SumoFiber Internet Failover is a managed software-defined wide-area network that connects multi-site businesses across Utah, Idaho, and Montana over fiber and broadband with policy-driven routing, automatic failover, and centralized cloud management.
Offices, retail chains, clinics, credit unions, logistics hubs, and municipal offices use SumoFiber Internet Failover to replace legacy MPLS, bond business-grade fiber circuits, and keep cloud apps like Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Epic responsive at every location.
Eight capabilities that replace legacy MPLS and stitch multi-site networks together.
Use local internet providers to diversify bandwidth. Add new sites to your network quickly and easily.
Prioritize real-time cloud services and manage connectivity to provide minimal delays.
Protect against outages with sub-second failover and 24/7 connection-health monitoring across every link.
Centralize cloud management and automate branch deployment — most customers cut WAN spend 30 to 50 percent versus MPLS.
Internet Failover identifies traffic by application — Microsoft 365, Zoom, Salesforce, POS — and steers each one over the best-performing path in real time.
New sites come online in under an hour. Ship a pre-configured appliance, plug in power and internet, and it auto-provisions from the cloud.
Next-gen firewall, IPS, URL filtering, and encrypted IPsec site-to-site VPN on every appliance — SASE-ready for hybrid and remote workers.
Guaranteed bandwidth and low-latency paths for Zoom, Teams, telemedicine, and SumoFiber Hosted PBX VoIP — so a backup job never kills a call.
Side-by-side on the seven criteria that matter most when a multi-site network is being designed or modernized.
| Capability | Internet Failover | Traditional MPLS | Dual-WAN router |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost (10 sites) | Low — runs on commodity fiber and broadband | High — premium per-Mbps carrier pricing | Low — but limited functionality |
| Deployment for a new site | Under 1 hour, zero-touch | 30–90 days carrier install | 1–2 hours, manual config per device |
| Failover between ISPs | Automatic, sub-second, per-application | None — single carrier path | Basic — full-session drop on failover |
| Application-aware routing | Yes — steers each app over the best path | No — all traffic on one circuit | No — simple load-balancing only |
| Centralized management | Single cloud dashboard for every site | Carrier portal, limited visibility | Per-device login, no central policy |
| Built-in security | NGFW, IPS, encrypted VPN, SASE-ready | Private circuit only — add firewall separately | Basic NAT / firewall only |
| Cloud / SaaS performance | Direct internet breakout per app | Backhauls cloud traffic to HQ | No SaaS optimization |
Custom-quoted after a free 30-minute network design session. Pricing flexes with the four variables below — never a one-size license fee.
Two locations to fifty — every branch inherits the same policy and per-site pricing model.
Right-size each circuit to the workload — Microsoft 365, VoIP, POS, and video.
Single edge, redundant pair, or HA cluster — scaled to traffic and uptime targets.
Add NGFW, IPS, secure web gateway, or full SASE — pay only for what you turn on.

Six industries where multi-site Internet Failover pays for itself within the first year.
Multi-location retailers with stores from Park City to Bozeman keep POS, inventory sync, and guest Wi-Fi segmented and always online across every storefront.
Clinics across the Wasatch Front and Treasure Valley run EHR systems, telemedicine video, and HIPAA-regulated backups over encrypted site-to-site links with prioritized voice traffic.
Credit unions with branches in Ogden, Boise, and Missoula deliver PCI-compliant network segmentation and dual-carrier redundancy for ATM and teller systems.
Fulfillment and distribution hubs in Salt Lake City and Idaho Falls prioritize ERP and warehouse-management traffic while keeping bulk replication on the cheap secondary circuit.
Municipal offices on UTOPIA Fiber cities and rural Montana networks run secure, segmented networks across dozens of buildings without a fiber ring to every site.
Resorts and restaurants from Sun Valley to Big Sky split guest Wi-Fi, staff operations, and property-management systems — and fail over to LTE when a mountain fiber cut happens.
Deployment profile by network size — timelines, hardware posture, and the customer profile each matches.
| Deployment size | Typical timeline | Recommended profile | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2–5 sites | 2–3 weeks | Dual-WAN edge + cloud management | Small offices, single-city clinics, credit-union branches |
| 6–20 sites | 4–6 weeks | Redundant edge + firewall services | Retail chains, healthcare networks, logistics |
| 21–50+ sites | 8–12 weeks phased | HA pairs + SASE security + NOC integration | Government, hospitality groups, multi-state operations |
A four-step process from consultation to 24/7 managed operation — typically two to six weeks end to end.
Schedule an Internet Failover consultation and a solutions engineer reviews your locations, existing circuits, cloud applications, security requirements, and failover goals. You leave with a written network design and a fixed-price quote — no guesswork.
We architect a per-site bandwidth plan, select primary and secondary ISP paths, define application and QoS policies, and configure firewall rules, VPN tunnels, and segmentation. Every policy is built once in the cloud controller and applied across every branch.
SumoFiber provisions business fiber circuits, pre-stages Internet Failover appliances, and ships them to each site. On-site staff plug in power and the WAN cable — appliances auto-provision from the cloud in minutes. Cutover happens on your schedule with zero downtime on the existing network.
24/7 monitoring from our Bountiful-based support team, proactive alerts, application-performance reporting, and local UT/ID/MT engineering. Policy changes deploy in seconds. Add a new site in under an hour.
Internet Failover is a managed software-defined wide-area network service that connects multiple business sites over any combination of internet links — fiber, cable, LTE, or satellite — and uses centralized software to route traffic, enforce security, and fail over automatically when a connection degrades.
MPLS is a carrier-provided private circuit with fixed bandwidth and long install times, typically 30 to 120 days per site. Internet Failover runs over standard internet connections, installs in 1 to 3 weeks per site, and costs 40 to 60 percent less on average while matching or exceeding MPLS reliability through bonding and failover.
Internet Failover handles network connectivity and routing between sites. SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) bundles software-defined WAN with cloud-delivered security services like secure web gateway, zero-trust network access, and CASB. SumoFiber deploys Internet Failover today with optional security add-ons that can grow into a full SASE stack as your needs evolve.
Most SumoFiber Internet Failover rollouts complete in 2 to 6 weeks from signed order, depending on site count and existing circuits. Single-location deployments often go live within 10 business days; multi-site rollouts of 10 or more locations are phased over 30 to 60 days with zero-touch provisioning.
SumoFiber Internet Failover continuously monitors every connected link and reroutes traffic to the healthiest available path within 1 second of detecting packet loss, latency spikes, or total failure. Voice and video calls stay connected; file transfers resume automatically.
Yes. SumoFiber Internet Failover encrypts all site-to-site traffic with IPsec (AES-256), includes next-generation firewall services with intrusion prevention and application control, and integrates with identity providers for zero-trust access. Optional SASE security layers add secure web gateway and DNS filtering.
Managed Internet Failover includes hardware (edge appliances), licensing, design and deployment, 24/7 monitoring from our Bountiful NOC, firmware and configuration changes, firewall policy management, and proactive incident response. You get a single bill and a single phone number for the entire network.
Yes, if you operate 2 or more locations and rely on cloud applications, VoIP, or site-to-site file access. Most SumoFiber customers between 2 and 20 sites see payback within 12 to 18 months from reduced circuit costs, avoided downtime, and eliminated MPLS contracts.
