When your plants are connected to the server by any kind of VPN, you are fully dependant on that server for your day to day work.

This is imperative anyway. ( to prevent duplication of data )

So, what to do ? Let us see a case study,

Connectivity between Noida Plant and Greater Noida Plant of an Automobile part manufacturer.

• RF connectivity already in place.
• Functionality is already in place.
• Query of CEO was : How to make it sure ? and how to see that there is never a “down-time”.
• Finsys reply was : This is a management decision. If the management feels that the failure is to be avoided , then it must invest to provide for a “redundancy”. The various methods of redundancy are :

1. VPN on a high quality internet
2. Leased line from BSNL
3. Leased line from Airtel
4. Tulip connectivity
5. Additional / alternate RF Tower
6. Other solutions are also possible.

What next on this point ?

• Each company must decide on this itself and take an action urgently.
• This is a good suggestion and must be implemented.
