Internet downtime can be a huge source of aggravation for any business. Cloud-based applications are unavailable, and employees can’t do their work. The IT team is overwhelmed with support calls.

Even a partial outage or brownout can affect time-sensitive, session-based activities. VoIP calls drop, customers can’t complete their online purchases, and videoconference participants start to look and sound unprofessional during their most important meetings.
