Though Broadband is a boon for organizations but for today's IT managers,
managing the broadband network is a daunting task. Particularly so when IT
managers are faced with the problem of cost cutting, and delivering ever
changing communication services and applications with greater bandwidth to large
number of sites-and that too using lesser investment.
A traditional network can be divided into two distinct parts-core backbone of
the network and access. While the core backbone has been dominated by leased
circuits in the past, VPN networks have successfully replaced it in the recent
past. The core backbone of a network typically connects all the main sites of an
organization including its data center, main offices, factories, etc. The access
portion of the network has been traditionally served by leased circuits and
wireless networks including satellite. With the rapid growth of broadband using
both wire-line and wireless media, access networks have got a major boost.
Today, a combination of DSL and satellite media has made the access portion of a
network very reliable, cost-effective, and scalable.
Hughes, ViaSat, and ViTAL Network Services in the US, and CCS Leads and
Managed Communications in the UK are a few players providing this kind of
service. Finding a right business opportunity in this space, Hughes
Communications India announced the launch of its managed broadband services in
Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore in August 2007. Hughes has combined satellite and
DSL access into a managed broadband service offering for enterprises. The
service uses DSL technology effectively to bring value to organizations widely
spread across India.
