APSolute LinkProof Multi-WAN Switch Data Sheet
From maximizing productivity to ensuring continuity when disaster strikes, enterprises require uninterrupted
access to Web sites, data centers, remote locations and the Internet. LinkProof is a multi-WAN switch that lets
you maximizes the effectiveness of your WAN by bypassing bottlenecks and service-provider outages, managing
bandwidth consumption, and letting you decide which links are used for which applications and when. It’s the
only on demand solution that lets you effortlessly add, manage and load-balance multiple ISP connections while
you mix-and-match VPNs, private and public links for back-up or in response to growing bandwidth needs.
The result? Flexibility to build a best-of-breed WAN solution that keeps costs down and keeps customers and
users always connected to business-critical applications and Web sites.

Business-Oriented Scalability and Multiple WAN Link ManagementExpand your WAN or migrate from legacy lines to MPLS, DSL, etc. without risk. Create redundancy in your WAN links and application access without wasting resources. Increase bandwidth to data centers or remote sites using cost-effective links without compromising up-time.
LinkProof lets you seamlessly change and add any combination of IP-based WAN links, regardless of size, underlying transport method, service provider, or IP-address space. This frees resources to focus on designing the WAN that’s right for you today but with the flexibility you need to quickly and easily scale in order to adapt to tomorrow’s challenges.

“Now adding bandwidth can be done in an easy and cost efficient
manner…Radware’s LinkProof eliminates all of the complexities of multi-homing design providing a single, easy to manage appliance
that intelligently utilizes all Internet links optimally.”
– Linda Murawski, Manager, Network Infrastructure Services,
Large Wholesale Bank

Web Technical Manager,Patagonia
Ensure Availability of Data Center ApplicationsHas data center consolidation placed all your application “eggs” in one basket? Perhaps you can’t afford a single minute downtime from your revenue generating Web site or corporate extranet. Maybe your disaster recovery plans require employees’ unfettered access to the VPN gateway from their home computer. Smart business sense dictates you manage the availability of your WAN and not rely solely on your service provider’s SLAs. LinkProof lets you introduce active-backup links to support your business continuity strategy. Real-time health-checks of all available WAN paths ensure immediate failover to a functional link in the case of service outages, so your data, applications and Web site are available 24x7.

Integrated Application-Level SecurityRampant virus or Denial of Service (DoS) attacks can impact the availability and performance of your business in the exact same way that an unavailable link can, leading to reputation loss and hits to your bottom line. LinkProof provides unmatched application security to mitigate these security risks extending security services from DoS protection all the way to a fully-integrated IPS feature set. This solution provides automatic and accurate protection from a wide range of security threats (e.g., DoS attacks, hacking attempts and rampant worms, etc.) before they bring down your business. Moreover, Radware’s application security provides immediate protection from emerging threats with no manual intervention to reduce security operational overhead. Significant savings in CAPEX are realized by eliminating deployment of standalone point-solutions through the consolidation of best-of-breed security technologies.
End-to-End Headquarters to Branch Office OfferingAs more companies strive to consolidate multiple data centers more and more applications get relocated from remote branches into the main data center. The move from a dispersed application configuration to a consolidated one requires enterprises to allow secure access from remote branches into the main data center. In parallel, companies strive to reduce the amount of network devices which must be installed in remote branches, in an effort to reduce the costs associated with purchasing and maintaining multiple network devices. Using LinkProof in conjunction with Radware’s branch offering – LinkProof Branch – allows you to seamlessly connect remote branches to the main data center. The combination of LinkProof and LinkProof Branch provides best-of-breed, multi-WAN link load balancing of private, leased and VPN lines while concurrently reducing the amount of traffic passed between multiple locations.
