In a world where businesses rely heavily on Internet connectivity for everyday operations, downtime can lead to lost revenue, reduced productivity, and customer dissatisfaction. Whether you’re a small business or a large enterprise, the risk of connectivity issues is real. However, modern solutions, including SD-WAN, 5G, fiber, VoIP failover, and multi-carrier redundancy, can help businesses safeguard against connectivity issues. Here’s how you can protect your business and ensure 100% uptime with Vivant’s SmartCONNECT™.

1. SD-WAN for Optimized Connectivity

SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Networking) offers businesses a smart way to manage multiple internet connections. It automatically optimizes and routes traffic across different connections like broadband, fiber, or 5G, ensuring that your network remains efficient even during outages. SD-WAN can prioritize critical applications like VoIP or cloud services, enhancing overall productivity.

With SmartCONNECT™, Vivant provides businesses with real-time monitoring of their internet connections, leveraging SD-WAN to ensure that your network is always running optimally. In case of a failure in the primary connection, SD-WAN automatically switches to backup, providing seamless failover.

2. 5G and Fiber Backup for Enhanced Redundancy

Reliable backup internet connections are crucial to prevent downtime. 5G offers high-speed, low-latency wireless connections, while fiber-optic internet provides the stability and speed required for modern business operations. Together, they provide the perfect combination of fast and reliable backups.

SmartCONNECT™ guarantees 100% uptime, by automatically switching between your primary and secondary connections as needed.

3. VoIP Failover for Continuous Communication

In an era where communication is key, businesses cannot afford to miss important calls due to connectivity issues. With VoIP failover, Vivant ensures that your VoIP phone system remains active even during internet outages. This ensures that calls are seamlessly rerouted, preventing missed opportunities and maintaining excellent customer service.

4. Cloud-Based Monitoring for Proactive Management

The best way to avoid network issues is through cloud-based monitoring that provides real-time insights into your network’s performance. With proactive monitoring, potential issues are identified and addressed before they can cause major disruptions. Vivant’s SmartCONNECT™ offers comprehensive monitoring to ensure that your business stays ahead of connectivity problems, reducing the need for troubleshooting or IT intervention.

5. Multi-Carrier Redundancy for Maximum Uptime

For businesses that need ultimate reliability, multi-carrier redundancy ensures that no single provider’s failure can bring down your operations. By utilizing multiple carriers, SmartCONNECT™ switches traffic between carriers in real time to guarantee continuous connectivity.
