What Is DIA?
Dedicated Internet Access provides guaranteed bandwidth and enterprise SLAs over fiber. Unlike best-effort broadband, DIA offers symmetrical speeds, static IPs, and proactive monitoring.
Key Benefits
- Guaranteed throughput with symmetrical upload/download speeds
- Lower latency via optimized routing and peering
- High reliability with diverse paths and fast incident response
- Better security with dedicated circuits and managed edge options
Design Considerations
- Redundancy: dual-homed DIA, path diversity, BGP failover
- SD-WAN integration for application-aware routing
- Peering proximity to cloud providers and critical SaaS
- Monitoring with NOC visibility and SLA reporting
