t comes as no surprise that the

Internet has revolutionized the way

companies conduct business. Inter-

net connectivity is such an integral

part of business operations today that

any amount of downtime is devastating

impacting everything from revenues,

reputation and ultimately business

viability. As the reliance on internet

connectivity grows so does the cost of

downtime and the importance of a busi-

ness continuity solution for unexpected

network connection outages.

“According to industry surveys,

the average cost of downtime cost is

$5,600 per minute, which extrapolates

to well over $300K per hour. These

figures are shocking, yet many busi-

nesses do not have a business conti-

nuity solution in place to protect their

operations for loss and disruption

when it happens.”

No business is safe from network

failure, whether it’s POS transactions

and credit card processing, cloud-

based SaaS, productivity applications

or branch-office connections, always-on

connectivity is crucial for business opera-

tions. The goal of a business continuity

solution is to minimize potential network

disruptions and keep the business run-

ning. Simply stated, a business continu-

WAN connection has failed and seam-

lessly “failover” to a backup internet con-

nection. When the primary connection is

restored, the solution should “failback”

to the primary connection. Traditional

business continuity solutions were just

a secondary wired connection match-

ing that of the primary or older wired

technologies such as analog, ISDN, T1/

T3. Secondary wired connections were

never effective, because the wires were

typically apart of the same bundle from

the central office or point of presence

(PoP) as the primary connection.

No wired connection can deliver

100% uptime. Wireless WAN, in particu-

lar 4G/LTE has become the technology

of choice for business continuity. It’s

convenient, cost-effective and robust

enough to be used for the primary con-

nection. 4G/LTE service is available

virtually everywhere and offers wireless

speeds faster than most home wired

broadband services, which is more than

adequate to keep a business running

when disruptions occur. The advantag-

es of 4G/LTE extend to support mobile,

pop-up stores, temporary locations and

other events that need connectivity

Managed Wireless WAN Failover is

a unique opportunity for MSPs to cre-

ate value, differentiate service offering

their business. This of course assumes

that the MSP selects the right vendor’s

solution. Successfully implementing a

Managed Wireless WAN Business Con-

tinuity solution requires a purpose-built

fully integrated platform that’s rapidly

deployable, cost effective and remotely

manageable. The right solution will not

only address the clients’ need but also

benefit the MSPs’ bottom line and lower

the total cost of ownership (TCO),
