Challenge

Unreliable Internet Connections

Attorneys regularly experienced internet connection failures while working in and outside the office.

Two ISPs, No Seamless Failover

MMM already had Level3 and AT&T as backup providers, but switching between them wasn’t seamless.

Critical IT Resources

Email, corporate VPN, Microsoft Exchange, AirWatch SEG, and VMWare View needed to remain accessible at all times.

Solution

Total Uptime implemented Cloud Failover to manage inbound traffic routing and keep MMM’s critical applications available when an ISP experiences latency, packet loss, or an outage.

Automatic ISP Failover

Automatically switch traffic between Level3 and AT&T when the primary ISP experiences connectivity issues.

Application Availability

Maintain reliable external access to Microsoft Exchange, AirWatch Secure Email Gateway, VMWare View, and corporate VPN.
