Industry: Not-for for-profit services organization
Challenges:
- With over 900,000 members to serve, servers must be available to provide online services
- Remote users and affiliated partners must be assured SSL VPN access
- Severe weather conditions cause sudden increases in demand
- Retail applications must be able to connect to suppliers and providers
Solution:
- The Elfiq Link LB-3000 provides the bandwidth, processing power and flexibility required to manage all the links needed to maintain an efficient operation
- Two units are used, one for production and one for testing purposes
- The LB-3000’s LAN failsafe feature will keep traffic flowing even if the unit loses power
- Partner professional services were retained to assist in planning and configuring the LB 3000 units
Benefits:
- CAA-Quebec now has the bandwidth performance it requires to deliver its on-line services at peak performance
- Every time a link is added for increased performance, it is done seamlessly and in a few minutes
- There is no more need for human interaction when a link fails to guarantee uptime, freeing resources and ensuring uptime in key areas
- Performance of Internet-based services is optimal
