Load Balancing/ISP Failover
Internet connectivity is at the heart of every business. Enterprises rely on the Internet to run the mission-critical business applications that drive their productivity and profits, and they expect Internet connectivity to be highly reliable and always available. If the physical connection or the ISP goes down, organizations vital link to Internet also goes down.
Revenue, customer satisfaction, partner relationships and employee productivity, all are at stake when internet link goes down. Internet outages impact an organizations email, websites, applications or VPN traffic.
GajShield’s ISP Failover & Load Balancing allows enterprises control and distribute traffic across multiple internet links.
GajShield policy based Failover & Load Balancing enables enterprises to distribute important applications over more robust internet links and less important applications over broad band connections as well as provide redundancy incase one more internet links are down.
ISP Link Redundancy – Failover
GajShield ISP Failover manages the traffic while providing valuable failover
capabilities. That way if an internet link fails, GajShield senses the
disturbance and redirects traffic to one of the working internet links.
GajShield checks the health of the available internet connections,
continuously checks the status of all the internet links, detecting failures
in real-time and automatically redirects the traffic to the operational
internet links to guarantee full availability.
Customer can choose a granular option to define the primary internet link
and multiple secondary internet links for each different service. For
example for email the primary link could be ISP1, secondary could be ISP2
and third link could be ISP3, while for FTP the primary could be ISP2,
secondary could ISP3 and third could be ISP1.
ISP Load Balancing
GajShield Load Balancing weighted round robin method and hence it
distributes the traffic across multiple internet link and provides the
flexibility of utilizing the total bandwidth off all the internet links
preventing bandwidth bottlenecks while minimizing the cost of inefficient
bandwidth utilization. At the same time GajShield detects any failure of the
internet link and dynamically load balances the traffic over the available
or Live internet link.
Integrated reporting and Alerts
GajShield reporting provides current, daily, monthly and yearly reports and
trend analysis of ISP utilization, what applications are being used through
the ISP’s and which user is using the ISP. Enterprises can determine misuse
or abuse of internet links by applications and users to effectively utilize
the internet links available and to take informed decisions related to
bandwidth purchase and management. GajShield Alerting mechanism sends email
alerts to administrators keeping them informed on the link outages
facilitating rapid troubleshooting. |
