FatPipe Networks is Granted a 6th Patent Focusing on WAN/Internet Business Continuity via Disparate Networks

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, MPLS 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.
