Law Firm Chooses FatPipe SD-WAN Solution

Firm Uses FatPipe SD-WAN Technology to Achieve Reliability & Redundancy for Its VPN & VoIP Applications by Augmenting MPLS With Dedicated Internet Connections

SALT LAKE CITY, UT–(Marketwired – August 27, 2015) – A leading law firm well known for its public service and pro bono advocacy has chosen FatPipe SD-WAN technology. With over 450 lawyers specialized in litigation and corporate transactions supporting multinational corporations, wide area network (WAN) connectivity is crucial for the firm.

As an integral part of its communications system, the firm deploys a wide variety of services and applications over its WAN. They utilized MPLS circuits to support the primary WAN needs and were looking for a way to increase bandwidth and WAN reliability. The firm did not want to incur the exorbitant costs of additional MPLS circuits. Through extensive research on how to accomplish its objective, the law firm chose FatPipe’s SD-WAN technology.

“We decided to go with FatPipe SD-WAN because we were looking to increase bandwidth, balance load, and have a failover solution using MPLS and Internet connections. FatPipe gave us the flexibility we were looking for, using both private and public lines,” said the Senior Networking Engineer.

The firm combines MPLS circuits and 100 Mbps connections using FatPipe SD-WAN technology at its New York and Washington DC sites, along with two FatPipe devices setup in automatic unit failover mode at its headquarters located in Chicago. It runs many of its applications originating from the corporate office in Chicago, including payroll, accounting and extranets, which is why it has the failover unit cluster. Every office has its own data center and local Exchange servers to support email and local file exchanges such as litigation support applications.

An IPSec VPN tunnel was setup between the offices as an alternative path if the MPLS goes down. Utilizing FatPipe policy routing tools, the firm runs VoIP and backups on the MPLS, while the day-to-day data transfers, emails, and Intranets for clients are active on its VPN using the 100 Mbps Internet connections.

“FatPipe has met our objectives indefinitely,” said the Senior Networking Engineer. “It works beautifully. We have experienced a few circuit failures, and none of our end-users noticed because of FatPipe’s automatic failover. Management is easy too.”

The team also enjoys an excellent working relationship with FatPipe’s technical support staff, knowing that they are available whenever they have questions.

“FatPipe’s SD-WAN technology has performed above our expectations, with no failure whatsoever since deployment,” he added.

FatPipe Announces Zero-Touch, Centrally Orchestrated Enhancement for the SD-WAN Market

SALT LAKE CITY, UT–(Marketwired – July 22, 2015) –

FatPipe Inc, the inventor of software defined networks for wide area connectivity (SD-WAN) and hybrid WANs, announced an enhancement to their product line — FatPipe Symphony with Orchestration

This solution for the hybrid, software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) market is built on FatPipe’s patented MPSec technology which has been deployed in over several thousand customer sites across 6 continents. Symphony enhances MPSec, simplifying deployment with a zero-touch install at the branch. This product comes in 3 different deployment models to meet any enterprise’s security or policy needs. Symphony’s orchestrator can be deployed on premise, in the cloud, or as a service allowing maximum flexibility in deployment, security and cost. FatPipe has been deployed at numerous Fortune 1000 companies as well as smaller companies.

“We are excited to announce a new feature addition to FatPipe’s product offering to further simplify management of a network with multiple branches,” said Ms. Sanch Datta, CTO of FatPipe Inc. “This new feature enhances FatPipe’s current product line by adding the option for zero-touch installation which enables rapid deployment of multiple branch sites and will soon be available to all of our customers.”

“It is exciting to see the market shift toward the hybrid WAN that FatPipe invented and has been evangelizing over the past 15 years,” commented Dr. Ragula Bhaskar, CEO of FatPipe Inc. “Zero-touch deployment will further simplify branch network management for our customers and we are proud to couple it with our portfolio of 11 patented technologies and over 180 technological innovations. Newly emerging SD-WAN companies should be mindful of these patents. With vast experience in deploying over a wide range of networks, FatPipe can actually solve customer problems.”

He further added, “If an end user company is looking at deploying an SD-WAN for their network, it makes sense for them to look at FatPipe first as it has the most mature products, the largest deployment base from DoD to your local companies, and also holds the patents to the space. While newcomers have ‘discovered’ SD-WANs and hybrid networking, end users should look for a stable and profitable company which own the patents in the space so that they do not run afoul of patents. In addition, they have to look at whether the company has local partners who provide local support if needed at the branch locations.”

Zero-touch

In support of this new zero-touch installation option at branch locations, such as retail locations, FatPipe is also introducing new hardware form factors for the retail branch. This combination of central orchestration, zero-touch installation and the new hardware allows for a simple and cost effective way to upgrade branch locations into a hybrid, software-defined WAN.

FatPipe’s Patent for Session Based Outbound Load Balancing

At its simplest definition session based outbound load balancing is the ability to make an intelligent decision on which, of multiple, WAN connections on which to start a session. In today’s networks where multiple WAN connections are becoming more and more prevalent this doesn’t seem like a revolutionary concept, however 1999 that was not the case.

In 1999 Windows NT was still battling Novell Netware for supremacy in corporate IT, there was still a discussion of whether TCP/IP or IPX/SPX would be the network protocol standard, and while most of the world was worrying whether or not computers would stop working on Y2K FatPipe filed for its second patent.

US Patent #6,493,341 was awarded December 10, 2002 and contains 23 technical claims. A simple summary of this patent is a when controller receives a SYN packet destined for an external network, the controller makes a decision based on a least one load balancing criterion as to which WAN router to forward that SYN packet.

The patent is the foundation of all outbound session based load balancing. FatPipe’s technical claims in this patent were recently validated in a Marksman hearing associated with an on-going patent infringement suit.
