Service providers that offer managed hosting and co-location services are looking for new and profitable, value-added services to offer their customers in supporting their existing services. Their customers realize they need continuously running network infrastructure, while providing optimum performance. This is a key factor to the success of any organization that utilizes the Internet for business. The ability for service providers to offer technology that can create new revenue-generating services to improve reliability, performance, high-availability and flexibility scalability is the key can give them a competitive advantage.
During the past few years, WAN link controllers have emerged as an important technology in addressing WAN and ISP link reliability and performance. WAN link controllers redirect users among multiple network links. Should an ISP or Telco have a service outage, or a WAN link suffer from congestion, the WAN link controller load balances traffic, and automatically re-directs traffic to other functioning network links. Using various link load balancing algorithms, intelligent WAN link controllers direct traffic to WAN links that offer the best possible performance. To further enhance the user experience, advanced WAN link controllers provide VPN load balancing and failover, site-to-site channel bonding and even built-in firewall and VPN technology. By integrating all of these capabilities into a single affordable device, organizations are able to get high-value and performance, while reducing complexity.
The service provider value-proposition
Ecessa leads the industry in driving the price/performance value for link-based WAN optimization controllers to levels that SME customers can afford – while providing service providers, agents and resellers with opportunities for new revenue-generating services. Ecessa’s PowerLink™ and ShieldLink provide 100% uptime at one-third the cost of other competing products. With their versatile and powerful architecture, PowerLink and ShieldLink provide the highest value, while enabling customers to optimize Internet-based infrastructure to conduct business and communicate with customers, employees and partners.
Until recently, even basic WAN link aggregation was cost prohibitive for small-to-medium sized enterprises. This left a large void in the WAN optimization market for small-to-medium size enterprises that were not able to find adequate, high-value products that met their needs, and that were priced within their financial means.
However, that has all changed with Ecessa’s introduction of PowerLink and ShieldLink, delivering powerful, stable, full-featured inbound and outbound WAN and ISP link aggregation, load balancing and failover, and VPN load balancing and failover within a single device. Ecessa’s products provide an additional layer of protection by shielding end-users from ISP outages and WAN link bottlenecks, enabling network administrators to automatically direct users away from failed or degraded WAN links to ensure uptime and performance requirements. At a starting price of only $1,295, including 90 days of free service and support from U.S.-based factory technicians, a 30-day money-back guarantee, and a three-year warranty, the Ecessa family of products brings affordability and advanced technology to service providers and service provider agents.
