LinkProof - Multi-WAN Switch
24x7 On Demand, Cost-Effective WAN Availability
From maximizing productivity to ensuring continuity when disaster strikes, enterprises require uninterrupted
access to Web sites, data centers, remote locations and the Internet. LinkProof is a multi-WAN switch that lets
you maximizes the effectiveness of your WAN by bypassing bottlenecks and service-provider outages, managing
bandwidth consumption, and letting you decide which links are used for which applications and when. It’s the
only on demand solution that lets you effortlessly add, manage and load-balance multiple ISP connections while
you mix-and-match VPNs, private and public links for back-up or in response to growing bandwidth needs.
The result? Flexibility to build a best-of-breed WAN solution that keeps costs down and keeps customers and
users always connected to business-critical applications and Web sites.

Ensure Availability of
Data Center Applications
Has data center consolidation placed all your application
“eggs” in one basket? Perhaps you can’t afford a single
minute downtime from your revenue generating Web site
or corporate extranet. Maybe your disaster recovery plans
require employees’ unfettered access to the VPN gateway
from their home computer. Smart business sense
dictates you manage the availability of your WAN and not
rely solely on your service provider’s SLAs. LinkProof lets
you introduce active-backup links to support your
business continuity strategy. Real-time health-checks of
all available WAN paths ensure immediate failover to a
functional link in the case of service outages, so your
data, applications and Web site are available 24x7.
“Now adding bandwidth can be
done in an easy and cost efficient
manner…Radware’s LinkProof
eliminates all of the complexities
of multi-homing design providing a
single, easy to manage appliance
that intelligently utilizes all
Internet links optimally.”
– Linda Murawski, Manager,
Network Infrastructure Services,
Large Wholesale Bank

Business-Oriented Scalability
and Multiple WAN Link Management
Expand your WAN or migrate from legacy lines to MPLS, DSL,
etc. without risk. Create redundancy in your WAN links and
application access without wasting resources. Increase

links without compromising up-time.
LinkProof lets you seamlessly change and add any combination
of IP-based WAN links, regardless of size, underlying transport
method, service provider, or IP-address space. This frees
resources to focus on designing the WAN that’s right for you
today but with the flexibility you need to quickly and easily scale
in order to adapt to tomorrow’s challenges.

End-to-End Headquarters to Branch Office Offering
As more companies strive to consolidate multiple data centers more and more applications get relocated from remote
branches into the main data center. The move from a dispersed application configuration to a consolidated one
requires enterprises to allow secure access from remote branches into the main data center. In parallel, companies
strive to reduce the amount of network devices which must be installed in remote branches, in an effort to reduce the
costs associated with purchasing and maintaining multiple network devices. Using LinkProof in conjunction with
Radware’s branch offering – LinkProof Branch – allows you to seamlessly connect remote branches to the main data
center. The combination of LinkProof and LinkProof Branch provides best-of-breed, multi-WAN link load balancing of
private, leased and VPN lines while concurrently reducing the amount of traffic passed between multiple locations.
