FatPipe Networks Announces the Release of WARP 3.0, Providing the Highest Level of Fault Tolerance for WAN Infrastructures in the Market.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 15, 2003 Fatpipe's Warp 3.0 Highlights a New Load Balancing The fine tuning of a computer system, network or disk subsystem in order to more evenly distribute the data and/or processing across available resources. For example, in clustering, load balancing might distribute the incoming transactions evenly to all servers, or it might redirect them Feature and Several Enhancements to Its Reverse Mapping and Policy Routing Technologies FatPipe Networks(TM), the inventor of router clustering A patented technology of FatPipe Networks, "router clustering" to define bonding of multiple, disparate routers into one device. Router Cluster Two or more routers grouped together to provide any combination of hardware redundancy, service redundancy, load balancing and devices for reliable, redundant and fast Internet/WAN connections, announced today the release of WARP version 3.0. WARP 3.0 is designed to meet the needs of a growing market that requires high levels of WAN connectivity for business continuity. WARP's new load-balancing feature and enhanced technology make it easier for companies to obtain high levels of redundancy, connectivity and speed of WAN connections. Enhancements to WARP's Reverse Mapping and Policy Routing technologies have resulted in improved methods for better control of bi-directional IP traffic. WARP bonds any combination of multiple connections of T3, E3, T1, E1, DSL DSL in full Digital Subscriber Line Broadband digital communications connection that operates over standard copper telephone wires. It requires a DSL modem, which splits transmissions into two frequency bands: the lower frequencies for voice (ordinary , Cable or Wireless connections to create a virtual "fatpipe." WARP achieves WAN fault tolerance by utilizing connections from multiple ISPs and/or backbones for true redundancy, without BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) The routing protocol that is used to span autonomous systems on the Internet. It is a robust, sophisticated and scalable protocol that was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). programming or additional proprietary equipment needed at CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) Communications equipment that resides on the customer's premises. CPE - Customer Premises Equipment or ISP (1) See in-system programmable. (2) (Internet Service Provider) An organization that provides access to the Internet. Connection to the user is provided via dial-up, ISDN, cable, DSL and T1/T3 lines. site. WARP is available in two speeds: 155 Mbps and 50Mbps. "We have added enhancements and new features to our product, WARP, to meet the challenges expressed by our customers whose increasing dependency on WAN infrastructures have resulted in the need for more sophisticated yet easy-to-use router-clustering technologies," said Chief Technology Officer Sanchaita Datta. "The new feature set, combined with WARP's core technologies, provide a cost-effective solution to the common interruptions of Internet services resulting in WAN downtime. WARP affords better tools to control and balance IP traffic over their networks." New Feature Set New Load Balancing Method: A fourth load-balancing method has been added to the current set of available load-balancing options in WARP 3.0. The new method, Fastest Route, determines the fastest path to any given destination by communicating first with the destination site. Fault Tolerance For Remote WAN Users: WARP 3.0 also features an enhanced Reverse Mapping technology that provides redundancy for remote clients using IPSec and PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) A protocol from Microsoft that is used to create a virtual private network (VPN) over the Internet. Remote users can access their corporate networks via any ISP that supports PPTP on its servers. , ensuring connectivity for remote users even when a WAN line failure occurs on the main network. More Control Over Outbound Traffic Flow: WARP 3.0's improved Policy Routing option allows users to direct outbound traffic based on port, IP address or a combination of the two. Ports can be re-ordered in Interface Priority and NAT (Network Address Translation) An IETF standard that allows an organization to present itself to the Internet with far fewer IP addresses than there are nodes on its internal network. can be enabled or disabled per port in both Interface Priority and Interface Specific settings. Fully Supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. MIB-II MIB-II Management Information Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-Based Internets : WARP 3.0 fully supports SNMP MIB-II in addition to sending out SNMP traps, as well as PTR records.
