Commented Keith Pritchard, CTO of SMS:
“Security and resilience have always been at the heart of our network design. The extensive deployment of CISCO ASA technology throughout our network has further enhanced our network security whilst bringing a new level of automatic ‘no impact’ self-healing network capability to our core infrastructure.”
Pritchard added:
“The ability for key components of our network to be able to failover to other units automatically and without any loss of service is key to being able to offer industry leading levels of service and reliability.”

This in turn allows SMS to offer tailored solutions to customers who want to maintain their own on-site Active Directory servers but still take advantage of the latest Hosted Exchange 2010, Sharepoint and CRM solutions.”
