PowerLink allows organizations to save money, while increasing the reliability and flexibility of their WAN connectivity. PowerLink enables organizations to save on reoccurring costs for network connectivity by allowing them to deploy affordable DSL or cable links, instead of more expensive T1 or bonded T1 connections.
PowerLink enables network IT personnel to maximize their total cost-of-ownership for WAN and ISP links, while enabling flexible and cost-effective deployment options; ROI can be gained within 3 months. Businesses can lower their monthly connectivity costs and are no longer tied to using just one service provider. Businesses can easily manage two or more ISPs with automatic failover capabilities. For example, A T1 connection has throughput of approximately 1.5Mbps for both upstream and downstream directions. By channel bonding two separate DSL lines, each having 6Mbps downstream and 768kbps upstream, creates a combined throughput of approximately 12Mbps downstream and 1.5Mbps upstream, enabling the company to achieve better performance than a T1 connection at a fraction of the cost - without sacrificing performance or Internet reliability. This is true savings for businesses trying to cut costs, while relying on the Internet for revenue or workforce productivity.
