Competitive Landscape
• • • In the market, these devices could mean the similar/competing products.
• • • Link load balancers Dual WAN or multi-WAN routers Multi-homing routers or Multi-link routers It used to be a niche market, very few customers realized the importance of link/ISP redundancy.
But this market is growing rapidly because of web applications, SaaS, and server co-locations.
Internet outage = Loss in business, productivity, time, energy and MONEY.

Competitive Landscape (2/3)
• • • • There are choices of competing products on the market, but not many. (From F5, Radware, ZyXEL, Linksys to the less known FatPipe, Xincom, Hotbrick, etc.) However, there is no clear leader in this market.
Competing products are concentrated on the two far ends of the price scale.
Cheap products do not provide enough stability, features, robustness and such.
• High-end products may be good but are not affordable for most companies.

Link Aggregation & Failover
• Scenario: • Peplink Balance 300 • • Three 1 Mbps Internet Links All links operational •
Combined bandwidth: 3 Mbps
= ISP A + ISP B + ISP C = 1 Mbps + 1 Mbps + 1 Mbps © 2009 Peplink Ltd.

Link Aggregation & Failover
• Scenario: • Peplink Balance 300 • • Three 1 Mbps Internet Links
One link down: ISP B
•
Peplink Balance re-directs traffic over ISP A and ISP C as failover.

Link Aggregation & Failover
• Downtime Analysis: • • • • One 90% reliable link (no failover) • Downtime = 10% =
36.5 days/year
Failover between two independent 90% reliable links (Peplink Balance 200) • Downtime = 10% x 10% = 1% =
3.65 days/year
Failover among three independent 90% reliable links (Peplink Balance 300) • Downtime = (10%) 3 = 0.1% =
8.76 hours/year
Failover among seven independent 90% reliable links (Peplink Balance 710 Direct-connect) • Downtime = (10%) 7 = 0.00001% =
5.26 minutes/year

Non-disruptive Installation
• Real-world considerations when installing network devices: • • Re-configuration of components Risk isolation • Back-out strategy • “Drop-in Mode” - an installation method designed to minimize disruption to the existing network.

Proprietary and Confidential
Drop-in Mode
• Before the installation of Peplink Balance: • The network is connected to the ISP via a Router outside of the Firewall.

Proprietary and Confidential
Drop-in Mode
• Installation Phase 1: • • Peplink Balance is “dropped in” between the Firewall and Router.
The LAN clients, Firewall, and Router maintain the same configurations.

Proprietary and Confidential
Drop-in Mode
• Installation Phase 2: • • Additional Internet links are installed.
Peplink Balance intelligently performs load balance and failover among the multiple links.

Proprietary and Confidential
Drop-in Mode
• Real-world benefits of Drop-in Mode: • • •
No need to re-configure components
• All existing network components inside the firewall maintain the same configuration.
Risk isolation
• Risk is isolated from the LAN environment.
• Phased installation isolates risks corresponding to each installation step from one another.
Simple back-out strategy
• In the unlikely event of back-out, simply disconnect the Peplink Balance unit from the network.

Hardware High Availability
• High Availability support via VRRP, Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (Balance 200/300, 210/310, 380, 390 and 710 models) • • • A pair of Peplink Balance units work together.
One unit is Active.
The other unit is on Stand-by.
