Five-nines – 99.999% availability—has been the gold standard for network reliability since the days of the telephone monopoly. So how reliable can you expect your UCaaS, CCaaS, or other cloud-based communications system to be—and how reliable do you need it to be? This session will take a look at service availability and reliability circa 2023—what you can expect from different types of services and service providers; how the reliability metrics of the big cloud platforms (AWS, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure) impact services provisioned off those clouds; and what you need to do in order to ensure your cloud communications services meet your enterprise's reliability needs. A leading consultant will help you understand SLAs, redundancy, and other factors that combine to create your enterprise’s overall availability picture. You’ll come away with a better understanding of what you need to do (and spend) to get the availability you require.

Takeaways:

  • What level of availability is generally offered in Service Level Agreements for UCaaS, CCaaS, collaborative meeting services, and other communications services that may be critical to your business?
  • How deeply do you need to understand the underlying architecture of your UCaaS, CCaaS, or other communications service before you can be satisfied with the provider's availability claims?
  • How should you provision redundancy into your system? What elements need to be redundant?
  • What is the right way to think about incurring additional cost in exchange for higher availability?
