Strengthen Your Business with Operational Resilience
Operational resilience is the ability to deliver operations, critical network operations and core business lines through a disruption from any hazard. It is the outcome of effective operational risk management and planning combined with sufficient financial and operational resources to prepare, adapt, withstand, and recover from disruptions. Done well, operational resilience is a strategic, top-down driven effort, woven into the fabric of an organization, with the aim of driving readiness specific to the organization’s most important business services.
Achieving operational resilience involves developing a culture of continuous improvement and learning, incorporating resilience into an organization's overall strategy, and investing in robust systems, processes, and infrastructure to support business continuity. It involves establishing clear lines of communication and coordination among all stakeholders, including employees, customers, suppliers, and regulators.
Operational resilience is especially critical to a Chief Information Officer (CIO) because it helps ensure that the organization's IT systems and services can withstand disruptions and continue to support business operations. As the head of the IT department, the CIO is responsible for ensuring that the organization's technology infrastructure is reliable, secure, and able to meet the needs of the business.

Gearlinx™ Operational Resilience as a Service™ (ORAAS)
Gearlinx™ has reimagined and built from the ground up a new standard in achieving operational resilience and guaranteeing business continuity. We feel so strongly about the importance of operational resilience, we made it part of our company tagline.

Gearlinx™ Operational Resilience as a Service™ simplifies cost management, streamlines operations, and reduces downtime for businesses.

By using Gearlinx™ ORAAS, businesses will improve their operational efficiency and reduce costs associated with managing and maintaining their IT systems.
ZERO cloud portal is the Operational Resilience as a Service™ platform for the NR4400 and Duckfone™ that provides a centralized view and single pane of management of your Gearlinx™ fleet and 3rd party devices. ZERO gives the network team immediate access and control of their network along with the information they need to make operational improvements and life cycle management.
ZERO answers these questions in seconds:
- How many devices do we have and where are the located?
- When were they purchased?
- What is the current warranty status?
- What is the serial number?
- What is the subscription status and renewal date?
- How do I co-term my devices to expire on the same date?
- How do I pause/un-pause licenses when a device is decommissioned?
Organizations who use a legacy vendor’s solution will literally spend days, weeks, or months compiling this information into multiple spreadsheets so their customer can make important decisions on running their company. This is impractical, inefficient, and many times not complete or correct.
ZERO resolves key operational resilience deficiencies by putting your network team in control of the information so your business is more agile, moves quickly, can make real-time decisions and fiscal budgeting choices, and defeat the competition.
Operational Resilience on Your Own Terms
Gearlinx™ pioneered a SaaS approach to network resilience to offer a more cost-effective, flexible, scalable, and accessible solution for businesses of all sizes. The NR4400 and Duckfone™ are purchased along with a 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, or 7-year ORAAS subscription. For as little as $1/day, the ORAAS subscription includes annual enrollment units, ZERO cloud portal, hardware warranty, software updates, and technical support.
The age of your NR4400 or Duckfone™ is not a factor in its usability so long as you maintain an active subscription. This gives you better control of your costs and a more predictable operating model by taking the guess work out of end-of-life announcements or hardware price increase. An OPEX consumption model ensures your business a cost-effective network resilience solution that is purchased, deployed, and managed on your own terms.

Operational Resilience is Essential to WIN in Business
In today's fast-paced and ever-changing business landscape, operational resilience is more important than ever before. It ensures that organizations can continue to function and deliver products and services in the face of disruptions and challenges, both expected and unexpected. Without operational resilience, businesses risk being unable to meet customer demands, losing revenue, and damaging their reputation.
To achieve operational resilience, companies must focus on building robust systems, processes, and infrastructure that can adapt and recover quickly. An outdated CAPEX out-of-band management model is rigid and costly therefore it is imperative for businesses to unlock the power and flexibility of a modern OPEX consumption model to achieve maximum financial benefits and continuity of services.
With Gearlinx™ you will begin saving money from day one.
