Today, connectivity services are a mostly static
experience, meaning that once the endpoints and service attributes are
defined, not much changes. however, in this age of cloud networking and
content hosting static connectivity does not suffix the growing
communication needs of organizations.
The need is of a network that adapts and accomodate bandwidth capacities as and when needed.
In a normal situation, someone needs a
connection, they go through the process of signing contract and it
usually takes quite long time in service provisioning, to establish and
activate the bandwidth.
Bandwidth on Demand allows you to customize your connectivity
parameters, giving you control over your network usage like never
before. for example, you may request an increase in your bandwidth
capacity from 20 Mbps to 40 Mbps every week end, for few hours in order
to perform online data transfer or large-size data backup, etc. the
network delivers it and then, after that time period, your bandwidth
service goes back to contracted bandwidth as usual.
This service can be opted for planned/pre-scheduled events and also for sudden/unplanned needs.
Most importantly, Bandwidth on Demand accommodates the increasing demands of short duration bandwidth needs for events like online examinations, web casting-live video streaming of sports events, seminars, conferences, medical surgeries, weddings, spiritual gatherings/occasions, etc.
Depending on the feasibility of last mile connectivity, the key benefits here are that on demand services provides flexible bandwidth, locations, and connectivity times – three highly compelling and customizable factors that eliminates the need of static connectivity, long term contract thus saving cost and maintenance overheads.
