Stop Network Outages with FailSafe by Ground Control

Stop Network Outages with FailSafe by Ground Control

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., Dec. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Businesses that suffer from constant network outages from their Internet provider may want to consider a cost-effective solution from Ground Control that allows a network to always stay connected to the Internet by instantly switching to high-speed satellite when a terrestrial provider fails ... saving many Network Administrators ears from aching while their organizations moan from the loss of productivity and revenue.

Satellite Internet services have traditionally been expensive, but Ground Control, a leader in Business Class Satellite Broadband Services in North America, is now offering high-speed connectivity at one low fixed monthly price. How fast? 1500Kbps down and 500Kbps up for a price less than terrestrial providers currently offer.

How does FailSafe work? After installation of a satellite dish at the network facility, a FailSafe box is placed between a network feed and the network firewall/server/router. If the FailSafe box senses a network outage, it will instantly and transparently switch the network to the high-speed satellite Internet feed ... and switch back to normal traffic when the provider comes back online. From the viewpoint of those using the network, nothing has occurred. High-speed connectivity is maintained. FailSafe requires no adjustments to the existing network architecture and it allows up to 44Mbit/sec passthrough speed for the terrestrial feed.

"The fact that a Network Administrator no longer needs operate in crisis mode when the Network goes down is one of the most appealing aspects of FailSafe," states Tony Coles, CEO of Ground Control. "Obviously this new technology allows Ground Control to keep companies transacting business despite a debilitating network failure, contributing significantly to their bottom line over time."
