Businesses are looking for ways to lower monthly costs for their Internet connectivity (bandwidth). Ecessa enables them to either replace expensive dedicated circuits with low-cost broadband connections (cable, DSL, wireless, etc). Alternatively, if they need additional bandwidth, rather than upgrading to a more expensive dedicated circuit, they can simply add a low-cost broadband connection. Ecessa will manage both the dedicated circuit and broadband connections.
Businesses also need greater Internet reliability for their employees, customers and business partners. If their Internet connection goes down, employees loose productivity, and customers can't conduct business with them.
Ecessa makes devices that manage users and applications (network traffic) going to and from a business over the Internet. Two or more Internet connections (i.e. T1, cable, DSL, etc.) are connected into our product, which continually checks all connections to ensure they are performing well and are always up. If a problem occurs, say the DSL connection goes down, Ecessa will direct all traffic to the other connection.
One of the things we often hear from companies before they bought an Ecessa product, if they had an Internet outage, the IT department would have to scramble to find the problem (under much stress), and work to get the problem fixed. It took too much time, and employees and customers heartily complained. After they installed our product, when one of their network connections goes down, they don't even know about it. The IT department only knows about it because Ecessa sends them an email notification. But, they don't have to do anything about it. Ecessa has already addressed the problem. No mad scrambling for the IT department, and employees and customers are not even aware of any problem.
Ecessa enables bandwidth throttling by allowing usage-based rules for prioritizing traffic. Admins can configure quality of service rules to gradually set heavy bandwidth users or services to lower priority levels as they cross certain utilization thresholds. This allows for more flexible bandwidth throttling than the typical "all or nothing" approach often used to manage bandwidth.
