With
globalization and the emergence of digital
economy, businesses must stay competitive by providing
non-stop provision of real-time response. There
is a desperate need to ensure Business Continuity
i.e. no matter what happens, businesses must continue
as usual. There are many factors to consider in
ensuring business continuity:
- Internet/WAN Continuity
- Application and Database
Continuity
Bandwidth
Load Balancing/Failover
With the reliance
of HQ-branches and B2B connectivity, enterprises
cannot afford to have any Internet/WAN downtime.
With this in mind, the best promise to ensure
this possibility is to connect with multiple connection
links.
WAN Load Balancing
empowers you with the ability to combine multiple
Internet/Private WAN links without any ISP cooperation.
It allows you to combine different WAN technologies
to be used as if its one single connection.
Below is an
overall description of multiple benefits:
- Load Balancing of
Inbound Outbound WAN traffic (including Hosting
of Application over multiple links);
- Routing of different traffic
over different WAN link (based on Application,
Destination IP Address and Source IP Address);
- Setting of Priority + Max/Min
Traffic over different links;
- Redundancy of Inbound/Outbound
WAN traffic;
- VPN Load Balancing
Most importantly,
it allows you the ability to keep the existing
configurations on your Firewall and Routers. You
can increase the number of WAN connections without
worrying about the need to change IP addresses.

Application
and Database Load Balancing/Failover
With the ascending
importance for business applications, it is the
responsibility of every IT department to ensure
their uptime. In terms of this aspect for business
continuity, businesses can avoid failure by providing
redundancy for Application and Database servers.
Below is an
overall description of multiple benefits:
- Load Balancing and
Failover of Application Servers to provide redundancy
and additional processing power;
- One single Virtual IP for
multiple Servers;
- Intelligent routing of application
traffic to the application server;
- Sychronization of Database
between Database Engine (even between Microsoft
and Oracle);
- Load Balancing and Failover
of Database Engine to provide redundancy and
additional processing power;
- Load Balancing and Failover
of Application and Database Servers across Wide
Area Network (provision for Disaster Recovery)
With Application
and Database Load Balancing/Failover, enterprises
can be assured of their business continuity.
