Designed to meet and exceed the needs for proactive bandwidth management of organizations which need maximum uptime and performance.

The LB-5000E Link Balancer enables the use of any ISP link including low-cost links, Quality of Service (QoS), traffic segmentation, SIP awareness, inbound traffic management and advanced balancing algorithms are included in the LB-5000E to provide optimized bandwidth based on organizational requirements and policies. With its four gigabit ports, the LB-5000E can accommodate the most demanding projects.

The LB-5000E is designed to deliver maximum uptime for the organization with the use of Elfiq’s LAN Failsafe technology and the ability to use LB-5000E’s in high availability mode for demanding environments.

The LB-5000E 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.

In datacenter environments, the LB-5000E can be used with the optional Global Geolink feature to enable inbound and outbound geographic link balancing to maximize business continuity across multiple physical sites and deliver disaster recovery in seconds.
