New Product Line Routes and Manages Traffic Across Multiple Internet Connections
Barracuda Networks Inc. today launched the Barracuda Link Balancer, an affordable and powerful solution for routing and managing traffic across multiple Internet connections. Available in three models, the Barracuda Link Balancer optimizes the use of multiple Internet links, such as T1s, T3s, DSL and cable connections from one or multiple Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Capable of automatic failover in the event of link failure, the Barracuda Link Balancer ensures that customer networks are always connected to the Internet.
“Fast and reliable Internet connectivity is central to the majority of mission-critical business applications,” said Stephen Pao, vice president of product management for Barracuda Networks. “The Barracuda Link Balancer enables organizations to simply ‘add-on’ additional Internet connections for both speed and redundancy without other changes to their network environment.”
The Barracuda Link Balancer’s Web user interface allows administrators to define, manage and control bandwidth settings from one central location. Administrators can also view graphical traffic statistics to analyze hourly, daily or monthly usage. Clients and applications can be set permanently or for a predetermined period of time to be connected to specific links.
The Barracuda Link Balancer automatically detects Internet connection failure and enables service restoration. Tracking connections by saturation, availability, latency and performance, the Barracuda Link Balancer makes informed decisions to select the best link to handle Internet traffic without intervention from an administrator.
