SALT LAKE CITY, UT--(Marketwire - September 3, 2008) -
FatPipe Networks™, the inventor
and multiple patents holder of
WAN
optimization, redundancy and security products, announced today that it
has successfully secured its sixth patent. The U.S. Patent No. 7,406,048
protects the "tools and techniques for directing packets over multiple
parallel disparate networks, based on address and other criteria."
The invention helps companies who are utilizing point-to-point, frame relay
or
MPLS networks
to achieve the highest level of reliability for Wide Area Network (WAN)
connectivity by aggregating data lines from private networks with public
Internet lines using VPNs and/or other Internet-based networks. The patent
protects the methods used to allow frame relay, MPSL and/or point-to-point
networks to co-exist with VPN and other Internet-based networks for
redundancy and the ability to failover from one disparate network to the
other transparently.
The user may elect to use the technology to load balance data packets over
two or more disparate WAN connections, and also have the automatic failover
component in place, or treat one of the WANs as a backup that is used only
when the primary network fails. The invention also allows for a transition
from frame or point-to-point networks to Internet-based solutions in a
graded fashion.
"FatPipe created the technology to provide innovative, low-cost solutions
for businesses that require 'always-up' availability of their WANs for
business continuity, without
compromising the integrity or security of data transmissions," said Ragula
Bhaskar, Ph.D., President and CEO of FatPipe Networks.
FatPipe's intellectual property includes six U.S. Patents: No. 6,493,341;
No. 6,253,247; No. 6,295,276; No. 6,775,235, No. 7,269,143, and U.S. Patent
No. 7,406,048. FatPipe has several other patents, copyrights, trademarks,
proprietary technologies and industry secrets pending. FatPipe

About FatPipe Networks
FatPipe Networks is the inventor and multiple patents holder of technology
that provides the highest levels Internet/Wide Area Network (WAN)
reliability, fault tolerance, redundancy, security and acceleration.
FatPipe's line of products cover an array of features and benefits for
companies that run mission critical Internet/WAN applications over any type
of infrastructure.
Customer benefits include up to seven-nines
WAN redundancy, reliability, and
speed; dynamic load balancing,
Quality of
Service (
QoS), and
additional security; as well as compression, and IPSec capabilities.
FatPipe technology empowers network administrators by giving them the tools
they need to optimize their network using QoS, compression, policy routing,
and security tools. Just as importantly, FatPipe is the world's most
innovative creator of WAN redundancy technology, router clustering, which
affords companies automatic and dynamic failover of a downed data line
connection due to a WAN component or service failure.
FatPipe's core patented and patent-pending technology provides methods that
enable high speed data transfer through multiple lines, multiple ISPs, and
backbones over the Internet or other WANs with seamless re-assembly of data
streams. FatPipe holds six patents for its security feature, MPSec, and for
its Redundant Array of Inexpensive Lines (RAIL) technology, which
aggregates data lines over multiple ISPs and backbones without BGP
programming.
-- WARP - Used by companies hosting internal servers, requiring
reliability and redundancy for inbound and outbound traffic.
-- MPVPN® - Aggregates multiple VPN paths for up to three times the
redundancy, and nine times the security.
-- IPVPN - Aggregates multiple managed and CPE-based VPNs in to one
single seamless WAN. No BGP or NNI programming is needed.
-- KOMPRESSOR - is a packet-based compression device that improves your
wide area network performance by increasing speed up to three times.
-- Site failover - provides site to site failover for servers. Provides
excellent failover in the event of a disaster.
-- QoS - is a WAN traffic management feature that can be added on to most
FatPipe units. QoS provides administrators the tools they need to refine
and prioritize traffic based on application type.
-- Spam Police - is a network appliance that eliminates junk email and
helps protect your network from harmful viruses.
