Wellington Fibre Diversity
Vital Access Fibre
Leverage Vital’s own Wellington fibre network in conjunction with Chorus to architect a solution for your clients that guarantees more resiliency and, as a result, more uptime.
Who is Vital Access for?
Adding diversity and resilience to your clients’ connectivity is “vital” (excuse the pun) when they have business critical apps in play, whether on-site or hosted in the cloud, they can’t afford to be offline.
Vital Access is delivered over Vital’s own fibre network, which makes it an excellent secondary connection to ensure your clients’ uptime.
Vital Access Service Types
Vital’s Fibre services largely mirror Chorus’ Bitstream 2 (BS2) products with Vital offering an Ultra Fast Broadband (UFB) and Hyperfibre equivalent under their “Vital Access” product range.
Entry level, best effort service with standard restore time
Includes Enterprise features such as multi-VLAN capability and enhanced SLAs but without the full committed bandwidth
100% Committed Information Rate (CIR). Looking at this option? We recommend Chorus Bitstream 4 or HPA
