Download the Elfiq Business Continuity White Paper

With the growing popularity of datacenters, storage area networks and virtualization, network and telecom decision makers have the ability and opportunity to make data and services available in record time while cutting infrastructure costs. The weakest link on these projects is the telecom infrastructure, where organizations rely on a single link at each site with no ability to ensure continuity when telecom problems occur. 

Datacenters Link Balancers

Elfiq Networks’ products eliminate this strategic problem by enabling the use of multiple public and/or private links to enhance bandwidth performance and add redundancy to the existing infrastructure, thus strengthening datacenter, SAN and virtualization projects. Redundancy can be for a single site with the use of multiple ISP links or multi-site with the use of Elfiq Networks’ innovative SitePathMTPX and Global or Inbound Geolink options. With Elfiq in place, organizations can offer 99.999% uptime to WAN-based services even when telecom can be compromised.
