NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 16, 2001-- Sanchaita Datta, the chief technical officer, vice president of engineering, and co-founder of FatPipe Networks, delivered a keynote speech today at the Technology Managers Forum's Enterprise Forum 2001: Technology Strategies for Business Recovery about FatPipe solutions that prevent WAN downtime for the enterprise.
FatPipe is the creator of router clustering technology that provides redundancy, reliability, and high-speed Internet/WAN access for the deployment of mission-critical, Web-based business applications.
Two hundred members of the Professional Association for IT Managers, comprising of CIOs, VPs and IT directors of large institutions in New York attended the event to ``evaluate management strategies for effectiveness in meeting future disasters,'' according to Priscilla Tate, executive director of Technology Managers Forum.
Datta's keynote address entitled, ``Network Architecture that Survived Disaster,'' concentrated on FatPipe technology's ability to keep WAN infrastructures up and running despite ISP, backbone, line or router failures.
Multiple case studies were presented to illustrate the effectiveness of FatPipe's XTREME, WARP, and MPVPN products, which apply FatPipe's patented technology to bond any combination of DSL, T1, T3, and wireless connections over multiple ISPs and backbones for redundancy and reliability without BGP programming.
Two case studies of New York City clients were highlighted because their WANs remained intact despite failure of a major switch utilized by both institutions that was located at the World Trade Center and destroyed as a result of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.
The law firm, Cravath, Swaine & Moore and the conservatory school, The Juilliard School, had integrated FatPipe units into their networks enabling multiple routing paths over multiple POPs.
The FatPipe devices automatically rerouted IP traffic to the remaining available lines at the time of failure, which did not utilize the POP in downtown New York, effectively keeping their Internet connections up. Both institutions use their Internet connections to deploy mission critical Web-based applications.
``FatPipe products provide solutions that allow companies to continue doing business using their WAN infrastructures even when failures occur to their wide area networks, natural disasters or otherwise,'' said Datta.
``Companies can also take advantage of the other features inherent to FatPipe technology, including efficient delivery of IP packets using FatPipe's dynamic load balancing capabilities, secure transmission of data using FatPipe's MPSec(TM) technology, and management tools that monitor IP enabled devices in the network.''
Datta recently secured two patents that cover the core functionality of FatPipe's technology including FatPipe's Redundant Array of Independent Lines (RAIL(TM)) which bonds multiple WAN connections for aggregate speed, and Multi-Path Security (MPSec(TM)), a feature that provides up to nine times more security of data transmission over VPN paths. Several other patents are still pending.
