Redundancy, Additional Security, and Speed for Your
VPN
By Brett Burney
Virtual private
networks (VPNs) have become all the rage at many law firms because they
cost much less than traditional wide area networks and remote access
solutions. But because VPNs work across the Internet, reliability and
security are concerns. FatPipe Networks puts these concerns to rest with
its FatPipe MPVPN network appliance. The FatPipe MPVPN transmits data over
two or more lines, providing the highest possible uptime for your VPN even
when an ISP experiences an outage or a router fails. Furthermore, thanks
to its multi-homing capabilities, the FatPipe MPVPN can boost your VPN's
speed by 300% or more, depending on how many lines you add to the network.
And thanks to SmartDNS, a patent-pending technology, the FatPipe MPVPN
automatically load balances across all your firm's data lines. Regarding
security, FatPipe's patented "Multi-Path Security" disassembles and
reassembles your data, making it virtually impossible for hackers to
eavesdrop on your communications (statistically speaking, it makes your
VPN up to 900% more secure than is typically the case). Other features
include Web-based management tools that you can access remotely (including
rebooting), emergency e-mail and pager alerts, auto failover, reverse
mapping (which enables you to direct traffic to specific servers), and
proxy ARP (which reduces setup time). The FatPipe MPVPN comes in several
flavors, including a 2Mbps model and a 155Mbps model, both of which come
standard with 4 network WAN cards. All models are SNMP-ready and come with
a 1 year warranty and 90 days of free technical support. Learn more about FatPipe
MPVPN.
