Introduction: In today’s always-on digital economy, downtime is not just inconvenient—it’s costly. Whether it’s a fibre cut, power outage, or cyberattack, businesses must be prepared to maintain operations. That’s where failover comes in. EMS UK provides robust failover and disaster recovery solutions that ensure your business stays online, no matter what.
What is Failover and Why It Matters
Failover is the automatic switching to a standby system when the primary system fails. It’s a critical component of any business continuity plan. Without it, even a minor disruption can lead to lost revenue, damaged reputation, and regulatory consequences.
Common Causes of IT and Connectivity Failure
- Fibre cuts and ISP outages
- Power failures and hardware malfunctions
- Natural disasters like floods or storms
- Cyberattacks and ransomware
How EMS UK Optimises Failover
EMS UK offers intelligent failover solutions that include:
- Bonded 4G/5G routers with seamless failover/failback
- Multi-WAN routing with automatic switching
- Cloud-managed infrastructure for real-time monitoring
Real-World Example
A logistics company experienced a major fibre outage. Thanks to EMS’s bonded router with automatic failover, their operations continued without interruption. Staff were unaware of the switch, and no data was lost.
Assessing Your Failover Readiness
Ask yourself:
- Do you rely on a single internet connection?
- Is your failover tested regularly?
- Can your team work remotely if needed?
