WAN Link Trunking
AscenLink implements intelligent auto-routing algorithms to dynamically balance outgoing traffic to multiple WAN links. It does not require configuration of complex routing tables the way normal routers do, hence minimize the effort of MIS. AscenLink supports different types of WAN connections, such as lease line (e.g. T1, E1), broadband (ADSL and cable modem), ISDN, et cetera. By using AscenLink to replace expensive lease lines with multiple broadband links, corporations can save substantial WAN connection fees while maintaining high reliability at the same time.
WAN Fault Tolerance
AscenLink constantly monitors the status of WAN links. Should a WAN link break down, AscenLink would detect this situation in real time, send email notification to MIS, and redirect subsequent traffic to remaining healthy WAN links. Likewise when a broken link comes back on line, AscenLink can detect its presence instantly and start routing traffic back to it. Everything is automatic. Neither human involvement nor ISP reconfiguration is required.
Link Report software add-on
LinkReport is a powerful software tool for analyzing and reporting WAN connectivity. It is closely integrated with AscenLink to provide two types of analytical reports, depending on the administrator's requirements:
1. Daily Analysis (bandwidth utilization/ bandwidth statistics)
2. Advanced Analysis (group categories/service/source IP address/destination IP address)
Furthermore, the reporting period can be scheduled on a monthly, weekly, or daily basis, at the choice of the administrator.
