Everything You Need to Know About Network Failover

Overview

The Internet has become so pervasive and integral for conducting business and communicating with customers, partners and employees, that network performance, high-availability, and uptime are required for running the day-to-day operations of an organization. Network downtime not only costs money and loss of productivity, it can also adversely affect a company's reputation among customers and partners. For many companies, their entire business strategy depends on how well its network performs. There are many events that can cause a network or site to go down, such as natural disasters, security attacks, a backhoe cutting a network line, or failing network infrastructure.
