On Thursday, March 14, a connectivity outage unfolded across the African continent, disrupting internet services and plunging thousands of enterprises into chaos. However, while many struggled with outages and connectivity issues, others remained unscathed, thanks to the high level of resilience in their networks.
Building Resilient Networks a Key to Business Continuity
Network resilience refers to the ability to maintain an acceptable level of service in the face of faults and challenges, such as cable breaks, hardware failures, or cyber-attacks.
It involves detecting, responding to, recovering from, and adapting to such challenges without downtime or functionality loss.
David Farquharson, founder, and CEO of iONLINE Connected Networks, emphasizes the critical role of network resilience in business growth and scalability. He likens a lack of resilience to trying to drive a car without fuel, highlighting its importance in ensuring continuous operations and mitigating risks.
