Time Warner Cable Provides Customized Business Solutions for the Complex Needs of Today’s Businesses

By Anonymous

Companies today are faced with growing and varied business demands. Larger companies with multiple facilities need the assurance of a built-in network and infrastructure that will allow employees the freedom to work at satellite offices without the risk of slowing down business. For organizations with multiple branch offices or a large number of telecommuting employees, reliable, secure online Internet connectivity is critical. With 24/7 local support and cost-effective communications services, Time Warner works as a silent partner with businesses, providing innovative tools to help streamline operations on the back end, while providing the technical solutions to help businesses meet their customers’ and employees’ ever-changing needs.

Time Warner Cable’s unique network infrastructure delivers fiber- based Ethernet solutions that enable businesses to capitalize on the capabilities of the Internet and to design private networks. Time Warner Cable provides enterprise businesses Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), a highly scalable, fiber-based Internet access. Offering superior bandwidth granularity, businesses are able to buy only the amount of bandwidth required.

Our Metro Ethernet Solution provides businesses with poinf-to- point, and point-to-multi-point, connectivity between facilities using Time Warner Cable’s high-speed, high-capacity fiber network,” said Los Angeles Metropolitan Division President Jeffrey A. Hirsch. “We provide the most technologically advanced, best-clustered cable systems for service provisioning and faster implementation of teleworking programs. Employees will have the assurance that they can download and upload large data files easily and efficiently regardless of their location.”

DIA is complemented by a suite of features, including email, web hosting, Domain Name Service, Static Internet Protocol addressing and Border Gateway Protocol routing. DIA provides significantly more bandwidth for the money than legacy Time Domain Multiplexing-based Internet access services. Service can be combined with other fiber- based services (such as Point-to-Point and Metro Ethernet Service) over a common local fiber loop, providing significant savings to customers. Service is available in increments starting at 5 Mbps and up to 1 Gigabit.

“With our Dedicated Access, we can meet any type of bandwidth requirement that is necessary,” said Hirsch. “We also provide a dedicated fiber connection for businesses so that they don’t have to share the network. Additionally, our cost-per-Mbps is typically less than the solutions of traditional telecommunications companies.”

With widespread presence in the Los Angeles Regional footprint and advanced fiber products, Time Warner Cable can provide data networks that can reach even the most remote business locations. Time Warner Cable serves all levels of businesses – small, medium, and enterprise – and provides scalable fiber-based connections and secure service (hat can be customized based on need.

With increased pressures to remain competitive in the marketplace and provide cutting-edge services to customers, businesses must also consider the changing needs of their employees. As fuel costs continue to rise and traffic congestion increases, businesses are becoming more convinced that the pros of teleworking are increasingly outweighing the cons. Offering employees the flexibility to work away from the office or finding it a necessity due to multiple and widespread office locations is increasingly becoming more common. Many new business offerings can help businesses remain competitive and in control while, at the same time, support employees’ needs.

Time Warner Cable’s Business Services offers companies the tools and infrastructure to seamlessly run their businesses with fast broadband technology, which provides always-on connectivity, high- speed access, and fast transmissions. For a teleworker, it means that productivity will not be impacted with slowdowns in reconnection, transmission delays or phone charges common with dial- up services. For a business, it means peace of mind (hat employees will remain productive whether they are working in the office or miles away from a satellite office or home.

With teleworkers on staff, it is even more critical to ensure that businesses are secure and can ward off viruses, worms and spyware. These are real threats facing businesses today, and can an everlasting impact on productivity and profitability.
