Fail-Over, Line Redundancy, Traffic Management, Bandwidth Utilization, Line/Provider Flexibility

Companies are becoming more and more dependent on the internet to achieve their day-to-day goals. Email and web-based core applications are more prevalent, and present new network challenges. Specifically, the need for increased bandwidth and the reliability to ensure mission critical applications are always available. Historically, the only way to accomplish this was to maintain multiple internet lines and bond them together for greater speed, or to pay for a large capacity contract to ensure connectivity at peak utilization periods.

Though adequate for speed, line bonding was not able to address redundancy. That required additional lines - often remaining dormant (but paid for each month) until they were needed. This method of redundancy was an expensive insurance policy at best.

These solutions presented many challenges and demanded significant resources while failing to offer true flexibility or real-time fail-over redundancy. The e.Solutions Line Management System provides a comprehensive solution for companies at an affordable price.

	Line Fail-Over / Redundancy - Maximize network availability via redundant lines - Minimize affect of downtime due to provider failure
	Traffic Management - Distribute traffic by session, priority and/or rule (up to five) - Real-Time monitoring for spikes /abuse
	Bandwidth Utilization - Increase available bandwidth via multiple active lines - Force non-critical traffic (i.e. web surfing) out designated gateway - No more dormant unused lines

	Multiple / Diverse Line and Provider Flexibility - T1, DSL, Cable, Wireless - take advantage of multiple formats - Reduce dependency on single provider, line or medium - Manage risk by utilizing new technology - Downgrade expensive circuits in favor of multiple lines
	Full Function Security Firewall - Triple Data Encryption (3des) - Intrusion prevention - DHCP client/server - DHCP relay - NAT/PAT support - PPPoE support - VPN throughput - Stateful inspection firewall - Advanced application and protocol inspection - Site-to-site VPN
