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.
