CONTRIBUTED CONTENT — In today’s technology-driven economy, many businesses are so heavily dependent on fast, reliable internet that every minute of downtime is costly. A backup internet connection allows workplaces to avoid the hassle of an outage and stay in touch with customers, vendors and the outside world.

The internet experts at InfoWest can help minimize downtime by configuring a backup connection that’s ready to go at a moment’s notice. This service is available whether you’re already an InfoWest subscriber or not – but if you aren’t, what are you waiting for? Local customer and technical support teams are available 24/7 to provide businesses with personalized assistance, ensuring that their needs are always met.

“Our No. 1 compliment that we receive from businesses is the quality of our customer service,” said Scott Laws, a business consultant for InfoWest. “We make sure you get exactly what you need.”

How a backup connection works

A backup isn’t intended to fully replace your primary connection, Laws said, and most subscribers opt for a plan that keeps only the most essential functions of their business online during an outage. While 100 or even 50 megabits per second might be enough for day-to-day operations in many cases, speeds of up to 2 gigabits per second are available for high-tech companies like medical offices and software firms. Prices range anywhere from $60 to $500 per month.

“You have to weigh the cost of a backup connection against money lost during downtime,” he added.

InfoWest keeps businesses connected with the most complete selection of fiber, wireless and dedicated microwave (FiberWave) options of any internet service provider in Southern Utah. Having access to three different networks maximizes uptime, Laws said, so subscribers can rest assured that they’ll be able to depend on InfoWest for both their primary and backup connections around the clock.

Five key reasons to invest in a backup

• Data protection. Backing up your internet connection provides an extra layer of protection against data loss in the event of an outage or cyberattack.
• Business continuity. Having a backup ensures that your business can stay up and running, even if one of your connections fails.
• Cost savings. A backup connection from InfoWest can help save money on internet costs by allowing you to switch to a more affordable provider when necessary.
• Increased network security. Having a backup connection can help protect your network from malicious attacks by providing an additional layer of security.
