FatPipe Networks Releases Two New Router Clustering Devices at NetWorld+Interop 2001 Las Vegas

FatPipe® Networks' Multi-Path VPN provides nine times the security for VPNs and WARP provides three times the redundancy, reliability and speed for access to corporate and ASP servers

LAS VEGAS, NV: May 9, 2001- FatPipe® Networks, the leading developer of router clustering devices for reliable, redundant and fast Internet/WAN connections, announces the release of two new products, Multi-Path VPN and WARP at NetWorld(SM) +Interop® 2001 Las Vegas.

Both FatPipe Multi-Path VPN and WARP products provide the highest level of redundancy, reliability and speed for WAN infrastructures using FatPipe's patented technology, Redundant Array of Independent Lines. RAIL T bonds any combination of multiple connections of T3, E3, T1, E1, DSL or Wireless connections creating a virtual "fatpipe" for aggregate speed over multiple ISPs and backbones for redundancy, without BGP programming or equipment at the ISP site.

FatPipe Multi-Path VPN
Multi-Path VPN takes any VPN network and makes it nine times more secure and three times more reliable and redundant. Multi-Path VPN dynamically load balances incoming and outgoing data traffic over multiple ISPs and backbones without any ISP cooperation or the more traditional BGP programming. No additional equipment is needed at the ISP site.

Multi-Path VPN is compatible with IPsec and other encryption protocols and features FatPipe's patent-pending multi-path transmission technology called Multi-Path Security (MPsecT), providing up to nine times more security as it sends packets along multiple data paths. Multi-Path VPN is available in three speeds, 135 Mbps, 50Mbps, and 2Mbps.

FatPipe WARP
FatPipe WARP provides high levels of redundancy of inbound and outbound IP traffic over a WAN. Companies that host servers internally, including e-mail, Citrix, and Intranet/Extranet servers benefit from WARP's dynamic load balancing of incoming and outgoing data traffic as well as high bandwidth without the need for BGP programming or ISP cooperation. WARP is available in two speeds - 50 Mbps and 135 Mbps.

Multi-Path and WARP share new technology, including FatPipe's SmartDNST, which dynamically load balances inbound IP traffic providing high levels of redundancy and reliability. Both products aggregate multiple lines into one "fatpipe" for greater speed. Another feature, Reverse Port Mapping, allows companies to conserve IP addresses and direct traffic to specific servers.

"New business models such as VPNs and ASPs have created a strong need for our products," commented Ragula Bhaskar, Ph.D., president and CEO of FatPipe Networks. "It is far too costly to have networks down because of various single points of failure of WAN infrastructures. We give the power of control back to our customers, who clearly understand the need for fast delivery of secure and redundant inbound and outbound IP traffic to have optimal performance of their WAN infrastructures."
