EXPAND CAPABILITIES OF EXISTING NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE WITH S.A.NE

INCREASE NETWORK AVAILABILITY WITH DIFFERENT BONDING OPTIONS

Having an additional connection via an alternative network operator or another WAN outlet increases the total available bandwidth for each TCP/IP unit. At the same time, it ensures availability whenever the primary connection is lost. With S.A.NE software, WAN scheduling is based on a wide range of available policies and presets to meet various users' requirements and offer network continuity for mobile and fixed location solutions as an add-on to existing hardware platforms.

SEAMLESS BACKUP VS. LOAD BALANCING

Seamless backup and load balancing are two bonding options that aim to ensure network resiliency but work differently to achieve it. In the seamless backup scenario, although multiple WANs are available, only one primary uplink is used at a time. If any failure occurs, the system automatically switches to the other available interface seamlessly without interrupting or disconnecting existing connections avoiding any internet downtime.

On the other hand, load balancing handovers data evenly among all applications over the available WAN uplinks. In this scenario, the maximum available throughput for each application is limited by the available bandwidth of its assigned uplink. Whenever an uplink fails, its' traffic gets redistributed to another one. However, this may result in lower performance scores of an application due to the now lower available total bandwidth.

WAN AGGREGATION

WAN aggregation offers optimal streamlined data distribution with uncompromised connection resiliency. With this type of bonding, the user application benefits from aggregated bandwidth among all available WAN uplinks. S.A.NE software optimizes the traffic flows across various sources and eliminates network interruptions while combining speeds of multiple connections. WAN aggregation is particularly advantageous if a single connection cannot provide the bandwidth required by the application or in remote locations where the bandwidth is generally insufficient and connection is otherwise unstable.

HIGH-LEVEL SECURITY MECHANISMS

S.A.NE software has several built-in mechanisms to ensure top-level security of your solutions.

1. It supports certificate-based authentication for both client and server, preferable and more reliable than using a password. This feature allows identifying users and devices gaining access and permanently exclude them in the event of theft in just a few simple steps. It is an automated procedure that offers the highest level of security with minimal configuration effort.
2. Unlike other WAN bonding solutions in the market, due to its unique architecture, S.A.NE does not include a proprietary VPN to bundle data traffic but offers excellent support of industry-leading and widely-trusted VPN services like IPSec, OpenVPN and Wireguard.
3. S.A.NE supports server geo-redundancy. It means that clients can automatically switch between multiple endpoints if there is a backend failure and keep the downtime to an absolute minimum this way.
4. S.A.NE executes pseudo-random distribution of the data packets over all available WAN interfaces and different provider networks. This type of transmission makes a 'man in the middle' attack practically impossible. If the user encrypts the data, there is virtually no possibility of third parties accessing and decrypting the data.
