Part 4: FatPipe SD-WAN for Executive Leadership

What Executive Leadership Should Look for in a Good SD-WAN: Part 4 of our SD-WAN Series

We are back with yet another blog “What Executive Leadership Should Look for in a Good SD-WAN: Part 4 of our SD-WAN Series” for this SD-WAN series. Join us in understanding how FatPipe is beneficial to Executive leadership and their teams.

Business Continuity and Resilience

FatPipe SD-WAN fulfills the resiliency objectives of CEOs to improve upon the Network Service Level parameters and to reduce downtimes to almost zero with 99.998% availability. These improvements are possible due to exclusive FatPipe patents providing seamless automatic failover and link aggregation across divergent media facilitating undisturbed operations. Our centralized management, zero touch configurations, and real-time analytics enable proactive issue resolution and ensure critical business processes remain operational.

Network Transformation with Reduced Overall TCO

In this cloud-first world and where user experience has become more important than ever, FatPipe provides network transformation with an innovative state-of-the-art technology at reduced total cost of ownership (TCO). FatPipe SD-WAN’s non duplication of bandwidth for seamless failover has potential to save bandwidth costs by 50% with flexibility through application-aware routing and centralized architecture for deployment of mission-critical applications.

Secure Network

FatPipe secures enterprise network using its patented blockchain-type data transmission technology along with several other security features including intrusion detection/prevention, URL filtering, DNS filtering, and antivirus, to provide total 360-degree security. FatPipe also provides cloud-based security.

Enhanced End User Experience and High-Quality Support

With customers and workforce engagement being considered as a major yardstick for business health, FatPipe SD-WAN offers improved network performance besides supervising network connections for quality. This boosts end users’ experience who benefit from application tools too for a seamless experience. FatPipe 24*7 support and AI-based support is always there when customer need them most at critical times to immediately restore the broken parts.

Comprehensive Reporting of Network, Security, Compliance and Regulatory Monitoring

FatPipe EnterpriseView® provides the ability to monitor, manage, and maintain all FatPipe devices from a central location. Branch offices can have consistent policies downloaded to the edge device which helps in maintaining regulatory compliance. FatPipe provides zero touch install for branch and edge devices reducing IT workloads manifold.

FatPipe SD-WAN solution is backed by best partnerships, ensuring seamless integration with industry-leading technologies. We provide proactive support for enterprises, thereby delivering unmatched reliability and performance. With time-tested products and solutions, we empower CEOs and their teams to achieve strategic business goals with confidence and agility.

Control, Prioritize, Shape and Optimize WAN Traffic with FatPipe Multiline QoS

In a busy corporate network, imagine a scenario where real-time voice/video and critical business applications contend with routine tasks for bandwidth. This is an unavoidable situation sometimes but it results in stakeholders’ dissatisfaction and business monetary loss. Traffic prioritization resolves this by intelligently assigning priority levels, optimizing data flow, and refining overall network efficiency. FatPipe SD-WAN employs traffic prioritization for assurance that packets are transported from a source to a destination with certain characteristics corresponding to the requirements of the service that the packet flow supports. FatPipe SD-WAN also dynamically routes traffic through the most efficient path and adjusts real-time prioritization.

FatPipe traffic prioritization ensures the user assigns a certain amount of bandwidth to each type of traffic, and it is defined by committed rate (CR) and Burst rate. Committed rate of a traffic type defines the amount of bandwidth guaranteed to be available for that type of traffic at any time the associated link is up. Burst rate is required for QoS and defines the upper limit for bandwidth that can be made available to the traffic type. This helps maintain a fair and efficient use of the company’s Internet resources.

FatPipe Traffic Prioritization using QoS

FatPipe’s traffic prioritization controls the traffic volume entering a network using Quality of Service (QoS) policies. FatPipe QoS also controls incoming network traffic by letting the user limit the rate at which the LAN receives traffic from each WAN link. While this does not help conserve bandwidth, it can help reduce unwanted connection-oriented traffic. The Inbound Policed Rate defines the limit above to which all incoming traffic that it applies will be dropped. FatPipe QoS can classify packets based on the application they belong to. FatPipe QoS can also work with application-specific information regardless of port numbers used by transport protocols. FatPipe SD-WAN also provides the capability of scheduling QoS policies for eg., if the Chairman of Company wants to have company-wide Video Conferencing on a specific date and time in the future, the QoS policies can be configured to give priority to Video traffic on that particular date and time providing peace of mind to network administrators.

Multiline QoS combined with Link Load Balancing

FatPipe’s improved Multi-line QoS technology includes application layer multi-lineQoS (layer 7) in addition to the networking layer where you can assign bandwidth by IP orport (layers 3 and 4). Unlike traditional Multi-line QoS, FatPipe Multi-line QoS is combined with link load balancing, which ensures that rules are applied to additional or secondary lines when a failure occurs to your primary WAN line, providing redundancy for your WAN infrastructure data transmissions.
