Futuriom 2019 SD-WAN Growth Report

Customers require continuity of their connections so that critical transactions are completed and do not have to be repeated. FatPipe provides sub-second failover in the WAN that complements Extreme SDN Fx's sub-second failover in the LAN. Traffic-steering and failover are reduced to 200 ms or less. MPSec performs deep packet inspection and parses packets to find the optimal path; and sub-second failover provides session-connectivity without having to restart the session in the case of line failure, thereby reducing potential traffic security concerns. Critical transactions—credit card, patient information, and other continuity-required transactions—remain up and stateful without the need for resending, which benefits retail, health care, financial, and any institution that uses electronic payment exchanges.

Customers require dynamic use of their multiple connections in an Active-Active or Active-Active-Active state. FatPipe provides connectivity using any combination of MPLS, broadband, wireless or satellite connections. FatPipe load balances across these multiple paths and split-tunnels the internet traffic to the public cloud for access to public servers. With bur stability of traffic to any additional bandwidth that may be on a backup path, FatPipe augments the bandwidth on the primary path. This benefits companies with an MPLS network or multiple dedicated internet connections by allowing the use of all available bandwidth. For manufacturing, SOHO and retail companies, as well as branch offices where having a large pipe may not make operational or financial sense, FatPipe offers the option to utilize backup paths actively rather than just standing by passively.
