The Alteon Link Optimizer simplifies multi-homing by utilizing intelligent traffic management, bandwidth management, and health checking to optimize the availability and utilization of multi-homed network connections. Using the Alteon Link Optimizer's sophisticated integrated security such as Denial of Service protection, application abuse protection, access lists, filtering and Intrusion Detection System load balancing to provide the first layer of application and network security

Key Features:

• Gateway load balancing enables highly available network connections and failover by utilizing intelligent traffic management and health checking to measure link conditions and upstream routers to identify the best WAN link to route both incoming and outbound traffic
• Link persistency, address management, and DNS support negate the need to implement a BGP-based multi-homing solution and greatly simplify the deployment of multi-homed links.
• User selectable health checking algorithms along with bandwidth rate limiting help ensure that application and client access receive the network resources needed to maximize productivity.
• Multi-layer Security - The Alteon Link Optimizer provides the first line of network defense by utilizing sophisticated Denial of Service and application abuse protection, access lists, filtering, and Intrusion Detection System load balancing.
• Link Scalability - Scales business applications and network capacity efficiently without downtime. The Alteon Link Optimizer supports graceful scalability of WAN link capacity by allowing IT administrators to add additional capacity or network devices to load balanced clusters (IDS)
  without service interruption.
