Network outages are costly. When your Internet connection is down, you’re cut off from suppliers, customers, distributors, sales partners, cloud applications and, of course, revenue.

While the costs of all of this activity grinding to a halt are staggering for enterprise customers – pegged at $5,600 per minute, outages can be just as devastating to small- and mid-sized businesses. Not just in the direct costs of idle employees and lost sales, but in reputation and future revenue as well. Frustrated customers that cannot complete purchases or reach your service team during an outage can become lost customers quickly.

All in, it’s far less expensive for any business to establish redundant Internet connections than to suffer an outage.

Thanks to SD-WAN technology, it’s never been easier – or more affordable – to establish Internet failover protection. With SD-WAN, network traffic is routed over a secondary connection when a business’ primary Internet connection fails, or experiences packet loss or latency spikes.

Some of our failover solutions incorporate wireless failover protection as either the secondary connection or a third failover connection if the first two connections fail. We can provide Internet failover services with Fourth Generation Long Term Evolution (4G LTE) which is a best-in-class choice for most businesses using fiber or fixed wireless connections.
