How FatPipe Solves Network Pain Points for Decision Makers

Imagine this: As the factory floor is the hub for productivity, your production monitoring data cannot afford a halt. Or for that matter, a financial transaction cannot risk a pause. Customer trust cannot be considered trivial, compliance adherence measures cannot be ignored. The reliance on real-time applications poses a mammoth risk to organizations in the form of both technical acumen and business continuity.

Decision makers today face multiple pain points when it comes to managing wide-area networks. Here’s how FatPipe addresses them with practical, field-proven solutions.

The Pain Point: Network Downtime Risks

Why it matters: Even a few seconds of downtime can disrupt VoIP calls, freeze critical video sessions, or delay financial transactions. Legacy failover methods like BGP take too long and cause glaring service glitches.

FatPipe’s Solution

MPSec™ Technology: Seamlessly switches all active sessions – voice, video, or data – to another line in a split second, without renegotiating VPN tunnels to ensure improved SLAs and near close to 99.998% network availability.

Demonstrated in Mission-Critical Environments: Deployed in 911 centers worldwide, where downtime cannot be considered trivial.

LTE/4G Failover Without Drops: Even if your call fails over to LTE, the conversation doesn’t get affected.

The Pain Point: Bandwidth Cost & Overprovisioning

Why it matters: Several organizations overprovision costly bandwidth without being aware of the fact that there are solutions for huge reduction in bandwidth costs.

FatPipe’s Solution:

FatPipe patented load balancing algorithms ensure up to 50% bandwidth savings as compared to other Vendors.

The Pain Point: Resilience and speed in Every Branch

Why it matters: Remote and branch offices must continue with their routine operations even if central control is disrupted.

FatPipe’s Solution:

Intelligent Branch Technology: Keeps branches independently operational until central systems are restored. FatPipe does not use traditional routing protocols to make networks work faster.

For decision makers, the question is not only “what features does an SD-WAN vendor offer?”; it’s “how does this solution mitigate risk, cost, and complexity for my business?”

With over 20 years of experience delivering reliable, redundant, and secure WAN connectivity, FatPipe doesn’t just bring features. It solves the pressing challenges that steals the sleep of decision-makers at night: downtime, cost control, security, compliance, and resilience.

A Key Patented Solution for Inbound Load Balancing

Inbound load balancing is a critical capability that often goes unnoticed by enterprise network engineers, especially in a crowded market where most vendors focus primarily on outbound load balancing solutions. Inbound load balance provides optimum link utilization, link redundancy for incoming traffic, and fault tolerance, ensuring business continuity and disaster recovery. Additionally, this concept performs traffic triage to prioritize and distribute traffic effectively.

  • In an e-commerce platform where customers continue shopping, paying, and checking out, a major ISP outage is no exception. The ideal solution use case distributes inbound traffic across multiple ISP links instantly.
  • Imagine a courier and logistics company where customers can always track their shipments and book services online, even during network link failures. The ideal solution use case is multiple IP addresses across different WAN links, guaranteeing uninterrupted access.

How FatPipe Excels in Inbound WAN Traffic

Most load balancing solutions focus on distributing traffic between servers, not managing how that traffic enters your network. Legacy DNS-based methods rely on static TTL values and slow propagation, whereas BGP brings along with it its own complexity and sluggish convergence.

FatPipe’s approach is different: FatPipe becomes the authoritative DNS for your domain, combining DNS intelligence with real-time WAN edge decisions. This is nothing short of instant failover, session persistence, and true carrier independence. The outcome: public-facing services stay fast, resilient, and always on.

The Significant Role of SmartDNS in Inbound Load Balancing

FatPipe’s SmartDNS performs inbound load balancing with stability, simplicity, and reliability at a lower total cost of operation, saving up to 50% of bandwidth for Enterprises. Multi-link aggregation ensures scalability, so your business can seamlessly handle increasing traffic across multiple WAN connections. Even during outages, seamless session continuity is maintained. This directly leads to the disruption-free operation of mission-critical applications, such as VoIP and video conferencing.

  • FatPipe Smart DNS ensures Site Load Balancing through the distribution of incoming IP traffic between several autonomous sites.
  • FatPipe Smart DNS distributes incoming IP traffic between various links at various sites.
  • FatPipe Smart DNS can automatically sense – a) Failure of a data center and automatic failover to a back-up data center, b) Failure of a server at the datacenter and failover to a backup server and c) Failure of the application in a server and failover to an application at a backup server
  • SmartDNS provides redundancy by allowing the host on the LAN to be accessible through multiple connections.

Businesses demand the level of reliability provided by FatPipe inbound load balancing because uninterrupted connectivity, seamless user experience, and zero revenue loss aren’t an option in today’s environment. To experience this level of reliability, explore how SmartDNS integrates with your existing network strategy.

FatPipe Sandbox: Effectively Containing Email-Borne Threats

Most targeted attacks start with an email, making it the preferred entry point for bad actors. Here is how the threat often begins: on an ordinary Monday morning, an apparently routine email from a trusted partner lands in an employee’s inbox. Busy with work, they open the attachment, unknowingly triggering a cyberattack. Scenarios like this are becoming increasingly frequent in today’s digital environment.

How can businesses defend themselves against these evolving threats? FatPipe centralized Cloud Sandbox is the solution: it detects and neutralizes advanced email-borne attacks before they affect users.

