Datacenters


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. 

Feature Description Benefits

  • Provides a redundant telecom infrastructure
  • More ISP links add more performance for WAN-based Microsoft products
  • Enables bandwidth provider diversification to prevent downtime

iDNS
Elfiq

 Balance inbound traffic
  • Proactively distributes traffic for remote users and applications
  • Provide failover capacity for remote users

Intelligent Service Verificator
Elfiq ISV

 Proactively distribute traffic to the best available servers
  • Ensures data requests are sent to servers operating normally
  • Prevents requests from being sent to slow or inactive servers
Intelligent Condition Verificator
Elfiq
 Enables complex condition-based configuration
  • Existing configurations can be dynamically adjusted based on selected criteria
  • Common usage includes usage of links based on cost, altering priorities based on link conditions or failure and statistics reset
