15 ELFIQ NETWORKS RIVERBED FORCE 2014 FEATURES FMR APP OPTIMIZER - SITEPATH MTPX GEOLINK - SLICE SSL VPN

16 FLEX MULTIPATH ROUTING #HybridEnterprise Flex Multipath Routing helps businesses by providing more bandwidth for their key applications while at the same time lowering the bandwidth cost. Using built-in SSL VPN capabilities, organizations can take advantage of cost effective internet links instead of traditional MPLS links or leased-lines. Site-to-site VPN tunnels can be established directly between link balancers or to a cloud hosted VPN hub that will act as a virtual WAN network. INTERNET MPLS Once paired with our SSL VPN capabilities, Flex Multipath Routing can be used to load balance site-to-site WAN traffic between private links and internet links. Some clients even use our technology to transition from their expensive private links to an array of cheaper internet links dramatically reducing the Total Operating Expenditures.

17 ELFIQ APP OPTIMIZER The Elfiq AppOptimizer is an add-on module for the award-winning Elfiq Link Balancer product family which provides application-layer deep packer inspection (Layer-7), classification and control including Mobile, Social Networking, P2P, Instant Messaging, File sharing, Enterprise and Web 2.0 applications. The Elfiq AppOptimizer is able to proactively manage over 675 applications in the following categories: - Collaboration - Database - Games - Mail - Networking - Peer to Peer - Social Networking - Streaming Media - File Transfer - Network Monitoring - Web Services - File Sharing - Messaging - Proxy - VPN and Tunneling - Remote Access

18 SITEPATH MTPX #HybridEnterprise Elfiq has extended its primary link concept to create SitePathMTPX, where the endpoint devices such as firewalls require no modifications in implementing Elfiq products. Once installed, each Link Balancer in a multisite deployment can create multiple paths between each ISP link creating the opportunity for resilient communications. Should an ISP link fail, other links with multiple paths keep the communications active and uninterrupted.

19 GLOBAL GEOLINK Elfiq Networks Global Geolink feature brings enterprise-class multisite geographic traffic balancing for business continuity and disaster recovery optimization. With Global Geolink, organizations can design and implement infrastructures which will be resilient and will be able to process data even if sites go dark as long as one is operating. Should a site s links become unavailable, key corporate services can be geographically balanced to another site to prevent any downtime and this adjustment can be done in seconds unlike BGP which can take up to an hour do the same. Primary Site Geolink over private/vpn link Secondary Site

20 ELFIQ SLICE Elfiq Networks slice is a priority focused Quality of Service engine. Its main goal is to service your traffic and re-order packets to ensure your priority traffic is always serviced first. This is critical for low-bandwidth high-priority applications such as VoIP and teleconferencing. Traffic slice enables: Packet Priority for key traffic. High Priority Slices are dequeued first. Low Priority Slices are protected for starvation. Easy configuration, slice numbers represent their priority Slice 1: VoIP Slice 2: VPN Slice 3: Videoconference Slice 4: B2B Slice 5: www and Slice 6: Streaming Slice 7: Catch-all Slice 8: Torrent ISP A ISP B ISP C

21 ELFIQ SSL VPN #HybridEnterprise The Elfiq Networks VPN engine features enables an organization to leverage traditional internet links and use them as site-to-site VPN tunnels. Supplementing or replacing WAN links with Elfiq SSL VPN is a key for all organizations wanting to optimize their bandwidth while lowering their costs. Standard based, Proven SSL encryption NAT and load balancing friendly Use internet links as WAN link replacements Painless site-to-site VPN tunnel configuration Dynamic IP address links and FQDN destinations are supported A VPN cloud can be achieved with a virtual Link LB hosted at Amazon EC2 LBX700 LBX900 LBX2600 LBX5500 VPN Instances Tunnels per Instance VPN Throughput 50Mbps 100Mbps 530Mbps 650Mbps
