The LB-1100E enables the use of any ISP link including low-cost circuits such as DSL and cable modems and the use of wireless links like 3G mobile access and WiMAX as well for efficent link balancing. By combining links for incremental bandwidth, users of the LB-1100E realized significant gains in productivity, uptime and a reduction of operational costs through link load balancing.

Like the Elfiq enterprise products Quality of Service (QoS), traffic segmentation, SIP awareness, inbound traffic management and advanced balancing algorithms are included in the LB-1100E to provide optimized bandwidth based on organizational requirements and policies. Should the unit lose power, traffic is enabled to flow with Elfiq’s innovative LAN Failsafe feature.

ElfiqThe LB-1100E also enables the use of Elfiq’s bandwidth virtualization technology SitePathMTPX, which enables point to point application resilience with performance enhancement. This feature is ideal for site to site VPN tunnels and voice over IP (VoIP) deployments.  The LB-1100E units are delivered with a 1U mounting kit.

Testimonials

   

The Andaz hotel brand is about making things as simple as possible but not simpler. Elfiq's devices fit our motto perfectly. The 550E was sent to us configured for our network so it could be plug and play. Other devices tested needed days of configuration "tweaking" and ultimately couldn't meet the performance, reliability and redundancy requirements we have at one of the most technologically centric hotels in North America.

When we needed to make configuration changes, the highest level support engineers made themselves available out of business hours.

The features of Elfiq devices can be fully harnessed with the support of the brilliant engineers or any knowledgeable network engineer who can familiarize themselves with the common command language.

"Formed Fiber Technologies is North America's largest and most innovative manufacturer of needle-punched non-woven fabrics and polyester staple fibers.

Our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system services two other sites where the manufacturing process is 24X7/365.  In the past, when a problem occurred on our WAN, the remote sites slowed to a crawl – additional resources were necessary to back-fill information, and shipments were delayed, costing the corporation valuable time and money.

To overcome wasting resources, we performed research on available products, and found that the Elfiq Link Load Balancers were not only affordable, but would support our unique requirement for a meshed secure VPN infrastructure, and Voice over IP throughout the enterprise.

During the planning and implementation phases of our deployment, the highly qualified Elfiq Networks’ support team provided us with the knowledge and understanding of the devices, as well as with flexible implementation schedules that would cause the least disruption to our manufacturing process.

Since implementation, our network has been up and running, even during two scheduled WAN maintenance windows.

I am very pleased with the products and support that I have received from Elfiq Networks and would recommend them to any industry that requires high WAN availability."
