Ecessa WAN link controllers are cost-effective network devices that create a virtual WAN environment that delivers affordable, reliable and optimized Internet connectivity. When compared to legacy WAN services such as Frame Relay and MPLS, WAN link controllers enable all types of network links (including broadband) to provide greater WAN reliability through redundancy, bandwidth cost savings by using low-cost links, and additional bandwidth by aggregating multiple active links.

Network Transparency

IT organizations often cite transparency as a key attribute of PowerLink and ShieldLink. In the most general sense of the term, a completely transparent WAN link controller is one that can be added to the existing network without requiring complicated reconfiguration of existing network elements or end systems, and without disrupting services that are provided within the network between WAN link controllers located at multiple sites.
