WAN enhancement products for SMEs
FATPIPE Networks, a US-based WAN networking technology company, has opened an Australasian sales office in Melbourne as part of its global expansion.
FatPipe says it has identified key market segments in Australia that could benefit from its core product offerings, particularly small to medium size enterprises (SMEs).
The company says SMEs have steadily increased their use of internet applications, which has led to a greater demand for adequate bandwidth. A typical network setup: one headquarters office and two or more remote offices all connected by managed or CPE based VPNs.
The majority of companies are currently using either leased T1s or DSL/ADSL lines acquiring 1.5 Mbps speed at headquarter offices, while the branch offices utilize ADSL links with speeds between 256kbps to 512kbps. As a matter of course, these businesses are seeking a simple way to achieve greater bandwidth at a low cost.
According to FatPipe, they are avoiding purchasing or leasing additional or larger data lines due to the associated expensive monthly reccurring costs of the lines as well as the costs of additional needed technologies, such as routers.
FatPipe offers an affordable, robust alternative to purchasing additional or larger data lines to accommodate new demands for larger bandwidth with the introduction of its data compression networking device, Kompressor.
SMEs located in Australia/NZ can benefit from faster WAN connectivity by integrating Kompressor into their networks without making any additional changes to their network's WAN infrastructure.
FatPipe Kompressor increases network capacity and speed up to three times by compressing packet payload and eliminating redundant data traffic over a WAN using your current data line.
The system is easy to install and manage, and sits transparently in a network. It significantly increases a network's throughput without having to upgrade existing line connections, bringing significant cost savings immediately.
Kompressor is available in four speeds 2, 5, 10, and 50 Mbps providing up to three times more speed and network capacity.
