 Digital Transformation:

At FSBS, we envision a future where businesses can harness the power of digital innovation to do things better. Firmly believing that technology is an enabler, our ambition is to help businesses navigate the digital transformation journey. We help your business use technology in the best possible way allowing you to focus on your core business

Internet and connectivity:

All successful digital transformation journeys are underpinned by reliable and scalable connectivity. Whether that’s MPLS, SD-WAN or DIA, we ensure the foundation is in place to build your journey on top of this.

 MPLS

MPLS is a traditional networking technology that involves the creation of private, dedicated paths (circuits) through a service provider's network. It is known for its reliability, quality of service (QoS), and security.
Key characteristics of MPLS:

MPLS offers high reliability and low latency due to its dedicated paths, making it suitable for applications that require consistent performance.

MPLS inherently provides a level of security since traffic remains isolated within the network. It's less susceptible to external attacks.

MPLS allows for granular control over Quality of Service, ensuring that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and prioritization.

MPLS provides a private network environment, making it suitable for businesses with sensitive data or regulatory compliance requirements.

 SD-WAN

SD-WAN is a modern networking technology that leverages software- defined principles to dynamically manage and optimize network traffic across multiple connections, including MPLS, broadband, and more.
Here are some key characteristics of SD-WAN:

SD-WAN allows businesses to use multiple types of connections, including MPLS, broadband, and LTE, to create a hybrid network that optimizes performance and cost.

SD-WAN dynamically routes traffic based on real-time conditions, optimizing application performance and ensuring that critical applications get the required bandwidth.

SD-WAN provides a centralized management interface that simplifies network configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting.

By utilizing multiple connections, SD-WAN can reduce costs compared to traditional dedicated circuits like MPLS.

SD-WAN enables businesses to quickly adapt to changing network requirements and deploy new sites or services more rapidly.

 DIA

DIA is a direct connection to the internet provided by an Internet Service Provider (ISP). It offers a dedicated line for internet access, often with higher speeds and better performance guarantees compared to regular broadband.
Key characteristics of DIA:

DIA typically offers higher upload and download speeds compared to standard broadband connections.

DIA provides a dedicated connection to the internet, reducing the impact of network congestion and ensuring consistent performance.

DIA often offers symmetrical bandwidth, meaning the upload and download speeds are the same, which can be advantageous for businesses with data-intensive activities.

DIA is designed for business use and usually comes with service level agreements (SLAs) for uptime and performance.

 Hosting and Cloud:

Hosting and cloud services are integral components of modern IT infrastructure that allow businesses and individuals to store, manage, and access data, applications, and services remotely. Both hosting and cloud services offer various benefits, but they differ in terms of deployment, management, scalability, and flexibility. Both hosting and cloud services have their place, and the choice between them depends on factors such as the specific needs of the business, budget, technical expertise, and scalability requirements. Many businesses today are leveraging a combination of hosting and cloud services to create a well-rounded IT infrastructure that meets their needs efficiently.

 Hosting

Hosting refers to the practice of renting or leasing physical server space from a hosting provider to store websites, applications, and data.
There are several types of hosting services available:

Multiple websites share the same server resources, making it an affordable option for small websites or personal blogs.

Commonly referred to as private cloud, this is a single physical server is divided into multiple virtual private servers, each with its own dedicated resources and isolated environment.

Businesses lease an entire physical server, which provides greater control, customization, and performance, but comes at a higher cost.

The hosting provider handles server management tasks, including updates, security, and maintenance.

 Cloud Services

Public cloud services which include AWS, MSFT Azure and Google Public Cloud offer a wide range of computing resources, such as storage, processing power, networking, and software, delivered over the internet. These services are hosted on remote servers in data centers and are available on-demand.
Here are some common types of cloud services:
