Radware (NASDAQ; RDWR) the leading provider of Intelligent Application Switching (IAS), ensuring the availability, performance and security of networked applications across the enterprise announced today the launch of a new multi-homing product - LinkProof Branch. LinkProof Branch extends the LinkProof family all the way to remote offices, delivering an end-to-end multi-homing connectivity solution. With the introduction of LinkProof Branch, Radware addresses all connectivity needs of organizations working with distributed IP applications – delivering full Internet link availability, connectivity cost savings, optimized performance and complete link security.
“Our new multi-homing solution allows enterprise customers to dramatically reduce their branch office connectivity costs while boosting performance and ensuring availability for their mission critical applications,” said Roy Zisapel, CEO and President, Radware. “With full support for VPN connectivity over multi-homed networks, LinkProof Branch also enables our customers to build secure, highly available networks.”
LinkProof Branch is the first and only Layer 4-7 solution to provide distributed networks with VPN and multi-homing capabilities for secure and highly available connectivity. As a result, headquarters and branches can connect over the public Internet or private network. Whether connecting over Frame Relay/MPLS or the public Internet, organizations can enjoy end-to-end load balancing, performance optimization and fault tolerance for their distributed applications.
ADP Dealer Services has partnered with Radware to provide the automotive retail community with a high availability option for its Internet Security program "GetWired". "Dealers have come to rely on the Internet as a vital communication tool to run their business, and can't afford any downtimes or outages. Radware allows ADP to provide our customers with a highly available, secure Internet connection that does not require BGP Services from their ISP. Additionally, we are able to offer the solution to our customers at a reasonable price," said Joe Bihner - VP ADP Network Solutions.
The LinkProof product family is the de-facto standard for multi-homing. Deployed at over 1,200 customers worldwide, it now provides customers with the broadest range of throughputs and platforms, from as little as 5MBits and up to 3Gigabits per second.
"In recent years the Internet has become widely adopted by business of all sizes to serve both internal and external customers. As Internet use has grown, businesses have learned the importance of controlling connectivity costs without harming the level of service that customers demand," said Neil Rickard, Research Director at Gartner. "While larger enterprises have had a solution to these challenges, the remote and branch offices of these enterprises were left without a cost effective solution. As a result, an affordable multi-homing solution for the remote and branch offices will fill a much needed gap."
Radware reseller, The Illumen Group, a provider of internetworking and data communications solutions will be offering LinkProof Branch to customers looking for a connectivity solution that ensures greater returns from their network investments without compromising business performance and security. “Radware’s LinkProof Branch offers an unbeatable enterprise feature set. Since LinkProof Branch comes from the lineage of the successful LinkProof family of multi-homing solutions, we now can offer customers a full range of multi-homing solutions,” said Enrique Krajmalnik, President of the Illumen Group.
