The following is a list of advantages that the EdgeXOS platform delivers over its competitors in the market, specifically in the areas of WAN Load Balancing, QoS & Rate Shaping, and Site2Site VPN Optimization.
Designed for scalability… The Edge appliances typically have up to twice the performance of similarly priced solutions. These performance statistics are based on the route processing capability, the amount of system memory, and the report storage capabilities of the appliance.
