Magnet Managed Failover

Can your business afford ever to be offline – even for a minute? If the answer is a definite ‘no’, internet failover protection is essential.
Occasional connectivity outages are unavoidable. Whether a digger hits and breaks a services duct or a storm leaves a trail of destruction, connectivity hardware is sometimes damaged or fails. Common sense says that if business survival depends on 24/7 uptime, a back-up internet connection is indispensable.

One powerful way to mitigate the risks of downtime is network diversity. By leveraging multiple types of internet connections, businesses can ensure they stay connected even when one network fails. Combining high speed business connections with backup solutions is critical, in other words, it’s as essential as a reserve parachute.

Product Overview

Managed Failover from Magnet Plus is that parachute. It can offer a full redundant internet connection using alternative technology to your main connection. So, for example, if fibre in the ground delivers day-to-day connectivity, your managed internet failover service could be carried by an alternative copper link.

A managed failover solution instantly takes over if a failure on the main link is detected. The result? Whatever happens in the outside world, your business will remain online and operating. Then once your primary connection is up and running again, it will automatically take over as if nothing had happened.

Fibre DIA with Fibre Backup.

To create true redundancy, larger businesses should consider pairing a Dedicated Internet Access connection with a second dedicated fibre connection that is routed through a different physical path or even to a separate data centre. This way, if one fibre link is damaged by a storm, flood, or local outage, the backup connection is already active, minimizing any disruption.

Fibre DIA Line with a Wireless DIA Backup.

An effective Managed Failover solution should match your business’s location, requirements and the specific demands you’ll place on your connection. A separate wireless DIA connection is an effective and resilient solution to offer network diversity to large businesses with an existing fibre DIA connection.

Fibre with 4G Backup (SME’s)

A cost-effective failover solution suitable for SME’s. If the fibre broadband line goes down—due to weather, or network maintenance—the 4G connection automatically kicks in. While the 4G network offers lower bandwidth and higher latency than fibre, it provides a dependable backup solution that keeps operations running without significant interruptions.

  • You’re Prepared.
    It’s virtually impossible to predict an unplanned outage. Managed Failure combines a range of technologies to maintain connectivity.
  • Powered by Fortinet.
    Both connections are monitored by Fortinet technology 24/7, so Magnet + will usually know about, and resolve, any issues before you do. In fact, you’ll probably never notice any change whatsoever in your connection.
  • Complete Consistency.
    Managed Failover with backup DIA or fibre ensures that your connectivity always remains at the same speed and capacity. Staff and customers therefore experience zero change in service if the primary link fails.
  • Stay Secure
    Two exclusive, private DIA links are far more secure than a shared connection. This level of security is vital if your business handles any highly confidential or sensitive data.
  • Tailored to your Business.
    We design your Magnet Managed Failover solution to match your business’s location, requirements and the specific demands you’ll place on your connection. A 4G backup is suitable for SME’s while DIA and Fibre solutions offer the true redundancy required by larger organisations.
  • Support is Certain.
    A break in connectivity creates intense pressure if your business can’t afford downtime. With Managed Failover, 24/7 expert engineering support is always available – and your call will be answered by a real person, never a bot.
