Frequently Asked Questions
What is AkativeSD™ and how does it differ from standard backup?
AkativeSD™ is a managed backup solution designed for SD-WAN and latency-sensitive networks. Unlike traditional backup solutions that may have a brief reconnection period, AkativeSD provides uninterrupted connectivity by switching connections without dropping active network sessions. This keeps your business-critical applications online during network transitions with no "offline" state.
How does AkativeSD™ protect business-critical applications like VoIP?
AkativeSD™ utilizes seamless failover technology to maintain persistent sessions during network transitions. Because there is no lag or reconnection gap, VoIP calls do not drop and cloud-based applications remain active. This allows your business to attain uninterrupted performance and maintain professional service standards regardless of your primary provider’s status.
Can I choose which traffic uses the cellular backup connection?
Yes. AkativeSD™ enables granular traffic steering, allowing you to prioritize mission-critical data over the best available connection. By steering traffic away from congested paths and toward the highest-quality link, you improve overall application performance and ensure your most vital systems always have the bandwidth they need to operate efficiently.
What visibility does SD-WAN FlowTracking™ provide?
SD-WAN FlowTracking™ provides real-time visibility into your network’s data paths. By observing traffic flows through time-correlated timelines, you can verify how your SD-WAN rules are performing and where your traffic is located across all sites. This monitoring tool empowers your team with the data-dense insights needed to verify network health.
How do I know the cellular backup is ready when I need it?
AkativeSD™ utilizes ConnectionValidation™ to proactively test and validate your cellular data connections.
