SD-WAN uses active/active connectivity and dynamic WAN selection to ensure reliability and business continuity for maximum uptime for essential applications and can be paired with diverse access options for enhanced resilience. What’s more, OfficeSuite UC’s cloud-based design means the entire system is available anytime, anywhere, in the cloud.
