Resinet

Resinet is a term used in information technology and telecommunications to denote network architectures or services designed for resilience and high availability. It is not anchored to a single organization or standard; rather it serves as a descriptive label for approaches intended to ensure continuous operation despite component failures. In practice, Resinet-like solutions combine multiple strategies such as multi-homing to several internet service providers, diverse and redundant paths, automated failover, traffic engineering, and geographically distributed data centers, often supported by comprehensive monitoring and incident response processes.

These designs aim to minimize downtime, packet loss, and latency spikes during disruptions, and they may include disaster recovery planning and backup communications.

Typical applications include enterprise networks, financial trading platforms, and government or critical infrastructure networks where uptime is essential. Vendors and service providers may advertise Resinet as a brand or capability focusing on continuity, rapid restoration, and service-level guarantees, though there is no universal definition or measurement standard for the term.

Implementation considerations include higher cost, greater complexity, and the need for governance across providers and sites. The concept reflects broader emphasis on reliability in modern networks, alongside related ideas such as redundancy, resilience, and business continuity planning.
