Backup & Failover
One connection should not be a single point of failure.
Build resilience with secondary internet, diverse access technologies, fixed wireless, cellular, alternate carriers, and automated failover strategies.
Envoy helps businesses evaluate both provider diversity and physical network diversity where possible.
Plan the backup before the outage.
Essential applications
Determine the traffic and capacity that must remain available during an outage, including voice, transactions, and critical cloud applications.
Diverse dependencies
Different carriers may share infrastructure. Review physical paths where information is available, along with access technology, equipment, and power dependencies.
Failover readiness
Define equipment, configuration, monitoring, and testing responsibilities. A second circuit alone does not provide automatic failover.
Consider the whole connectivity requirement.
Related services may help with performance, resilience, or ongoing operations. Evaluate them together around the business and its locations.
