Dedicated Access Services

Verizon Dedicated Access Services are high-performance, high-bandwidth internet connections that provide a business with a consistent and reliable internet connection, unlike shared internet plans. This dedicated, private network is not shared with other customers, ensuring higher speeds, consistent performance, and lower latency, which are backed by strict service-level agreements (SLAs). These services are often used by businesses for critical applications that cannot tolerate slowdowns or connectivity issues. 

Key Features and Benefits

• Guaranteed Bandwidth: Your business receives the full amount of bandwidth purchased at all times, which is not shared with other customers. This prevents slowdowns during peak usage hours caused by network congestion.

• Symmetrical Speeds: The service offers equal upload and download speeds, which is crucial for applications that require a high volume of data transfer in both directions, such as video conferencing, cloud backups, and hosted services.

• Stringent Service Level Agreements (SLAs): Performance metrics for uptime (often 100% network availability is guaranteed), latency, packet loss, and jitter are backed by a contract with guaranteed remedies (service credits) if these levels are not met.

• Enhanced Reliability and Security: The connection is delivered over private, dedicated circuits (often fiber-optic) to the customer's premises, bypassing public infrastructure and offering a more secure and stable environment. Additional security options like Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection can be integrated.

• Scalability and Management: Businesses can choose from a range of bandwidth options (from 1.5 Mbps up to 100 Gbps) and scale up or down as needed. Tools like the Dynamic Network Manager provide visibility and control over network traffic. 

Who Needs It?

Dedicated Internet Access is ideal for businesses that rely heavily on constant, high-performance connectivity for their daily operations. This includes: 

• Companies using cloud-based applications, SaaS platforms, and remote desktop environments.

• Organizations with multiple locations needing reliable inter-office connectivity.

• Businesses with high-resolution content or large file transfer needs, such as medical imaging or graphic design firms.

• Data centers and content providers.

• Businesses that use latency-sensitive applications like VoIP and video conferencing.
