“When you build for life safety, there can’t be a single point of failure,” says Jake Jacoby, CEO of TELCLOUD. “Our networks are designed to stay up—no matter what fails.”

In the latest episode of the TELCLOUD POTS and Shots Podcast Series, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, sits down with Jacoby to discuss what it really means to build fault-tolerant infrastructure—and why resilience and redundancy are the backbone of modern telecom.

Jacoby explains that fault tolerance is about creating systems that can experience a failure without disruption. TELCLOUD applies this philosophy at every level of its network architecture, ensuring 99.999% uptime for critical life-safety communications such as fire alarms and elevator systems.

TELCLOUD’s geographically redundant design eliminates single points of failure:

• Multiple data centers across the U.S. (East, West, and Central) mirror one another, so if one fails, another immediately takes over.
• Each data center includes redundant servers, power systems, and load balancers, ensuring continuous operation even during localized outages.
• On-premise devices feature dual power sources, battery backups, and often generator integration for sustained operation during power loss.
• Multiple WAN options—fiber, Wi-Fi, and cellular—enable instant failover, with support for multiple carriers on a single device.

“Emergencies don’t happen when things are perfect,” Jacoby notes. “They happen when power is out or connectivity is weak—and that’s when TELCLOUD’s systems keep working.”

For resellers and MSPs, TELCLOUD’s architecture provides more than reliability—it’s a competitive differentiator. By offering enterprise-grade, fault-tolerant solutions for POTS replacement, partners can deliver a service that customers trust to perform when it matters most.

“When our resellers partner with TELCLOUD, they know they’re getting the best technology—constantly improving, globally redundant, and built to last,” Jacoby says. “Customers don’t want to hear about servers and routers—they just want service that never fails.”

And in the Shots segment, Jacoby introduces a truly special find: Casa San Matías “Resol” Extra Añejo Tequila, aged five years in oak barrels in Jalisco, Mexico. The striking bottle—embossed with a golden sun face—reflects the craftsmanship and attention to detail shared by fine tequila and TELCLOUD’s engineering philosophy.

“Producers put their heart and soul into tequila,” Jacoby says. “That same pride goes into the technology we build—crafted to endure and meant to be shared.”

The POTS and Shots series continues to blend business insight with a touch of culture—helping channel partners and MSPs prepare for the copper sunset while enjoying a global tour of the world’s best tequilas.
