This level of customer service is what keeps their customers coming back, and why they get such good word of word advertising. They remain dedicated to serving their customers so well that they would continue to recommend them to others.
Internet Connectivity Insurance for as little as $99/mo.
Their services include:
1) A secondary backup broadband connection (can also be used for load balancing traffic for increased throughput).
2) Their unique Internet redundancy switching appliance which requires no IP address changes and will automatically switch over your Internet connection in the event of a network outage.
3) 24/7/365 monitoring of each WAN link by our network operations center (NOC) with instant responsiveness in the event of a network failure. Let ZeroOutages the troubleshooting process.

BIND DNS Vulnerability, Network Security, Network Security Threats, XRoads Networks
XRoads Networks confirmed today that it is not effected by the recent security vulnerability (find details here) found in most [tag]BIND DNS server[/tag] implementations.
The EdgeXOS platform does not use BIND, unlike some of our competitors, and thus this vulnerability on its face does not directly impact our ActiveDNS solution.
However because of the severe nature of the issue, our engineering team also confirmed that our own ActiveDNS implementation does not suffer from the problems found in the BIND implementation.
A spoke person at [tag]XRoads Networks[/tag] commented that “Our customers should feel confident that their DNS services, based on our ActiveDNS technology, is secure and not subject to this major BIND vulnerability. For customers looking to find a non-BIND solution for their inbound WAN load balancing requirements, we encourage them to take a look at our product offerings.”

“Go with the company that assesses risks for Fortune 500 organizations around the world, The Bohan Group, who selected the EdgeXOS platform after looking at Fatpipe, F5, Radware and others. Any company with a distributed network infrastructure should consider this product.”
Program Overview:
The Problem – Fatpipe has announced a new end-of-life program which requests existing customers to replace their hardware with a new appliance after just 3 years. This is essentially a forklift upgrade at a significant cost.
The Solution - Replace the Fatpipe with an XRoads Networks appliance.
The Results - With an EdgeXOS platform there is no forklift upgrade every 3 years (our MTBF = 7/yrs) and we have a number of unique features not offered by the Fatpipe products, including enhanced shaping, and detailed reporting.
The XRoads Networks Solution:
XRoads Networks delivers over 99.999% uptime without the need of a forklift upgrade every three years..
The Challenge
Finding a solution to network redundancy and WAN load balancing for both inbound and outbound traffic. Added benefits include enhanced traffic shaping with built-in detailed network reporting. The solution must include session persistence and the ability to perform Best Path Routing to critical remote sites. The solution must be SOLID STATE (no critical moving parts), and must provide built-in high availability in the unlikely event of a hardware failure. The solution must be robust enough to handle at least 45Mbps of sustained throughput and be competitively priced with at least !ve Gigabit WAN interfaces.
The Solution
The EdgePRO/XL platforms not only solve the challenges above, but they do so in a manner which does not require forklift upgrades when new !rmware release comes out. The EdgeXOS platform is flash-based, meaning that it is solid state and is highly flexible in terms of firmware upgrades. XRoads Networks prides itself on having some of the most advanced capabilities in its class and has been a market leader in terms of features and functionality for over !ve years. No other solution on the market today has a more extensive feature set.
Their solutions save organizations on the order of $2000-4000/hr. during an outage event, and increases throughput and application responsiveness during normal operating conditions. The ROI and the product in general speak for themselves.
