WAN Link Load Balancing

Fortinets AscenLink intelligently balances internet and intranet traffic across multiple

WAN connections, providing additional low-cost incoming and outgoing bandwidth for

the enterprise and substantially increased connection reliability. AscenLink is supported

by a user-friendly UI and a flexible policy-based performance management system.

AscenLink provides a unique solution that offers comprehensive multi-WAN management

that keeps costs down as well as keeping customers and users connected.

Increase Network Performance

AscenLink intelligently aggregates multiple broadband and/or leased access lines to

significantly increase internet access performance. AscenLink load balances Internet

service requests, optimally distributing traffic across all available access links. Seven

different load balancing algorithms provide the f lexibility to maximize productivity from

any network scenario.

Inbound Access Load Balancing

AscenLink also load balances service requests from Internet users accessingEnterprise-hosted web, email or VPN servers. Multiple links, media and ISPs can

be utilized without complex interfaces or programming with your service providers.

Bandwidth can be added and removed quickly and easily.

Site-to-Site WAN Connectivity

AscenLink gives you high-performance inter-site connectivity without the need to

lease expensive links such as T1 and T3. AscenLink aggregates multiple low-cost

Internet access links to create site-to-site Virtual Private Line (VPL) tunnels of up to

1 Gbit/s for LAN-like performance between company locations. By using multiple

carriers and media, reliability of these VPL tunnels can exceed that of traditional

engineered carrier links.

Tunnel Routing Virtual Private Line Services

Inter-site tunnels can be created from fractional, full, multiple and fractions of multiple

WAN links. Applications requiring large single-session bandwidth such as video

conferencing or WAN optimization can use multiple links to build the bandwidth

needed. Multi-session traffic can share an appropriately-sized tunnel. Tunnels have

the same functionality as single links, supporting load balancing, fallback, failover and

health detection within and between tunnels.

Features and Benefits

Outbound Link Load Balancing to fine-

tune traffic across up to 50 links.

Optimum routing to prioritize traffic for

mission-critical applications.

Automatic failback or failover of

WAN links to ensure continuity of

traffic flows.

Multi-homing (Inbound Link Load

Balancing) to improve response times

and availability for incoming requests.

Virtual servers for simple server load

balancing and high availability.

GbE and 10 GbE fiber connectivity to

Carrier and LAN services.

Comprehensive usage and quality

reporting with LinkReport.
