AscenLink
AscenLink’s key features include:
Auto Routing
For outbound load balancing, AscenLink’s Auto Routing directs each session or connection to the best available link. It supports policy-based routing, optimal routing, and traffic scheduling to effectively convert any business principle into network policy.
Multihoming
For web hosting services, AscenLink’s Multihoming features patented SwiftDNS technology, providing unmatched bandwidth availability by load balancing all incoming traffic across multiple hosts, multiple Internet access lines and multiple ISPs
Tunnel Routing
Tunnel Routing delivers bigger virtual bandwidth by breaking data down into packets while transferring over multiple links. This allows data packets to navigate multiple paths to their destination where they are re-assembled in the correct order. Tunnel Routing is commonly used to improve performance of mission-critical applications that normally cannot use more bandwidth than the single highest-capacity link available to them. Tunnel Routing lets applications such as VPN, VoIP and live video streaming utilize bandwidth across multiple links for vastly improved performance and reliability.
Bandwidth Management / Traffic Management
Bandwidth can be managed based on categorization of application, traffic source and destination. Bandwidth is then allocated to avoid wastage and critical applications are guaranteed bandwidth for peak performance.
Connection Limit
The number of connections allowed for each individual IP address can be restricted, for both inbound and outbound traffic. Connection restrictions will be triggered if the limit has been exceeded or a sudden surge is detected (such as malicious attacks). Connection Limit will minimize the effect of network intrusions as well as assisting system administrators with adequate information to take the necessary actions.
User Friendly UI
The UI effortlessly allows management the visibility to continuously monitor the network. The advanced and intuitive UI simplifies network management and provides the platform with uncomplicated and secure network administration.
LinkReport
AscenLink comes with LinkReport, the integrated reporting platform for network management and maintenance. It is a comprehensive diagnostic system that provides around the clock network monitoring, live statistical feedback, and warns administrators of any abnormal network activities.
