Stonesoft delivers faster and more affordable connectivity to enterprises with StoneGate Multi-Link™
Solution offers welcome alternative to more costly MPLS connection
Helsinki, February 9, 2007 – Stonesoft, the
innovative provider of network security and business continuity today announced its innovative
connectivity solution StoneGate Multi-Link™ as an answer to the challenge of always-on connectivity
that companies are facing. As a part of the StoneGate solution,
Multi-Link™ enables companies to spread their connectivity bases and ensure the
optimal Internet connection at highly competitive prices.
StoneGate Multi-Link™ creates an ideal solution for companies around the globe
requiring always-on Internet connectivity. It allows companies to work with any type of Internet
connections including affordable Internet or enterprise-based connections to ensure resilient
connectivity clusters.
StoneGate Multi-Link™ is a good alternative to more expensive point-to-point solutions such
as Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS). Even in the case where an enterprise has an MPLS solution,
there is no guarantee of always-on connectivity. StoneGate Multi-Link™ on the other hand ensures
always-on Internet connectivity thanks to patented load-sharing functionality and centralized
management.
At the same time, StoneGate Multi-Link’s load-sharing functionality ensures high
availability, the fastest connection possible and significant savings thanks to reduced monthly
costs and maintenance without downtime. StoneGate Multi-Link™ also finds its competitive edge for
companies involved in issues such as financial trading, where always on connectivity between
offices and trading floors is an absolute must.
By adding another affordable layer of ADSL or xDSL connectivity and combining it with
StoneGate Multi-Link™, your enterprise is assured of resilient connectivity and high availability.
For enterprises with branch offices and a mobile and distributed workforce using VPN connections,
StoneGate Multi-Link™ is an ideal solution to ensure that data flows as it should, speedily and
securely.
Speaking about the StoneGate Multi-Link solution,
Klaus Majewski, product marketing manager at Stonesoft
said: “Multi-Link utilizes Internet mature technologies to ensure safe and, above all, affordable
alternatives to the point to point MPLS solutions offered presently by ISPs. I believe all
Internet-dependent companies will enjoy the benefits this technology has to offer."
Multi-Link™ is a part of
StoneGate – the unified
centrally manageable system that combines deep network security and assured end-to-end
availability. StoneGate utilizes a combination of layered architecture and central monitoring to
create security control and ensure fast response times to security breaches and network
disturbances. Its load balancing feature for gateway and web server increases performance and
eliminates downtime.
