Voice over IP is becoming widespread in the business world, introducing new functions and cutting costs compared to the traditional solutions they replace. To ensure connectivity and uptime for this critical business asset, IT managers must proactively plan for outage contingencies.

The Elfiq Link Balancer is a great choice for achieving this objective. The ability to use multiple IP links of any type concurrently will make failures due to WAN link outages a thing of the past. A sound strategy to maximize uptime and availability is to use at least two links from different providers and different technologies managed by an Elfiq Link Balancer.

In multisite VoIP implementations over private WAN links, Elfiq’s advanced WAN load balancing provides site-to-site link resilience. This allows load balancing and failover between multiple site-to-site WAN links and the use of QoS markings to ensure the quality of VoIP communications.

Additionally, in multisite VoIP implementations over VPN tunnels, Elfiq’s SitePathMTPX technology provides point to point link resilience. Should a link fail, the VPN connection between two sites will remain active over the remaining links, and communications will not be interrupted.
