Cohesive Networks Equips Complex Enterprise Cloud-Based Networks With High Availability, Failover and More

CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - Mar 1, 2016) - Cohesive Networks today announced the general availability of VNS3:ha for instance-based automated failover of IPsec and Cloud network connections. Automatic failover is controlled via the VNS3:ms network monitoring and management console, which is also receiving an update.
