i-MO - Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery in a box!
With the recent underground fire in Holborn, London communications were affected to such an extent that many businesses were left without connectivity and could not operate effectively without an immediate solution. i-MO distributor 4Gon Solutions were able to supply an i-MO device to at least one company delivering super-fast connectivity and super-fast set-up allowing this large scale blaze to be merely inconvenient, rather than seriously debilitating to the business in question.
The much publicised underground electrical fire sparked chaos amongst businesses with 5,000 people having to be evacuated, 3,000 properties left without power, broadband services down and eight theatres had to cancel performances. Fire fighters struggled to contain the blaze for 36 hours before finally bringing it under control on Thursday 2nd April.
Such unpredictable events make clear the importance of disaster recovery and business continuity planning.
To help businesses with all aspects of business continuity and disaster recovery, we are pleased to provide a portfolio of solutions e.g.:
Connectivity Solutions

- Leased line services for very high bandwidth requirements.
