About Omnirange Plus Multi-Path Technology
Asce Networks has long provided high
availability and load balancing software for network servers. High
availability eliminates the single points of failure within the
network and load balancing ensures maximum throughput. The next
single point of failure is the ISP itself.Now, larger organizations
can use multiple ISPs to eliminate single points of failure. Omnirange
Plus is the first firewall and VPN to provide secure connections
and load balancing between multiple ISP connections through its
use of Asce Networks' unique Multi-Path technology. Load balancing
the actual ISP connection is a cost-effective solution as administrators
can choose the least expensive connection, whether it be an ISP
connection or a leased line.
Omnirange Plus's Multi-Path technology
enables Asce Networks to provide the first complete, end-to-end
high availability and security solution to provide load balancing
and high availability from the corporate Intranet out to the Internet
connections. Omnirange Plus's Multi-Path functionality actually
load balances the Internet connections and is the first firewall
to ensure load balancing for both inbound and outbound traffic.
Asce Networks' Multi-Path technology is designed to enable optimized
network performance by always choosing the fastest path for traffic.
Unlike any firewall available today, Omnirange Plus has the capability
to handle well over 300,000 concurrent connections at wire-speed
and can be used for both VPNs and Internet access.
"There is a growing need in high-end
ISP, MSP and telecommunications markets for an advanced firewall
and VPN solution," said Chris Christiansen, Vice President,
Internet Security Software, IDC. "Asce Networks' Omnirange
Plus with its Multi-Path functionality is very well positioned to
meet those types of demanding network requirements."
