Microsoft customers to benefit from SD-WAN for Azure

SD-WAN for Azure addresses connectivity issues for users of Microsoft Cloud based real time applications, such as Office 365.

FatPipe’s SD-WAN for Azure, an SD-WAN virtual machine enables Microsoft customers who use Office 365 and other cloud based applications by overcoming the need to reconnect every so often when the sessions break. This is especially important for customers and offices where large groups have to use Office 365 or other cloud-hosted applications, or when a single line connection to Azure is not adequate to address line drop issues.

Using FatPipe’s patented MPSec technology, multinational corporations, embassies and government agencies can use cloud-hosted applications knowing that their traffic is transmitted securely using FatPipe’s cryptographic module, FIPS 140-2, certified by NIST.

Delays and interruptions are reduced with FatPipe’s built in WAN optimization, reducing bandwidth needs and using FatPipe’s QoS gives priority to real time applications.

FatPipe for Azure provides real time Azure cloud offerings including Office 365, AI, Business Intelligence, Azure stream Analytics and Event Hubs where thousands of telemetry data have to be sent to the Azure Cloud. Using FatPipe for Azure, VoIP, video, data and VPN sessions are not dropped, but simply failover to other available lines.

A Global logistics company was looking to migrate real-time applications to Azure and improve performance for their Office 365 users. Using FatPipe’s SD-WAN for Azure, they made this migration securely and easily. “We have been a FatPipe partner for several years, providing connectivity for our customers. We are excited to deploy FatPipe SD-WAN in Azure as we execute on our cloud strategies with our customers” said Aneil Raghunanan, IT Project Manager.

Employees sent home due to carrier line outage

Recently a nationwide CenturyLink outage knocked out 911 voice calls, ATM withdrawals, and hospital patient records. Locally in Salt Lake City, a manufacturing business had to send their employees home costing tens of thousands of dollars in lost business.

Additionally, a major bank could not conduct business as usual as they could not access data or applications located in the Cloud or reach their branches. This is not an “unusual” occurrence. Line Outages are more common with the massive demand on carriers to provide more bandwidth and access to applications and data stored in cloud based centers across the country. Of course, if these businesses had multi-line secure, sub second failover technology installed, none of these disruptions would have occurred. FatPipe’s patented technology has proven itself time and again, most recently with a Chicago based town council, when bad weather caused their primary network to suffer an outage. With FatPipe’s solution, employees did not see any disruption whatsoever, unaware of the major outage. The council called FatPipe, not to register a support call, but to thank FatPipe for their solution that worked flawlessly. Modern networks are more crucial than ever before, especially for mission critical information such as that found in healthcare, financial and local government institutions. FatPipe pioneered technology to keep networks up using any link type, including LTE, 3G,4G,5G, fiber, leased, satellite, DSL, cable, wireless, and Internet.

Cloud-Hosted, Cloud Enabled Unified Communications WAN

Securely Evolving UC and CC with FatPipe SD-WAN for Success in the Cloud

At Avaya Engage, we featured our recently completed Avaya DevConnect test results. Successful UC and CC deployments must be architected on a network with reliable, redundant, load-balanced internet connectivity delivering ample bandwidth. Avaya Aura 8.0 and Avaya IP Office 11.0 combined with FatPipe SD-WAN has been DevConnect tested to complement and extend joint value from premised based and between the cloud or HQ and the branch. FatPipe’s policy engine manages QOS, jitter, latency, and WAN Optimization ensures good call quality and sub-second failover for NO dropped calls.

All About the Cloud

It’s was all about the cloud! FatPipe Networks Dynamic Path Selection of Multiple Active Hybrid wide area network (WAN) paths is an effective Next GEN SD-WAN transformation solution that provides a critical aspect of a diversified hybrid Cloud WAN infrastructure.

Make your Cloud Strategy YOUR Cloud Strategy

cloud strategy

There is no question that the move to the cloud is in full swing. When you read any technical publication, the cloud is all they can talk about. While cloud computing continues to see incredible growth, there are some facts that seem to missed. According to research done by Morgan Stanley, 79% of the computing workload is done on premise. While the number is expected to drop to 56% in 2021, premise-based data centers still carry the bulk of compute workload.

There are some reasons companies keep applications on-premise. These can be security concerns, latency concerns, regulatory concerns or even corporate culture reasons. For whatever reason, it is clear that premise-based computing with continue to be a critical component of the IT infrastructure for the foreseeable future.

While premise-based computing will continue to be part of the equation, it is important to develop your cloud IT strategy. Most companies are adopting a hybrid IT strategy with portions of the compute workload remaining in the promise data center and other portions being outsources to a public cloud. When adopting your hybrid IT strategy, you must customize it to your company to be successful. Consider which applications are most latency sensitive, or have critical security components and strongly consider leaving them on premise. It is important to make your cloud strategy your cloud strategy.

Of course, connectivity is crucial to any cloud or hybrid IT strategy. FatPipe is the expert at hybrid WAN and can help with your hybrid IT strategy. FatPipe has spent nearly two decades developing solutions that are simple, efficient, dynamic & adaptable connections between users, applications, and their data.

These innovations have continued with the announcement of general availability of FatPipe for Azure. FatPipe for Azure allows customers to seamlessly integrate an Azure cloud site into their MPSec/SD-WAN overlay and get the same benefits of MPSec that they get from a premise-based data center. FatPipe ensures that your cloud applications, whether it is Salesforce, Office 365, or Google docs don’t have the quality issues during download, screen refresh, or when the line drops. Latency and jiiter as well as application prioritization is managed by your FatPipe ensuring a better quality experience.
