Because email and messaging capabilities are so critical, they have in some respects become like a utility: like electricity, for example, email is so critical to the operation of any organization that it no longer provides any substantive competitive differentiation between companies. Like other utilities, then, the goal is to a) ensure that service remains available as close to 100% of the time as possible while b) simultaneously being provided as inexpensively as possible. For many organizations, managing email internally is a thing of the past, just like producing one's own electricity is a concept of the past. A growing number of organizations are finding that the way to accomplish this through the use of Microsoft Exchange as a hosted service, a model in which a remote third party provider manages all backend services for a flat monthly per user fee. The advantages of this approach for organizations that want to realize the benefits of Exchange are that uptime of the Exchange infrastructure can be very high and the cost of managing Exchange can be reduced significantly - typically more than 50% compared to on-premises management. Further, the use of a hosted Exchange service allows an in-house IT staff to be deployed to other projects that will provide more value to the organization as a whole. This white paper discusses the benefits of the hosted model for managing Exchange. It also lays out the detailed costs of managing a hosted versus an on-premise Exchange environment.

This presentation served as a basis for the November 2013 webinar featuring David Linthicum, cloud technology expert, and Sam Koetter, Sr. Product Manager, Ethernet Services, XO Communications. The speakers discussed the emerging patterns of multi-clouds and their applications within the enterprise. They also looked at the importance of the network in support of cloud services, and why selecting the right network infrastructure is as important as selecting the right cloud providers. Topics explored include: • The emerging use of multi-cloud solutions and the changing network requirements around this movement • How to define your network strategy with a cloud strategy in mind. A stepwise approach that most enterprises should follow • How to select a strategic network partner around your multi-cloud services. What you should look for to be successful the first time • How to create a master implementation plan and budget. A strategy to make sure both cloud and network resources will be there to support the core business. Find out -- from cloud industry insiders -- how to navigate the confluence of network and multi-cloud solutions. Find out more about XO's network solutions: http://bit.ly/1g6QYLr.

Application Performance Management: Intelligence for an Optimized WAN

Believing there are benefits to improved network and application performance is not enough for most organizations. The ability to quantify cost savings, improved productivity or reduced risks is a critical component in justifying an investment in application and network performance. Each organization will have different results and savings – some savings might be spread out evenly while others will be skewed to only one or two criteria. In this white paper, Fluke Networks, a leading provider of network and application performance management solutions, and XO Communications, a leading provider of telecommunications services for businesses, outline eight key areas where cost savings can be quantified by enhancing network and application performance management.

Multi-Protocol Label Switching Internet Protocol Virtual Private Network, or MPLS IP VPN, refers to a VPN service enabled over a trusted provider’s private MPLS core backbone. It delivers the flexibility of an IP service with the essential service quality, performance, and security previously available only with legacy technologies. Other benefits include cost-effective security, any-to-any connectivity, Quality of Service, scalable bandwidth, and a platform for convergence.

Savatar, a strategy and technology consulting firm, and XO Communications, a leading provider of telecommunications services for businesses, explain Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) from the perspective of small and medium- sized business (SMB) owners, specifically SMBs who are seriously considering moving to VoIP, but are unsure what approach is right for them. This paper presents key findings of a Savatar survey in which 500 SMB owners and decision makers were asked how they thought a VoIP system would compare to their current phone system in four areas: cost, system management, migration to a new system, and feature availability. Key benefits of VoIP for business include reliability and efficiency, cost savings, and convenience.

Enterprises and equipment vendors are learning the value of a complete readiness assessment before deploying voice over IP (VoIP) across an organization. The assessments are a critical step to a successful VoIP deployment, but many enterprises are hitting three common pitfalls with various assessment approaches. In this white paper, Fluke Networks, a leading provider of network and application performance management solutions, and XO Communications, a leading provider of telecommunications services for businesses, explain how to avoid the pitfalls of (1) following a snapshot approach, (2) believing synthetic VoIP calls are sufficient, and (3) focusing on the assessment only and ignoring post-deployment management. The paper also explains why readiness assessments are key for a successful VoIP deployment while also highlighting best practices to assist enterprises in successfully deploying VoIP.

This paper outlines five critical factors for successful migration to MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) Internet Protocol (IP) Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). Written for business executives and IT decision makers, the paper discusses the current status of MPLS IP VPN adoption for the medium-to-large business (5 to 50 locations), especially with regard to the evolving (and expanding) role of MPLS technology. The paper also identifies key questions you should ask before migrating from a legacy infrastructure to an MPLS-enabled IP VPN, discusses the benefits of migration, describes the types of companies that would benefit from MPLS IP VPNs, and suggests what a business should look for in an MPLS provider. The good news is that the early adopters of the technology have implemented MPLS with great success, particularly as it relates to network performance. The time has come for mass migration to the technology.

In enterprises today, Wide Area Networks (WANs) are no longer operating behind the scenes. WANs are central to the daily operations and core business of organizations large and small. However, enterprises must choose from a variety of ways to implement WANs. This eBook examines the various types of Wide Area Networks (WANs), and why IT departments gravitate towards specific WAN solutions. In addition, the paper provides constructive guidelines for organizations seeking Local Area to Wide Area Network extension.

Many white papers describe technically how MPLS works—down to the details of configuration across different Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) types but, before you take a deep dive into the inner workings of the technology, determine if migrating to MPLS is the best decision for your enterprise. Thoroughly investigate the key business reasons your enterprise might consider a private IP network, as well as the issues you must monitor and manage to make MPLS a success.

Written specifically for IT decision makers in medium to large-sized businesses, this white paper presents an overview of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) standard, its drivers, benefits, and barriers to implementation. The paper presents several business applications for SIP trunking and discusses the advantages of SIP as an enabler for Unified Communications. Because SIP has become the de facto industry standard for IP telephony development, the paper concludes that businesses and enterprises of all sizes will be well served if they consider SIP as part of their evolving network strategy.

The factors that lead to the disruption of business activities – disasters, as they are often called – fall into two general categories: natural disasters, which include uncontrolled flooding, fire, earthquakes, hurricanes, typhoons, mudslides, disease, lightning strikes, and biological infestations; and man-made disasters, which include disruptions brought on as the result of human error, strikes, intentional sabotage, burglary, theft, IT-related faults stemming from viruses, Trojan horses, worms, denial-of-service attacks, and other breaches of computer and network security; and increasingly, disruption brought about by terrorist acts.
