Stay online when an internet link fails
When your only internet connection drops, phones, cloud software and card payments stop with it. Offices with several sites often depend on older private links that are costly and slow to change.
What we configure, and what it prevents
| What we configure | What it prevents |
|---|---|
| Dual internet links with automatic failover | A single provider outage shutting down the office. |
| Encrypted links between all your sites | Branches cut off from shared files and phones. |
| Application-aware routing | Video calls and cloud software stalled behind a large download. |
| Voice prioritization (QoS) | Choppy calls when the connection is busy. |
| Planned migration from older VPNs or MPLS | Downtime and lost routes during the cutover. |

How it’s delivered
- We map your sites, your links and the applications that matter most.
- We design the SD-WAN and validate it at one site first.
- We migrate the remaining sites one at a time, each with a rollback plan.
- We monitor link health and tune routing as part of ongoing support.
Frequently asked questions
- Is SD-WAN only for large companies?
- No. A single office with two internet connections can use it to fail over automatically and keep calls clear. Whether it’s worth it depends on what an outage costs you; the free assessment helps you decide.
- Do we need two internet providers?
- For failover, yes, ideally over different connection types, such as fibre and cable or cellular. If both links come from the same provider, one outage can take out both.
- Can you replace our MPLS?
- Often, yes. We have hands-on experience migrating branches from MPLS and older VPNs to SD-WAN. We move one site at a time and keep the old link in place until the new one is proven.
- Which SD-WAN platform do you use?
- Our hands-on experience is with Silver Peak SD-WAN. We recommend a platform based on your size, your sites and your budget, not one brand for every client.
