In today's world, information is the most valuable and important resource. It includes information about our business, contact information for partners, software and more. It is quite understandable that many business owners make significant investments in order to ensure the safety of information and protect against unauthorized access.

With the development of technologies, today there are many options for data protection on the market: use of a firewall, protection against DDoS attacks, URL filtering, and one of them is dark fiber. Let's first figure out what this term means and how it differs from fiber.

Dark fiber is a fiber that, when laid, does not connect to active equipment from the side of the telecom operator. In the case of using "dark fiber", data is not transmitted using a light pulse and it is because of this that the fibers are called "dark".

GigaTrans offers a dark fiber rental service for various solutions for your business. What is the advantage of this solution, we will consider further.

1.High level of data protection
Renting dark fiber is the best solution against unauthorized data interception. There are no tags on "dark fiber", which makes it difficult to figure out which fiber is being used. In case of fixing the fact of unauthorized access, the intervention is promptly eliminated by a group of specialists, because professional technical support is provided 24 hours a day.

2.Maximum width of the data transmission channel
One of the most important advantages of dark fiber is its unlimited speed (up to 100 Gbps). This service allows you to set an individual data exchange rate depending on the client's needs.

3.Lack of dependence between the board and the bandwidth
In the case of renting dark fiber, the client pays a fixed monthly fee for the services provided, while the change in the Internet speed is not regulated by the operator.

4.Protection against interruptions on L2 channels
We have already mentioned above that in the process of laying dark optics there is no connection to active equipment from the telecom operator. Proceeding from this, the following advantage emerges - the absence of dependence of the channel operation on interruptions in the power supply system.

5.An excellent alternative to building your own communication channels
For many clients, the main priorities in the process of establishing a communication channel are quality and affordability. Choosing a dark optics rental service is an excellent alternative for companies that do not have their own data transmission channels. After all, self-laying of the canal is not only a laborious procedure, but also expensive.
