IceWEB, Inc. (OTCBB:IWEB) today announced that it has extended a
revolutionary diverse private network capability to three Iconic
multi-tenant buildings in the Kansas City metropolitan area. These new
services will deliver bandwidth connectivity via fiber and high capacity
microwave from up to 27 different carriers, fed from our Network Access
Points (NAP) Meet-Me-Rooms, and more importantly, via diverse points of
entry to the buildings.
“Everyone is going to the cloud, be it public or private, and the
responsible business practice is to have an utterly reliable network
backed up by redundancy at the data center, switching, routing and
infrastructure level. We have that,” said Rob Howe, IceWEB CEO.
“The reality is that disasters happen, infrastructure fails, and the
world doesn’t want to wait while your business figures out how to
recover from the crisis. All too often, fiber providers enter large
multi-tenant buildings via the same trenches to the same demarcation
points, and these are often in the same place. Having redundant fiber
providers does not assure a business of true redundancy in floods, fiber
cuts and prolonged power failures. IceWEB’s subsidiary Computers and
Tele Comm’s (CTC) independent network comes wirelessly to the roof of
these buildings KC NAP, LLC utilizes almost any carriers’ fiber as
well as our own to feed up from the ground. These two delivery
modes can be set up to switch on the fly in minutes, to keep these and
other buildings’ services going,” Howe concluded.
According to IceWEB Chief Technologist Graeme Gibson, “All carriers try
for reliability uptime in their core of 99.999%
or 5.26 minutes down a year, and many achieve it in their core. The
problem comes in the last mile, where for many buildings no contingency
plan was ever given to having redundant paths where disasters or human
error can take a 5 minute outage figure to 8.76 hours.”
“Less than a month after announcing our Virtual
Meet-Me-RoomTM (VMMR) technology, on which this is based,
we selected three famous metro area buildings as our first production
targets. In all three buildings not only is redundant Internet service
now available, the ability to combine up to ten carriers or private
pipes on two physical layers of Ethernet and deliver that through the
ground or the air via different paths is available as well. This
deployment of our VMMR technology provides an enhanced value that is
measurable to these buildings and others like them.”
