Ecessa soln helps increase bandwidth capacity

PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA: Ecessa, a leader in affordable WAN link controllers for small-to-medium sized enterprises (SMEs), announced that SMEs can now use its PowerLink WAN link aggregation products with low-cost DSL and/or cable links to increase bandwidth capacity by more than 350 per cent with a significant improvement in network performance at the same or lower cost as they pay for a T1 line.

Alternatively, SMEs can use Ecessa’s affordable WAN link aggregation products to maintain existing capacity at a significantly lower cost, which can yield a complete return on investment within four months.

SMEs currently rely on Ecessa for WAN link aggregation that provides redundant link access and can provide 100 per cent Internet up time at an affordable price. Additionally, customers are now finding that aggregating multiple, diverse Internet links from one or more ISPs can reduce the need to purchase multiple expensive high-speed links. This enables increased bandwidth by using cost-effective links without compromising up time.

PowerLink provides the flexibility to use any type of network connection such as satellite, cable, DSL, wireless, etc. Additionally, WAN link aggregation with load balancing can make under-utilized WAN links highly optimized, bringing added efficiencies to a WAN network infrastructure.

“An affordable link aggregation solution is a relatively simple ROI decision,” said Jason Breyer, vice president of sales for Ecessa. “By installing a PowerLink WAN link controller, SMEs can replace a T1 line with two DSL lines, and save $7,205 per year in T1-associated costs even after fully accounting for the cost of the PowerLink. These savings for businesses translates to 60 per cent overall savings for the first year and 85 per cent savings for each year thereafter.”

PowerLink’s bandwidth cost savings are in addition to any savings associated with eliminating downtime for business-critical, time-sensitive applications. An 8-hour network outage at peak business hours could be detrimental to a business, especially an SME. Accordingly, many organizations are quickly recognizing that redundant link access at a reasonable price is a requirement.
