Case Study: Broadview Networks achieves geo-redundant business continuity with SUSE

Broadview Networks - Customer Case Study

Broadview Networks, a U.S. communications provider offering the OfficeSuite Phone cloud VoIP service, needed to protect its hosted voice and data services from regional disasters and meet “five 9s” availability expectations. After Hurricane Sandy exposed the risk of a site-wide outage, the company turned to Suse and its high availability and geo-clustering technology to build a geographically redundant architecture.

Suse helped Broadview embed SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension, and Geo Clustering into its silhouette platform, enabling automated failover between distant sites and custom disaster-recovery controls. The result was 99.999% availability per site, stronger business continuity and data integrity, and a competitive edge that Broadview says helps win customers by letting it manage all parts of the service.
