Meshed VPN link Sharing (MVLS™)

Secure, resilient, responsive, are just a few adjectives used to describe our site-to-site solutions. Optimize WAN performance while obtaining 99.999% uptime for remote and branch office users with our secure (3DES encryption) and fully meshed site-to-site tunnel technology.

With The Edge Platform

A new and unique WAN Optimization method, our Site2Site technology improves application responsiveness between remote sites and adds a level of redundancy that surpasses all other VPN and WAN Optimization solutions.

Increased Performance
By combining multiple paths through VPN load balancing the Edge platform is able to leverage the bandwidth of each path to balance outbound sessions. This session balancing makes additional bandwidth available to the tunnels and speeds up connectivity between sites.

Automated VPN Failover / Failback
Whether between two or more Internet or private line (or MPLS) connections the Edge platform can automatically and without any routing protocols failover all remote site connections within seconds of a network outage. This ensures that remote users stay connected and that productivity losses from a network outage are significantly minimized.

Fully Meshed Resiliency
With multiple applied patents the Edge platform is able to provide a fully meshed VPN infrastructure which can guarantee that even in the event of two simultaneous network outages the remote office connection will remain up and active. This level of cost effective redundancy and resiliency is unique to our Site2Site technology.

Flexible Site2Site Deployments
Our Site2Site tunnels can work in either a single-multi or multi-multi mode. This means that we can achieve increased performance even if only a single site has multiple WAN connections. In either instance through the use of multiple paths, compression, and TCP optimization the Edge platform is able to increase application responsiveness and improve overall tunnel resiliency back to the main office.

Lowering Connectivity Costs
When evaluating remote access solutions a key component is cost. When compared to other solutions our Site2Site technology, used in conjunction with inexpensive broadband connections, provides the most cost effective option available today. In fact, many organizations have used our Site2Site technology to migrate from existing expensive point-to-point and frame connections to a less expensive dual broadband deployment while at the same time increasing their redundancy and network throughput.

Without The Edge Platform

Network outages lead to complete shutdown of remote offices. Sales transactions and CRM systems become completely cut off. As branch offices grow and/or new applications are deployed responsiveness slows. Users get choppy performance and must wait for screens to load.

Problems With WAN Optimization
WAN Optimization products can solve some application issues, such as decreasing the time required for downloading large files and accessing reoccurring data, however they are lacking in the ability to effectively speed up most CRM sessions which use small files and non-reoccurring data structures. Due to these limitations and their inability to provide any type of long-term network redundancy, these products typically have a longer ROI with less benefits when compared to our Site2Site solutions.

Single Link Liabilities
The two most common scenarios are the single VPN connection with no redundancy at either end, and a VPN connection where BGP is deployed at one end of the connection (typically the HQ site). The reliability issue is obvious with the first solution, however the question of cost must be added to the equation of the second. BGP provides zero effective load balancing or data compression yet costs more than a simple broadband connection. Why pay for such services when they are clearly ineffectual and costly?

Expensive MPLS Links Don't Provide A Full Solution
MPLS provides a high degree of application control across the entire network, however what about reliability and the cost of bandwidth upgrades? By adding a simple broadband connection to either end of an existing MPLS network our customers are able to achieve faster speeds for their critical applications traversing the MPLS network while offloading less critical traffic over the broadband link while at the same time adding full network redundancy in the event of a MPLS network outage.
