LAN Failsafe

Elfiq Networks' unique Layer-2 approach enables the installation of Link Balancers without any modification to the existing network, permitting the Elfiq device to relay traffic between the primary link (link which was installed prior to the Elfiq unit) and the network perimeter devices (firewall, HSIA gateway, etc.).

Should the Elfiq unit loose power, all E-Series models and the LB-3000 provide one or multiple pairs of bonded ports to transfer IP packets so normal operations can continue until the unit can be diagnosed and powered on.  When the device is in LAN Failsafe mode, the Elfiq native features are unavailable.

This technology enables affordable business continuity for small businesses and branch offices without the need for redundant link balancer units.  Redundant failover units remain the best approach for environments in which bandwidth availability and incoming services  are critical.
