The McGinn Group 

"The Elfiq technology was deployed during standard maintenance windows with no interruption of service to the user community.  Since deployment,  The McGinn Group  has experienced two separate instances of ISP outages and leveraging the Elfiq had no down time or loss of productivity.  In fact, the outages went unnoticed for an extended period of time as no interruption of internet connectivity was discovered."

"Once the outages were discovered, it took the ISP significant time to bring their services back on line.  If not for the Elfiq, The McGinn Group would have lost significant productivity."

Theresa Lattimer, Senior Vice President
The McGinn Group    Arlington, VA, USA

Along with its corporate headquarters based in New York, Flack + Kurtz is anchored nationally, in San Francisco, Seattle, Las Vegas; and is very visible internationally, with offices and permanent affiliations in London and Paris, Hong Kong, Sidney and many more cities around the world through its parent company, WSP.

Flack + Kurtz has offices on the east coast and on the west coast, each with increasing network demands. After researching many products on the market, we decided the Elfiq Link Load Balancer was the best product for us allowing us to upgrade bandwidth, increase availability, and support all of our remote users. Using the SitePathMTPX technology, the Elfiq Load Balancers maximized the throughput and reliability of our office VPNs.

We are very pleased with our Elfiq Link Load Balancers."

Van Eck Global 

 "After  the  implementation  of  a  geoclustered  remote  site offering real-time  failover, Van Eck became concerned that communications with that  site  was  hampered by a single T3 uplink from headquarters. The possibility  of  unnecessary failovers and failbacks loomed large, and the  addition of a second T3 brought new problems. We needed different load-balancing logic depending on protocol and source IP: some traffic was to be evenly balanced across all active connections; other traffic needed  to  go  only  over  a preferred connection unless there'd been connection  failure;  still  other  traffic  (geocluster "heartbeats") needed a static path with no balancing.

Only  Elfiq's  LLB  line offered the full functionality necessary, so even  if  price  had  been  no object, Elfiq still would have been our choice  --  but the affordability of the Elfiq was impressive as well.

During   installation   and   beyond,  Elfiq  support  engineers  were responsive around the clock, and developers even hotfixed the OS after we found a site-specific need that wasn't in the current release.

Van Eck's experience with Elfiq on both technical and customer service levels  has  been nothing short of superb. We recommend their products whenever we're asked (and sometimes without being asked!)."
