Plymouth, MN – July 14, 2009 – Ecessa, a leader in affordable WAN link controllers for small-to-medium sized enterprises (SME), today announced that C&D LLP, a California-based accounting firm, has deployed Ecessa’s PowerLink WAN link controllers to manage its growing WAN infrastructure demands. With the assistance of network solution provider CompuVision, C&D now has a WAN solution to manage various traffic types while delivering reliable connectivity and business continuity to its users despite an outage or emergency situation.

C&D’s T1 connection is used for VoIP, email and Internet connectivity to communicate with
a remote workforce and with its customers and government agencies. The firm also relies on the Internet for electronic filings of tax returns, document management, accounting software and other accounting functions. With the Southern California area plagued with a series of devastating fires, coupled with sporadic Internet outages, Internet performance has been adversely affected, hampering employee productivity and the ability to fully service clients. The Ecessa PowerLink provides seamless failover between ISPs in an event of an outage, as well as providing load balancing and bandwidth control for different applications and user traffic.

“We recommended Ecessa’s PowerLink, because it met the business continuity requirements of C&D,“ states Chris Francesconi, regional manager at CompuVision. “In fact, a big part of our decision to recommend Ecessa was because PowerLink is an affordable solution for increasing bandwidth by aggregating two disparate Internet connections, as well as becoming a layer of protection from service provider outages and natural disasters. By building in redundant Internet connectivity, if one service provider has an outage, PowerLink automatically fails over to the other ISP.”

“I find great peace of mind that C&D is now safe, in that if one of our ISPs has an outage, our employees, partners and clients will not be affected. Powerlink will automatically direct our users to the other ISP connection,” says Pat Malvarose, Network Administrator for C&D. “This is a perfect solution for our company. Now, we are protected in case one of our service providers has an outage, or if one of our network connections is bottlenecked. Overall it provides us with the optimal user experience.”

“PowerLink is a great solution for our partners that want to deliver fantastic value to their clients, as CompuVision did with C&D,” states Ron Thomas, president and CEO of Ecessa. “In addition to providing WAN reliability through multiple, diverse WAN connections to protect against failures, PowerLink enabled them with greater overall throughput by directing traffic among all the network connections.”
