RESILIENT ENTERPRISE CONNECTIVITY
Keep your business connected when the network fails.
Lira-VPN provides secure, resilient connectivity for enterprises operating across Internet, fibre, MPLS, 4G and 5G networks.
For multi-branch SMEs and distributed enterprises — including sites where fixed-line connectivity is unreliable.
THE BUSINESS PROBLEM
Your business depends on networks you do not control.
Enterprises run on fibre, MPLS, Internet, 4G and 5G links — often from several providers across dispersed locations. Any one of those paths can fail or degrade.
Outages & provider failures
Fibre cuts, provider incidents and local infrastructure failures can isolate a branch from headquarters, systems and customers.
Congestion, loss & latency
Packet loss, high latency, congestion and intermittent connectivity degrade applications — even when a link is technically “up”.
Uneven coverage
Connectivity quality varies by location. Cellular networks fluctuate. Some sites have no reliable fixed line at all.
The business requirement is continuity: branches, offices, users and corporate resources must remain connected — even when individual paths do not. That is the problem Lira-VPN is built to address.
THE LIRA APPROACH
Build resilience into the network.
Lira-VPN creates a secure enterprise networking layer across your available WAN transports — so the corporate network can survive the failure or degradation of individual paths.
- Multiple WAN paths. Work with the transports you already have — Internet, fibre, MPLS and cellular — from one or more providers.
- Encrypted connectivity. Corporate traffic travels inside the Lira overlay across untrusted or shared underlying networks.
- Path resilience. Designed for difficult networks: high latency, packet loss, intermittent links and cellular variability.
- Failover & recovery. Move connectivity away from an unavailable or degraded path where supported by the deployment, and recover when it returns.
- Branch & mobile users. Connect sites through gateways and authorised Windows users through the Lira client.
Not every deployment uses every transport simultaneously. Lira is configured around the paths each site actually has.
CORE BENEFITS
Resilience you can plan around.
Practical outcomes for IT managers, network administrators and business owners responsible for operational continuity.
WAN resilience
Maintain connectivity across multiple available network paths instead of depending on a single link.
Automatic failover
Move connectivity away from an unavailable or degraded path where supported by the deployment.
Heterogeneous networks
Operate across different transport types and service providers within one corporate architecture.
Secure connectivity
Encrypted enterprise connectivity across untrusted or shared networks you do not fully control.
Multi-site networking
Connect branches and enterprise locations through a common resilient overlay.
Mobile workforce
Support secure connectivity for authorised Windows-based mobile users working beyond the branch.
USE CASES
Where Lira-VPN fits.
Five common patterns. Each starts from the customer’s connectivity problem — not from the technology.
1 · Resilient branch connectivity
Branch offices that need reliable connectivity to headquarters, data centres or other corporate locations — across multiple WAN paths with failover to keep central corporate connectivity intact.
2 · SME multi-site networks
Growing businesses with several offices or branches. Build resilient connectivity without redesigning the entire corporate network.
3 · 4G/5G WAN backup
Where fibre is unavailable or fixed-line service is unreliable, cellular becomes a practical second WAN — particularly valuable across African markets.
4 · Hybrid WAN
Combine MPLS, Internet, fibre, 4G and 5G into one resilient corporate connectivity architecture instead of managing each in isolation.
5 · Road Warrior / mobile workforce
Secure corporate connectivity beyond the branch. Authorised mobile users connect from Windows devices over home, office, hotel or mobile-broadband Internet.
