Does My Business Need SD-WAN?
Here are some questions you can ask to determine whether SD-WAN could benefit your business:
- How important is your internet connection?
- How much would it cost your busines if your Internet was down for an hour?
- With NBN rolling out and VoIP phones becoming standard in most offices, would losing your phone system affect your business?
- How reliable is your existing NBN service? How many outages have you had this week?
How Does Failover Work?
In many cases, if your internet goes down, so does your business. Emails go unanswered, and files stored in the cloud may become inaccessible. Customers may not even be able to reach you by phone. Unfortunately, not all internet connections perform their best all the time.
TechPath’s SD-WAN constantly monitors your links for latency spikes as well as bi-directional packet loss. Traffic is seamlessly moved between internet connections to maintain speed and stability, so your VoIP calls and other critical data are always online.
Where Is It Available?
Generally, SD-WAN is available to add onto any existing internet connection. Dual internet connections are required for failover; however some businesses add SD-WAN onto a single connection to create private networks and gain the benefits of WAN compression.
