Seamless Failover Business Use Cases 

This topic highlights use cases of how businesses can benefit from seamless failover.

Example 1: In restaurants and coffee shops, point of sale (POS) systems need continuous connectivity to process payments. It is important that the IP phone systems have a good voice quality and uninterrupted connectivity for take-outs and deliveries. Moreover, the restaurants require a simple and managed solution to deal with the interruptions when there is no IT staff on premises. Implementing Adaptiv Business Connect (with Web Protect) ensures business continuity for these businesses with seamless failover.

Example 2: In retail stores, the cloud-based inventory management and POS systems heavily rely on continuous network connectivity. Fluctuations in network demand during seasonal sales and peak shopping periods can create bottlenecks and slowdowns. Such businesses benefit from seamless failover, which eliminates the loss of network connectivity by switching the traffic to back up link if there is a failure is detected in the primary internet link.

Example 3: Businesses like healthcare, architects, finance and law firms require uninterrupted connectivity for their critical cloud-based applications like AutoCAD, Clio, Microsoft Cloud, etc. Moreover, they benefit from seamless failover when their Teams and Zoom calls have performance issues (often calls drop due to poor quality).

Example 4: Municipalities need their public-facing services, like websites, to be highly available. Implementing Adaptiv Business Connect (with static public IP) provides a resilient connection that can be used by the employees for services like VoIP, ERP and so on.

Example 5: Many industries, such as Telemedicine and law firms, require high-quality connectivity for remote workers to stay productive. Home connectivity is often not as resilient and performant as in the office, and cybersecurity posture is low at home networks. Adaptiv My Connect (with Network Protect) provides seamless failover for business continuity for the remote workforce.

Example 6: In the hospitality industry and multi-dwelling units (MDUs), seamless failover can help provide a better experience with assured accessibility of Property management system (PMS) and reservation systems. It also helps avoid dropped calls for guests/residents while maintaining a low cost.
