LinkProof LinkProof

From maximizing productivity to ensuring continuity when disaster strikes,

enterprises, higher education institutes, and Internet service providers

require uninterrupted access to Web sites, data centers, remote locations

and the Internet. LinkProof is a multi-WAN switch that lets you maximize the

effectiveness of your WAN by bypassing bottlenecks and service-provider

outages, managing bandwidth consumption, and letting you decide which

links are used for which applications and when.

It’s the only 16Gbps on demand solution that fits your current and future

WAN link load balancing needs and lets you effortlessly add, manage and

load-balance multiple ISP connections while you mix-and-match VPNs, private

and public links for back-up or in response to growing bandwidth needs.

The result? Flexibility to build a best-of-breed WAN solution that keeps costs

down and keeps customers and users always connected to business-critical

applications and Web sites for years to come.

End-to-End LinkProof Solution

“Radware’s

LinkProofs have the

capacity to handle

more traffic than we

can foresee for many

years to come.”

– Greg Sherrow,

Web Technical Manager,

LinkProof

Real-Time Health Monitoring, Failure Detection and Traffic Redirection

Quickly identify failures at any point along the transaction path and react proactively, by automatically redirecting in-bound and out-bound traffic to available WAN paths to the data center.

Active-Active or Active-Passive Link Redundancy

Take full advantage of back-up link bandwidth and verify all links are available for immediate fail-over.

Active/Passive Device Redundancy

Prevent the introduction of a single point of failure by operating a high-availability architecture.

Feature The APSolute Advantage

“Since we installed LinkProof, our

students and faculty have been able

to conduct day-to-day activities and

research without any interruption. It

has allowed us to offer expanded

web hosting capabilities, which has

resulted in greater streaming and

cloud computing opportunities, and a

higher level of user satisfaction.”

– Joseph Compagno,

Director of Strategic Infrastructure Development, New York Law School

Ensure Availability of Data Center Applications

Has data center consolidation placed all your application “eggs” in one basket? Perhaps you can’t afford a single minute of downtime from your revenue generating Web site, online applications or corporate extranet. Smart business sense dictates you manage the availability of your WAN and not rely solely on your service provider’s SLAs. LinkProof lets you introduce active-backup links to support your business continuity strategy. Real-time health-checks of all available WAN paths ensure immediate failover to a functional link in the case of service outages, so your data, applications and Web site are available 24x7.

Business-Oriented Scalability

and Multiple WAN Link Management

redundancy in your WAN links and application access without wasting resources. Increase bandwidth to data centers or remote sites using cost-effective links without compromising up-time.

Inbound and Outbound Proximity-Based Routing

Guarantee best path selection for inbound/outbound traffic.

Link Load-Balancing

Dynamically deliver both incoming and outgoing traffic via the most efficient link available.

Bandwidth Management and Traffic shaping

Align link and network bandwidth with business objectives.

• Patented proximity checks combine latency detection and hop count, guaranteeing inbound/outbound traffic is always passed over the best performing link

• Guarantee quality of experience (QoE) and SLAs for internal/external users • User-defined, priorities for load-balancing decisions based on real-time user and application measurements

• Load-balances firewalls sitting behind

• Maximize infrastructure investment and operational resources • Delay WAN expansion decisions

• User defined and predefined classes include over 40 common applications, and ToS or Diffserv bits

• Limit/guarantee bandwidth per class, user

• Bandwidth management mechanism can squelch malicious traffic to ensure availability of critical applications

• Ensure top-priority and business-critical applications always receive the bandwidth they need

Feature The APSolute Advantage

Supports Multiple IP Address-Spaces and Multiple Link-Types from Different ISPs

Easily integrate new ISP links without the need to coordinate IP addresses or create peering agreements.

Mix-and-match any type of IP terminated connectivity.

“Add-Link-As-You-Grow” Approach

Minimize the investments in connectivity while maintaining the flexibility of adding additional links on demand.

On Demand Platform Scalability

Seamlessly upgrade platform throughput as more bandwidth is needed.

Cost-Based Routing

Take advantage of varying ISP rate structures to minimize monthly connectivity costs.

• Intelligently redirect traffic amongst links according to user-defined application priority and sensitivity

End-to-End Headquarters to Branch Office Offering

As more companies strive to consolidate multiple data centers more and more applications get relocated from remote branches into the main data center. The move from a dispersed application configuration to a consolidated one requires enterprises to allow secure access from remote branches into the main data center. In parallel, companies strive to reduce the amount of network devices which must be installed in remote branches, in an effort to reduce the costs associated with purchasing and maintaining multiple network devices. Using LinkProof in conjunction with Radware’s branch offering – LinkProof Branch – allows you to seamlessly connect remote branches to the main data center. The combination of LinkProof and LinkProof Branch provides best-of-breed, multi-WAN link load balancing of private, leased and VPN lines.
