FatPipe MPVPN 3.0
FatPipe Networks has released version 3.0 of its MPVPN device, providing both load balancing and failover for IP and VPN traffic across multiple connections. One of its features, Policy Routing, lets users select specific protocols for specific WAN ports, rather than having the device balance over all links. You can use this capability to send SSL traffic through a frame relay link and Internet traffic over all available lines. MPVPN 3.0 also includes a new "fastest route" load-balancing algorithm and full support for SNMP 2. Starts at $6,500. FatPipe Networks, (800) 724-8521, (801) 281-3434. www.fatpipeinc.com
