Who should choose Alliance Connect Silver?

Alliance Connect Silver is the network connectivity option for our medium volume customers. It addresses the needs of customers requiring the strong reliability of a managed and guaranteed prime line, with a cost effective back-up line using the Internet.

Alliance Connect Silver offers connectivity to SWIFTNet through one leased line or DSL connection as the prime channel and the Internet as a back-up channel. The leased line or DSL connection is provided and managed by one of our four Network Partners.

Alliance Connect Silver is positioned to replace the dual-I connectivity pack.

Dedicated service from Network Partner
SWIFT Network Partners use state-of-the-art security ensuring highest resilience and lowest risk.

Guaranteed bandwidths
The dedicated access lines provide guaranteed bandwidths to SWIFTNet.

Fully resilient solution
The Alliance Connect Silver configuration protects against a failure of the Network Partner’s router, leased line (or DSL) or the VPN box, as it features automatic failover to the Internet back-up channel.

Cost effective
Using a local internet connection for the back-up channel reduces your total network connectivity cost significantly. SWIFT does not charge any additional fee for this back-up link.

Scalable
You have the flexibility to increase the bandwitdh or to move from DSL to leased line technology depending on your needs.
