Product Components

Product Recommendation

Zero outage protection. Several hours or days worth of downtime, what would that cost your organization? Slower Internet access as more applications are brought online. More user complaints regarding choppy web access.

Slow Server Response
Without additional bandwidth any network will begin to slow down over time. New applications and additional users begin to use up all available resources and packet shaping products can only assist for so long.

Expensive Bandwidth Options
While it is always possible to obtain additional bandwidth, what is the cost? Beyond standard T1 rates the cost for bandwidth skyrockets to thousands of dollars per month. Adding secondary BGP links are expensive with high maintenance costs and provide no load balancing capabilities.

Zero Redundancy
A single Internet connection, no matter how much bandwidth it delivers is always susceptible to outages. This translates to downtime, high costs, and lost revenue. Multihoming with BGP provides little benefits for the high cost of deployment. BGP is in most cases prohibitively expense and in all cases not worth the expense due to its many limitations, including the inability to balance network traffic.

With The Edge Platform

    Network Load Balancing 101

The Edge platform delivers a solid yet flexible solution for organizations looking for a reliable network load balancing product. Our applied patent technology was developed to ensure multilink stability and reliability while running on our high performance platforms.

Inbound / Outbound Balancing
The Edge platforms provide a comprehensive network balancing solution. With automatic outbound network balancing and an easy to configure ActiveDNS service for inbound server balancing and reliability, the Edge platform delivers a truly complete solution.

Session Persistence
A significant issue with some balancing products, the Edge platform ensures session persistence throughout long file downloads and gracefully handles various web-hosted applications which tend to have problems being balanced.

Best Path RoutingTM
A core element of our balancing technology is our Best Path Routing algorithm. BPR uses various network metrics, including administrative weighting, to determine how network sessions are balanced across the various active links. Each new session and overall network utilization effects the balancing decision along with remote resource assignments which can be designated by the network administrator.
