WedgeOS Improves Service Provider Content Security with Addition of High Availability Load Balancing
Wedge Networks Adds HALB to Enhance Seamless Connectivity, Infinite Scalability and Improved Investment Protection
CALGARY, Alberta, Sept. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Wedge Networks, an innovator providing remediation-based Deep Content Inspection for high-performance, network-based Web security, is pleased to announce that it has added a High Availability Load Balancing (HALB) horizontal scalability pack to its WedgeOS™ Deep Content Inspection (DCI). The addition of HALB will help to meet the high performance and scalability security needs of cloud and service provider networks.
WedgeOS is implemented with a set of purpose built network stacks to ensure seamless network connectivity and always-on security services. Collectively, these loads are called the High Availability (HA) Network Stack. The addition of High Availability Load Balancing brings a much-needed improvement to currently available security solutions by enabling an infinitely scalable solution with industry-leading reliability.
News Facts:
- Service providers and large-scale enterprises are now able to enhance visibility, comprehension and manageability of application sessions for security and compliance purposes without impacting network performance and robustness.
- The solution enables real time content security for large networks, including security as a service to significantly reduce IT overhead and management.
- Rapid failover response time helps avoid interruption of network applications resulting in high reliability on network connectivity.
- WedgeOS provides an advanced synchronization mechanism for DCI devices within an HA cluster to ensure any configuration to one device in the cluster will automatically propagate to other devices, drastically reducing management overhead.
- Versatile HA configuration options are available to suit any network deployment.
Technical Features:
WedgeOS with HALB supports:
- Meshed WCCP-based Load Balancing and Fail Over for all content delivery protocols
- Meshed PBR-based Load Balancing and Fail Over for all content delivery protocols
