Next-Gen WAN Load Balancer

Q-Balancer NG WAN load balancer is a next-generation multi-WAN enterprise gateway solution that combines types of Internet connections to guarantee service quality and continuous connectivity of enterprise and cloud-based applications. Q-Balancer NG guarantees unbreakable connectivity for enterprise and cloud-based applications through optimizing usage for both outbound and inbound traffic across multiple paths. This helps enterprises effectively harness hybrid-cloud networks, and benefits applications that are hosted in the corporation's private cloud.  

Unlike the traditional NAT-based link load balancing solutions, Q-Balancer NG is able to classify applications and route or distribute traffic across a variety of Internet connections based on business policy. The solution is also incorporated with a variety of advanced network features, enabling enterprises to take full control of their WAN networks.

Q-Balancer NG transforms inexpensive broadband connections into an enterprise-grade WAN. Better application delivery can be achieved with its ability of intelligent traffic steering, which works in conjunction with application-based routing, dynamic path selection, and path monitoring to provide desired performance for applications.

Ideal FortiWAN & Ascenlink Replacement
Q-Balancer NG products were chosen by enterprise customers as a recommended vendor for the transition from the discontinued FortiWAN & Ascenlink line of products. Thanks to its centralized management, superior performance, and rich visibility and control capabilities, the Q-Balancer NG product is proven to be an ideal replacement for FortiWAN & Ascenlink in small and medium-sized enterprises.

To provide you with a smooth and easy transition, our team will help you migrate from FortiWAN & Ascenlink-defined policies to Q-Balancer NG policies with minimal impact to your network.

Typical WAN Failover & Load Balancing

What Q-Balancer NG Provides for Enterprises
WAN Load Balancing
It helps business cost-effectively build a reliable and fast connectivity through traffic distribution across available paths. A variety of algorithms is incorporated to help the appliance find the most active and responsive link for traffic distribution. It works in conjunction with path-monitoring, which constantly gauges the status of all WAN links. Based on the measured result, the selected algorithm efficiently distributes traffic across available paths and avoids sending traffic via the paths which are either down or slow...Learn More >>

WAN Virtualization
WAN Virtualization combines various transports of WAN connections into a virtual single connection. The technology combines bandwidth for existing MPLS and kinds of internet connections such as DSL, 4G LTE, cable, fiber, Metro Ethernet, etc. WAN virtualization enables a faster connectivity (the sum of all WAN speed), and it is more open, reliable, resilient, agile and cost-effective to enterprise networks. It can be applied to augment and/or replace expensive MPLS connections for enterprises...Learn More >>

VPN Bonding
VPN Bonding has the ability to chop a single VPN session into packets and then send them to destinations through multiple paths. VPN Bonding provides a fast, reliable and secure connection for all online activities, browsing, video streaming, large file transfers, etc...Learn More >>

Inbound Load Balancing
Inbound load balancing avoids faulty or congested path(s) when directing incoming requests to the hosted servers. The incoming requests will be directed to best-performing or least-loaded path, or efficiently distributed across the available paths. The feature highly increases availability and efficiency of the hosted service to incoming requests...Learn More >>

Multi-Path QoS
The enforcement of QoS rules makes doubly sure that VoIP, video, and other critical applications work properly without being affected by the possible bandwidth issue. Q-Balancer NG mitigates abuse of bandwidth resources and prevents enterprises from mindless bandwidth upgrades or over-provisioning, and the possible waste on bandwidth cost is thus reduced. Besides, its multi-path QoS results in an improved overall network performance and increased productivity...Learn More >>

Logging & Reporting
The inbuilt reporting system collect all the log information required, and then presents it in a graphical and readable format. The ability of monitoring automatically generates tables and charts showing what has been happening within organizations...Learn More >>
