Right-Size Your Bandwidth

featurearticleLike it or not, the Internet of Things (IoT) is steaming quickly down the track to your organization. Remember how even Microsoft didn’t believe the Internet would “take off” in the early 1990s? IoT is like that. You might fight it or choose to ignore it, but change is inevitable.

You can already see it in some ways. Most employees use smartphones and a desktop computer. Add a tablet, a smartwatch, and even a smart car for every person and the devices can quickly add up. As companies embrace more technology, more mobility, and more data, it’s obvious that just throwing capacity at the problem isn’t a workable solution.

You can buy a big-pipe solution — and for some companies, that works. After all, as your business grows, your general need for more bandwidth may also grow.

But most organizations will eventually need to find the right balance of available bandwidth, prioritization, and added capacity in a framework that lets them maintain their budget without nasty surprises — like huge, unexpected charges in the expense columns of their balance sheets.

To ensure your organization is ready for IoT, tw telecom has developed a network that not only delivers capacity but also sophisticated features that put you in control of how you use the network. No matter how many devices (or which kind) your employees use, tw telecom’s Intelligent Network can help you manage continuous growth challenges and associated demands.

  • Dynamic Capacity — With this feature, you’ll only pay for what you need and use. Double or triple your network bandwidth automatically for pre-scheduled or unplanned events, without additional internal resources or downtime.
  • Dynamic Prioritization — Consistently make the best use of the capacity you have with this feature. It lets you shift support to your highest priority applications on-demand and dynamically across your entire IP VPN portfolio.
  • Alerts-Driven Dynamic Capacity — You can expand capacity instantly, when systems demand it, by setting thresholds.

tw telecom continues to develop cutting-edge solutions that ensure enterprises can compete, succeed, and grow. You’ll never worry about running out of capacity or see surprises on your bill.

The Internet of Things IS coming. But you can be ready.
