Enterprise-class Internet Link Balancing for the SMB

Brings enterprise-level performance and features to small businesses around the world to proactively manage ISP links.

The LB-550E Link Balancer 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. By combining links for incremental bandwidth, users of the LB-550E realize significant gains in productivity, uptime and a reduction of operational costs.

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-550E 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.

The LB-550E Link Balancer can be upgraded to the LB-1100E Link Balancer model through software should the needs of the organization require more ISP links, greater throughput, private link management and/or SitePathMTPX.  The LB-550E comes with a 1U mounting kit.

"Hersha Hospitality has been using Elfiq load balancing products for over six months. We have fallen in love with the Elfiq products and service. Elfiq not only provides an excellent product to meet increasing guest bandwidth needs, their staff also go above and beyond from the start of the sales process, through implementation, and for support.  Hersha plans to continue to deploy the Elfiq products throughout our hotels in 2008."

As a leading healthcare claims management organization, we rely on internet access to deliver quality healthcare services. We brought Elfiq link balancers into our environment to proactively manage bandwidth and ISP carriers for our outbound internet traffic and gained valuable increased throughput in the process. We are very happy with the result and plan on acquiring more units in the future.

"The Elfiq LLB has allowed us to sustain high availability and increased throughput that would not have been otherwise possible, especially for VPN access and in countries where Internet technology has very limited and expensive access."
