Modern entrepreneurs invest in solid and reliable technology, strong connection, and personalized service in order to grow and make business profitable. It takes a lot of work, time, and patience to build connection but with the right partners, your company's goal can be achieved at projected time.

For 140 years, Eastern Communications has helped corporate, government, institutional, and small and medium-sized enterprise sectors in the Philippines develop and provides internet, data, and voice connectivity solutions.

As they celebrate this milestone, Eastern Communications launches new products for the modern workplace. The company unveiled a suite of products designed to answer the connectivity needs of the modern Filipino workplace. These includes:

• Global Data
• DDOS Protection
• Microsoft Azure and Office 365 
• Managed SD-WAN (Wide Area Network) services.

High Speed Global Data Services

Eastern Communications has added EIPL (Ethernet International Private Line) and Global MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) to its data portfolio. Their EIPL and Global MPLS services provide high speed, point-to-point, and point to multipoint service that transmits simultaneous two-way traffic between customer locations in the Philippines and across the world.

This High Speed Global Data Services is best for businesses in industries with overseas branches and offices such as banking and finance, manufacturing, transport and distribution, ICT and business process outsourcing companies.

Through partnerships with global carriers, Eastern Communications is able to provide global business connectivity with reliable and scalable high bandwidth speeds starting at 1Mbps or higher. They can also commit to industry standard service levels with guaranteed network availability based on service level agreements between Eastern and global carriers.

Managed Software Defined-Wide Area Networks

The use of a Hybrid WAN will improve routing of bandwidth and the optimization of network transport services. It means more bandwidth availability for business-critical apps for better performance.

This service also delivers other benefits such as improved netork visibility and control, security, and better network planning and operations as companies can control the entire network through a single interface and enforce policies with ease based on business requirements.

Managed WiFi Mesh

Eastern Communications can also provide even our households and small businesses to have a strong internet connection across the entire house or office with the Managed WiFi Mesh.

It's even easy to set-up without the hassle of cabling. Eastern Communications’ WiFi Mesh creates a whole new WiFi network, different from your current router’s WiFi that provides rich interconnection beyond concrete walls and multi-stories. Most importantly, there will be zero dead spot as the WiFi Mesh completely covers the customer premise.

Better Cybersecurity through DDOS Protection

DDoS attacks or Distributed Denial of Service attacks are one of the fastest growing threats in the cyber-attack landscape. A Denial of Service attack is when a server is deliberately targeted with very large numbers of requests, in order to block or crash the server. DDoS attacks are even more difficult to protect from as it aims to make online services unavailable through overwhelming traffic from multiple sources

Eastern Communications offers the solution to this challenge by offering businesses protection that encompasses different DDOS attacks helping to prevent costly downtime for websites and applications. They have partnered with markets leaders in security to offer a comprehensive approach to DDoS mitigation.

Through Eastern Communications’ Anti-DDOS solution, companies can be protected from Volumetric Attacks which uses a massive amount of traffic saturating the bandwidth of the target, Protocol Attacks which consume all the processing capacity of the attacked-target or intermediate critical resources like a firewall causing service disruption, Application Layer Attacks which establish a connection with the target and then exhaust the server resources by monopolizing processes and transactions, and more.

Cloud Services

Cloud adoption continues to rise globally and Eastern Communications is here to help Filipino companies reap the benefits of cloud services as it offers Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines and Office 365.

Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines or VM is a comprehensive set of cloud services that developers and IT professionals use to build, deploy, and manage applications through Microsoft’s global network of data centers.

Azure offers the ability to instantly provision computing resources on demand. Compared to the task of planning and building an on-site data center, along with the requisite hardware upgrades, maintenance costs, server cooling requirements, electricity costs, and use of floorspace—particularly for offices with associated real estate costs - using Azure can lead to significant savings for a company

Meanwhile, Office 365 is a subscription plan that include access to Office applications plus other cloud-based productivity services, making work accessible anywhere at anytime.

These services are all in line with Eastern Communications commitment to providing strong connections to its customers as it celebrates its 140th year. For more information about Eastern Communications products and services, visit www.eastern.com.ph.
