Verus takes a staged and graduated approach to network migrations to ensure that disruptions are minimized and migrations rollout as smoothly as possible. Whenever possible, new networks are first deployed and extensively monitored and tested in our Minneapolis Data Center to ensure they function reliably before they are implemented on customer premises. Verus also typically operates new networks in parallel with existing networks to further ensure their reliability before an actual network cutover. Verus also remotely monitors new networks on a real-time basis after installation and is in constant contact with IT personnel at customer sites during the crucial staged network deployment cutover period.
