Backup/Redundancy
Submitted by justinpa on Tue, 2009/10/20 - 13:49Hi there,
What redundancy or backup is there if Seacom fails now. Is there a restoration path or how do you plan to carry traffic if there is an undersea cable break.
I have a feeling that the restoration path is via SAFE? - I just dont like safe as the 350 - 400ms latency will cripple our business.
Im quite happy to look into solutions whereby SAT3 is the restoration route.
Maybe im all confused - what is the backup here.

The answers to your queries can be found in the "Internet for Africa" forum discussion. A restoration path is currently not possible for SEACOM’s current network which connects from SA through Mozambique, Tanzania, and Kenya and onward to Europe and India, as we are currently the only live cable servicing all countries along this route. Backup/restoration would certainly be possible if other cables were in place.
