“When it turns out we need to expand our capacity again, we can increase the throughput speed even further, up to a maximum of 100 gigabits.”

Customized education can be provided using digital learning resources. In this blog you can read how you can adjust your IT infrastructure accordingly.

Data available at multiple locations? Create your own network! How, you can read in our blog about IP-VPN versus Dark Fiber and other methods.

Your organisation GDPR proof? With the help of Dark Fiber and encryption on fiber optic level you minimize security risks! Want to know more? Read our blog!

Are you working with sensitive data? Make your Dark Fiber connection even more secure with encryption. In this blog we will explain what it means.

‘Relined has been working with Art Of Automation since 2013 but for many in our company, Relined has been a reliable partner for even longer than that. For instance, I got to know Relined via my previous employer. Our partnership is a flexible and enjoyable one. All the people there who we have come into contact with know all the ins and outs of our ‘case’, show a sincere interest in our needs and can also make a valuable contribution to our success. What’s more, Relined does not operate in a way that could compromise our competitive position in any way. This makes our collaboration an even more pleasant one!’

“Every month, more than 11,000 requests for lab work are submitted fully automatically; completely error-free and extremely fast. Thanks in part to Relined’s connections, we are making healthcare more efficient here.”

We are producing and generating more and more data. This data not only needs to be stored somewhere - it also needs to be easily and, above all, readily available. Facts and figures about data and connectivity.

Dark Fiber is literally a lightless fibre optic connection. Without the activating equipment that is needed to send and receive data, the fibre optic cable remains dark. So you could say that Dark Fiber is just a cable lying under the surface. Not very exciting, right? In fact, the opposite is true! In this blog you read why.

“Relined is an important and well-established player in the Dutch data communication sector. Our collaboration focuses on the use and management of our fibre-optic network and ducts. Resulting in good value for money and reliable connections.”

No one can ignore the fact that the amount of data is growing hugely. The causes are also obvious to most people. We have listed them below. This exponential data growth can be attributed to five main causes.

Connectivity is the backbone of all modern organisations. This is because data and applications are located off-premises increasingly often; i.e. outside an organisation’s own office or production environment.

Businesses, institutions and government organisations rely heavily on IT. However, IT encompasses much more than the hardware and software, which are the focus of attention in most cases. Connectivity is often neglected, even though it is the true backbone of every modern organisation.

In the Netherlands, businesses, institutions and government organisations are expected to be able to demonstrate that they handle personal data in a responsible manner. Operational data, e.g. production-related data, is also an extremely valuable asset that needs to be protected.

Organisations in the Netherlands must be able to demonstrate that they are in control increasingly often. This involves more than physical security and safely storing data. Challenging requirements now also apply to connectivity and data transport.

“Together with Relined, Fujitsu was able to present a much more attractive business case that also offered considerably greater capacity.”

“Relined offers quality at an attractive price, which – along with its great network coverage and the low damping in the connections – are important reasons why we purchase Dark Fiber connections from Relined.”

“The fact that only certified contractors are allowed to work near the fibre optic cables means the network is exceptionally stable, safe and secure.”

“Relined’s proposal offered us quality at a competitive price. Prior to this, Relined had already submitted a clearly written implementation plan to us that considered all the possible scenarios. This gave us a lot of confidence in them. Not for nothing was the tender awarded to Relined.”
