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.

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.
