured of impressive quality and excellent service. The company is a Cisco partner and all of its technicians are fully Cisco certified.

Installing couldn’t be easier either – Managed Comms can have a VPN set up and running within 15 days, meaning you and your company could be barely a fortnight away from enjoying a high-quality internet service and a secured private network.

Managed Comms can keep your online infrastructure safe from collapse

For a small-to-medium sized business, security and stability is paramount. It’s important to know that your systems are safe and cannot be penetrated by an outside source, and that all data is not lost in the event of a physical disaster.

This is why a virtual private network (VPN) from Managed Comms is such a good idea. Due to the remote access options it gives companies, it is possible to save money in office costs by having employees work from home. In addition, a UK VPN makes it possible to keep harmful intrusions away from your data, as it does not operate over the general internet.

Carl Melvin, managing director of Affluent Financial Planning, was recently incapacitated with illness and had to rely on a VPN, just like the one provided by Managed Comms.

“We operate a VPN (virtual private network) which allowed our part-time administrator to work extra hours from home. This meant the workload could still be handled and the administrator was able to fit in the additional hours with minimum disruption to her usual routine,” he told Money Marketing.

He added that a VPN is a good idea for companies if they constantly need to be in touch with clients, claiming that it also helped the firm deal with an “unprecedented event”.

He concluded: “Our team made sure clients were kept abreast of the situation and everything was done that could be done to ensure they received an acceptable level of service.”
