WAN Balancer

WAN Balancer

WAN Balancer allows companies to easily split traffic across up to six separate Internet connections. The traffic is spread based on user-specified weightings, ensuring less contention and higher performance. Companies can also save money with WAN Balancer by eliminating an expensive T1 connection in favor of multiple and redundant Cable and DSL links.

WAN Failover

WAN Failover

WAN Failover allows companies to prevent network downtime caused by their Internet Service Provider (ISP). The application detects if a company’s primary Internet link goes down and switches traffic to a backup connection automatically. When used with WAN Balancer, WAN Failover detects downtime and reroutes traffic to the remaining Internet links.
