Elfiq Link Balancers : Ensuring ecommerce availability

  pdf version

Ecommerce has become a key element of many organizations’ ability to reach out and service their customers. Since these Web-based services and applications are mission-critical, ensuring connectivity has become a vital issue, where outages cause significant losses of revenue and potential customers.

Elfiq Networks’ Link Balancers can ensure that Web sites and Internet applications are available by enabling the use of multiple Internet and private WAN links, removing dependence on a single link approach which results in a strategic point of failure.

Elfiq Networks’ Geolink technology enables organizations to guarantee uptime across multiple ecommerce sites, through geographic inbound and outbound balancing. Should a site or the links to a site fail, Geolink will redirect the incoming traffic to a secondary server often located in another geographic location, ensuring availability.

Geolink can also enable the applications to synchronize data across multiple private WAN links, ensuring that data is always up-to-date across multiple sites. Should link failure happen, Elfiq’s Link Balancers will ensure that business continues uninterrupted and revenues continue to roll in.

   

 


          

"We are an Internet Flower Auction that supplies North American Florists. We hold live auctions every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and have been in continuous operation since November 1997. Due to the nature of our business we needed to have an option to provide 100% access to our servers with no disruption. We have turned to Elfiq Link balancer products for their capabilities and value, and we have been very happy with it."
