Key benefits of earthwave SIG include:
- On average earthwave SIG provides a saving of 55% against you building and operating an in-house solution and this assumes a 8x5 service only and not the 24/7 service delivered by the Clean pipes solution.
- earthwave SIG provides 24/7 operations and monitoring together with process excellence.
- earthwave SIG provides access to experts and far better security than organisations could replicate in-house. With the use of tier-1 technology together with IPS, DDoS and multiple levels of firewall protection earthwave SIG provides defence grade protection that provides a piece of mind to business managers.
- earthwave SIG allows you and the rest of your team to focus on more strategic initiatives like setting policy and managing SLAs as opposed to building and operating Internet gateway’s that is noncore to your business.
- earthwave SIG allows for predictable budgeting and cost management over 3 or 5 year options.
- earthwave SIG provides reduced fixed costs (OpEx) and upfront costs (CapEx).
- Finally the government certified earthwave SIG solution provides regulatory compliance to government standards and allows you the freedom to focus on core business.
