California CPA Firm Deployed PowerLink to Provide Automated ISP Redundancy and
Failover Enabling Business Continuity
PLYMOUTH, Minn.--(Business Wire)--
Ecessa, a leader in affordable WAN link controllers for small-to-medium sized
enterprises (SME), today announced that C&D LLP, a California-based accounting
firm, has deployed Ecessa`s PowerLink WAN link controllers to manage its growing
WAN infrastructure demands. With the assistance of network solution provider
CompuVision, C&D now has a WAN solution to manage various traffic types while
delivering reliable connectivity and business continuity to its users despite an
outage or emergency situation. 

C&D`s T1 connection is used for VoIP, email and Internet connectivity to
communicate with a remote workforce and with its customers and government
agencies. The firm also relies on the Internet for electronic filings of tax
returns, document management, accounting software and other accounting
functions. With the Southern California area plagued with a series of
devastating fires, coupled with sporadic Internet outages, Internet performance
has been adversely affected, hampering employee productivity and the ability to
fully service clients. The Ecessa PowerLink provides seamless failover between
ISPs in an event of an outage, as well as providing load balancing and bandwidth
control for different applications and user traffic. 

"We recommended Ecessa`s PowerLink, because it met the business continuity
requirements of C&D," states Chris Francesconi, regional manager at CompuVision.
"In fact, a big part of our decision to recommend Ecessa was because PowerLink
is an affordable solution for increasing bandwidth by aggregating two disparate
Internet connections, as well as becoming a layer of protection from service
provider outages and natural disasters. By building in redundant Internet
connectivity, if one service provider has an outage, PowerLink automatically
fails over to the other ISP." 

"I find great peace of mind that C&D is now safe, in that if one of our ISPs has
an outage, our employees, partners and clients will not be affected. PowerLink
will automatically direct our users to the other ISP connection," says Pat
Malvarose, Network Administrator for C&D. "This is a perfect solution for our
company. Now, we are protected in case one of our service providers has an
outage, or if one of our network connections is bottlenecked. Overall it
provides us with the optimal user experience." 

"PowerLink is a great solution for our partners that want to deliver fantastic
value to their clients, as CompuVision did with C&D," states Ron Thomas,
president and CEO of Ecessa. "In addition to providing WAN reliability through
multiple, diverse WAN connections to protect against failures, PowerLink enabled
them with greater overall throughput by directing traffic among all the network
connections."
