2 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 downtime from your revenue generating Web site or corporate extranet. Maybe your disaster recovery plans require employees unfettered access to the VPN gateway from their home computer. 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. Now adding bandwidth can be done in an easy and cost efficient manner Radware s LinkProof eliminates all of the complexities of multi-homing design providing a single, easy to manage appliance that intelligently utilizes all Internet links optimally.
