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.

Global BPO Chooses FatPipe SD-WAN Solution

Call Center Uses FatPipe SD-WAN Technology for Sub-Second Failover of VoIP Calls to Its 50,000+ Employees

SALT LAKE CITY, UT–(Marketwired – August 19, 2015) – A leading outsourcing call center of customer care and back-office processes with offices in 100+ delivery sites in over 20 countries has chosen FatPipe’s SD-WAN technology to fortify its wide area network. The company was losing hundreds of thousands of dollars due to intermittent failures of its VoIP system. The system took up to 30 minutes to restore at locations that experienced line degradation or failure. This halted phone activity between customers and agents. By installing FatPipe SD-WAN technology at multiple sites across the globe the company was able to achieve automatic and intelligent line failover, keeping calls connected even when lines failed without dropping calls or shutting down IP telephones. FatPipe SD-WAN technology assured connectivity to all calls. The agents and customers were not stranded on “dead lines,” losing business and halting productivity. Also, the system did not have to be replaced.

The company was using VoIP over an MPLS network to connect to customers. They were challenged by intermittent VoIP service disruptions and degradations that many times resulted in calls being dropped. Jitter, line degradation and local loop/last mile failures caused major disruptions, this was exacerbated when the main phone switches lost connectivity when a line failed or when it perceived a line was down due to the latency issues.

The IP phones at any location experiencing degradation of services such as jitter, high latency, or a service outage were disconnected from the VoIP system. The call center would have to re-register with the main switch — a process that took up to 30 minutes to restore. The staff, meanwhile, could not work; they had to wait for the phone system to come up.

The company lost over 21,000 hours in productivity, resulting in paying hundreds of thousands of dollars in total paid hours to agents that could not take or make calls. The company needed an alternative solution to purchasing and installing new switches, which would cost millions of dollars. The call center found the answer with FatPipe SD-WAN technology.

FatPipe was installed at various locations around the world to intelligently and automatically failover calls to alternative connections when disruptions or line failures occurred. FatPipe boasts a sub-second failover of VoIP calls, for superior failover capabilities.

FatPipe SD-WAN technology used FatPipe’s patented MPSec VPN tunneling between devices for failover. Calls remained up with no interruption if there was an available line, and held if both lines were down. The switch did not have to re-register IP phones.

FatPipe SD-WAN technology is a non-BGP application, making installation and management easy. The company increased its productivity exponentially, increased customer satisfaction, and agents regained confidence in the system. Lastly, since FatPipe SD-WAN technology works with any type of router, the company did not have to replace its older routers or switches saving millions of dollars.

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.

Answers for Today’s K-12 Network

Summer time fun is over and kids all over the country are going back to school or are already back in school. The image of a small kid hauling a backpack filled with books is fast fading in favor of computer savvy kids with laptop, smart phones, tablets, and ipad’s! Juxtaposed with the rapid movement of teaching, homework assignments, student records on line, etc. are bound to increase the workload and stress of most network administrators.

The Internet plays a vital part of daily activity in today’s K-12 network. Students, teachers and administrators are using this tool as a means of expanding the classroom experience. Network administrators are facing increasing pressure from federal, state, and local regulators to ensure it can meet ever growing demands.

Limitations in access to the Internet and other wide area network resources can affect an institutions ability to meet these directives. Slow speeds and unresponsive systems are sure to raise the heckles of students, teachers and parents alike (not to mention school administrators). Unfortunately, the network admin staff is the first ones blamed. But fear not, planning and the use of technology can assist in overcoming and resolving many network related problems. BYOD, PARCC and other requirements can be met along with a marked reduction in stress. You can learn more from this informative paper.
