Do you know how Guests are using bandwidth or do you simply purchase more if Guests are complaining that their connection to the Internet is too slow?
One Guest running one bandwidth intensive application (BitTorrent, Kazaa. Gnutella or even a Hulu HD stream) can use quite a bit or all the bandwidth you have, creating a slow HSIA experience for all other Guests. Additionally, XRoads metrics reporting can tell you what applications, users and urls are consuming the most bandwidth.
Do you know when a wireless access point goes down or do you wait for the Guest to call to tell you about the problem?
Monitoring and Alerting features in XRoads will alert you by email or sms if a device on the network is down.
What happens if one of the internet connections fails in your hotel? Do you have a backup plan?
XRoads allows you to connect your main connection (typically a T-1) and multiple additional cost effective internet connections such as DSL or Cable. If any one connection fails, XRoads ensures that your Guest can still connect to the internet over the DSL or Cable circuit.
Do you know that you can utilize low cost Internet links such as DSL /SDSL and Cable to increase your bandwidth download speeds?
XRoads bandwidth link aggregation technology allows you bond multiple Internet links for web based traffic. For example, you may have a T-1 (1.5) and add a 3mb SDSL circuit, you download speeds would increase to 4.5mb or more for web-based traffic, very significant Guest and Administrative enhancement at a very low cost.
And what happens when you are ready to take advantage of hosted applications (such as PMS, POS, VOIP) in order to reduce capital costs and speed system and application deployments?
Will you be able to guarantee Quality of Service and VPN security for these hosted services?
Enter XRoads Networks Wan Appliance. XRoads addresses these business issues by helping your organization create a better HSIA experience for your Guest and give your Hotel or Enterprise full control to run your hosted applications in a secure99.999% uptime environment.
All of this at a price point that makes it easy to justify.
