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 - 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(TM) 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

- Meshed link redundancy that is typical in large networks with auto-port
switch feature

- L2 bridge-based load balancing and failover switches when conducting
deep content inspection for application sessions

- Advanced health monitoring and signaling modules to interface with all
standard load balancers
