1. Youi Insurance
Allegro is the number one provider of Business Continuity connectivity in Queensland. This is because of our network advantage. Allegro has invested millions in building next generation fibre + wireless infrastructure, all IP, to the highest service levels. Allegro's network advantage means we can deliver back up connectivity to the major carriers, on completely independent networks.
"In early 2010, Youi Insurance approached Allegro to deliver a fully redundant solution for its existing data network. " said "As one of Australia's fastest growing and most innovative insurers, Youi understand the importance of being always on, and always open for business. Being based on the Sunshine Coast, Youi also understood the challenges of regional connectivity when mission critical applications are hosted in capital city cloud environments."
Allegro designed a fibre based solution on its Sunshine Coast fibre network, replicating Youi's primary data network, both WAN and IP Transit. Allegro were able to deliver a solution entirely independent of Telstra's network, providing a truly diverse solution with no single point of failure.
"As Allegro Networks understands better than anybody, technology is a major platform of our business." said "The arrival of the new high speed fibre service on the Sunshine Coast has removed our reliance on the traditional copper network, which was much more susceptible to failure resulting from weather elements. The new technology also gives us the flexibility to expand our bandwidth requirement speedily as the business-demand grows. Allegro can provide additional capacity virtually by flicking a switch, so we have scalability and responsiveness."
2. Virgin Blue
Allegro demonstrated to Queensland its disaster prevention credentials during the recent floods. Allegro's network was one of the few carrier networks that did not fail as a result of the floods. Allegro's customers experienced the reliability of a disaster proof solution.
"During the Brisbane floods, we had an urgent request from our partner iSeek, a national integrator, to install a high bit rate 50Mbps/50Mbps service to connect Virgin Blue's disaster recovery site to the iSeek data centre. Allegro stepped up to the challenge and delivered."
Allegro installed a leased spectrum microwave solution capable of 200Mbps/200Mbps over multiple hops in record time, providing iSeek and Virgin Blue with a carrier and media diverse solution to their incumbent provider, Telstra.
"We gave Allegro the order on a Thursday and the solution was installed and handed over on Monday." said "No other carrier could match that speed and service commitment. "
3. SkyReach
Allegro's network capability goes well beyond disaster prevention. Many large businesses are so impressed by the resiliency and reliability of the Allegro network, they use it for their primary connectivity at major sites.
"SkyReach is one of Australia's largest operators of elevated work platforms" said " SkyReach is based in Caboolture, a large regional centre north of Brisbane. We solved their immediate needs at their head office with high speed, highly available wireless connectivity and then proceeded with connecting their other offices. "
Allegro installed a multi-site WAN for SkyReach, connecting their offices across several regions.
"We rely heavily on our network provider to deliver a high speed, reliable and resilient service." " The old phone company told us we could not have high speed connectivity at our head office. Allegro proved them wrong. Every day since, Allegro has proved to be a reliable service provider and a committed partner. To be honest, I have not had that experience with a Telecommunications operator in Australia before, ever."