Email Attachments: The Hidden Threat in Daily Operations

Every day, attachments such as invoices, resumes, or proposals can sometimes conceal malware. If these threats remain undetected, they can disrupt your business or compromise sensitive information.

Ongoing threats pose a significant risk to all organizations. Protecting your business and data means staying alert. A single file can grant attackers access to your entire network.

FatPipe Cloud Sandbox: Containing the Threat Before It Reaches the User

All suspicious attachments, regardless of file type (including .zip, .exe, .pptx, or .rar files), are analyzed in a cloud-delivered threat analysis layer.

  • Quarantine acts as a secure holding area for emails with all potentially harmful attachments. The user does not receive the email while it is quarantined.
  • If the attachment is found to be safe after sandbox analysis, authorized personnel can release the email from quarantine for delivery to the user.
  • If the attachment is confirmed to be malicious, the email remains in quarantine and must be deleted. It cannot be delivered under any circumstances.

Comprehensive logs are maintained to provide full transparency and traceability, supporting compliance requirements.

Isolated Analysis for Swift Threat Verdicts

FatPipe Cloud sandbox has advanced capabilities to detect and neutralize zero-day threats by executing files flagged for inspection in a secure, isolated environment. It forwards suspicious email attachments for dynamic behavioral analysis and returns actionable results. During this process, threats embedded within files such as malicious macros, scripts, or URLs are safely executed and closely monitored within a controlled environment. The result: faster threat response, minimal user disruption, and accurate detection of zero-day threats.

Fewer False Positives, Sharper Focus

FatPipe Cloud Sandbox technology targets high-risk formats, thereby reducing the number of false positives. This ensures security teams prioritize real threats and avoid wasted effort on benign alerts.

Delivering Efficiency Where It Matters Most with Analytical Reports

FatPipe Cloud Sandbox rapidly detects and isolates threats before they escalate into major security incidents. Additionally, it provides timely, detailed threat reports to support informed decision-making. Organizations gain the protection security teams need and the precision users expect.

Avaya and FatPipe Partner to improve customer mobile experience

Toll Free is still popular, but using a mobile provides new challenges

Toll-free numbers aren’t going away any time soon. Companies still use them to connect customers to their contact centers. What’s different from a few years ago is that most contact center calls now come from mobile devices. And while companies are confident that they’re providing a good mobile experience, their customers don’t often feel the same.

One problem contact centers face is having to pay for each call going through a toll-free line, whether it originates from a smartphone or a landline. This significantly adds to a company’s operating expenses. The Avaya Mobile Experience (AME), launched in 2018, addresses this problem by lowering toll-free and agent costs. The cloud-based service can send incoming calls directly to a contact center without passing it to a fixed network.

AME identifies when a call is coming from a mobile phone, transfers contextual information on the caller to a contact center, and deflects calls to the mobile web for a richer customer service experience. If a caller chooses that option, the toll-free call ends and they receive a link for personalized access to a website. Customers can then use self-service tools like chatbots or a combination of voice, video, and co-browsing.

SD-WAN provides better visibility

With the proliferation of smartphones, consumers have come to expect a seamless digital experience. When dialing a toll-free number, they want agents to know who they are and have additional context that could speed up the call. AME was designed with those needs in mind. It collects customer information to assist contact center agents, so they can handle a call more efficiently if a customer prefers to interact via voice.

Greater multichannel engagement equips companies with valuable insight about customer behavior. But to pull it off, companies need a reliable network that prioritizes voice over IP (VoIP), video, and other real-time traffic without dropping sessions. By deploying a software-defined WAN (SD-WAN), companies can have better visibility into their network. An SD-WAN performs over any type of transport—including MPLS, broadband, cellular, and satellite—and selects an optimal path for each data packet.

A SD-WAN infrastructure needs reliable internet connectivity with sufficient bandwidth. SD-WANs provide operational flexibility, but also create complexities that stem from implementing WAN load balancing for internal, internet-facing, and mobile workloads. Thus, they require monitoring and tuning internet throughput for performance. A SD-WAN infrastructure must also include secure access to mobile devices as traffic is transported outside the firewall.

FatPipe and Avaya Mobile Experience (AME) helps improve overall customer experience

FatPipe, a provider of intra-corporate WAN solutions, has developed a secure multi-path VPN (MPVPN) to be implemented for hybrid WAN. It supports bidirectional quality of service (QoS), which monitors the sending and receiving of calls/sessions. An advanced routing architecture that utilizes MPVPN can correct up to 15 percent packet loss on diverse circuits simultaneously, while maintaining toll-quality calls and seamless failover.

Contact centers with mobile customers looking to migrate away from high cost MPLS circuits, now have the option of deploying FatPipe’s dual-path SD-WAN for AME. FatPipe and Avaya came up with a combined solution that equips contact centers with a hybrid WAN mobile infrastructure, which can reduce toll call expenses by up 40 percent annually, per FatPipe.

Call center response is vastly improved

The vendors formed a global alliance to help contact centers achieve those cost savings through joint product verification, pre-integration, and certified solutions. Beyond cost savings, the vendors see companies bridging an existing technology gap.

Companies that implement FatPipe’s SD-WAN with AME can control, monitor, and maintain multiple WAN connections, eliminating the need for Internet Service Provider (ISP) management. As a result, smartphone users get more self-service options on a hybrid network that’s flexible and can accommodate new cloud-based applications.
