Firewall Protection
Packet level firewall protection with the ability to block application traffic based on signature, port, protocol, src/dst address/network. Includes web content filtering, and add-on email spam filtering service. Firewall rules can be configured locally or via our ZeroOutages global management system (Managed Service Providers, please contact XRoads Networks sales representatives for more information).

MSA Bandwidth Bonding
XRoads Networks unique BroadBond™ technology w/Multi-Session Acceleration has the ability to combine multiple ISP connections by initiating multiple sessions across various links and servers in order to accelerate web-based downloads and thus double your Internet speed. Combine a 3Mbps link with a 5Mbps links to get 8Mbps downloads.

Network Redundancy
Access to the Internet is critical today for organizations of all shapes and sizes. A network outage can quickly create huge costs in lost business and lost productivity. Other solutions on the market, including BGP routing, are difficult to setup and are not available for lower cost broadband backup solutions. Additionally, BGP also does not include the ability to bond WAN links for accelerated web-downloads.

Efficient Use Of Secondary Links
The LINKaXcel product not only ensures automated failover of network connectivity in the event of an ISP outage, but it also can utilize the backup connection for lower priority traffic, like accelerated web downloads and email connectivity, thus making efficient use of the backup link and speeding up end-user connectivity.

Best Path Routing w/SLA Reporting
The LINKaXcel product also includes adaptive Best Path Routing™ technology which constantly monitors critical remote sites and provides real-time SLA metrics and can update routing tables based on the performance of each WAN link.
