>>The server for my client was used to house FoxPro data for a home grown application written back in 2000. Remote users used Remote Desktop connection to access the system while local users accessed the system via the LAN. I have since re-engineered this application in .NET and created a web application hosted on a server in the cloud. I also used the server for file sharing in the office, but now I want to put the users on Google Apps for Business, thereby giving them file sharing in the cloud. Anti-virus is handled at the front door via the SonicWall firewall.

You can use a cellular router. Some of them also have a conventional broadband connection, which is normally used. However, they will automatically failover to the cellular link if the primary link goes down.
