They must also work with users to determine their network and application usage patterns. Network managers must address all these issues to provide the appropriate type of access to the appropriate resources at the most advantageous price point. XO Network recognizes the difficulty in analyzing remote access options and has tailored its Remote Access offering to minimize the confusion. The Remote Access offering provides local number access from over 4,000 cities in the US, virtually ensuring that employees and partners can securely access the network via a local call. In the rare instance that employees travel to an area not covered by XO's local access POPs, they will still be able to reach the network via nationwide toll-free access.
Many employees visit customers and attend trade shows and events in countries around the globe.
They work with international customers, suppliers and partners, any of whom may need access to the network. Inc. This partnership extends XO's Remote Access offering to over 78 countries around the world. XO's unique combination of extensive domestic local access, nationwide toll-free access and global coverage through the GRIC alliance, virtually guarantees that remote users will always be an inexpensive phone call away from the enterprise network. Although XO cannot extend its performance guarantees across other providers' networks, users can use this alternate access mechanism where it makes sense. For example, a manufacturing firm would like its global distribution partners to have access to their order entry system but would like their partners to be responsible for their own access fees.
