atrexx Really Relishes Redundancy Responsiveness


atrexx has announced an effective, scalable, and inexpensive solution to backup Wide Area Networks (WAN).

atrexx' 2way2sat BackUp diagram Branded 2way2sat BackUp, the solution is a satellite-based IP product specifically tailored for high availability, disaster prevention, and network redundancy. Completely independent of any terrestrial telecommunications infrastructure, and capable of securing an IP connection for business continuity, 2way2sat Backup is a proactive network business continuity solution that uses VSAT technology to prevent service interruptions and associated problems before they arise.

2way2sat BackUp ensures continuity of communications even when terrestrial networks have been hit by disasters. Terrestrial communications are highly susceptible to failures caused by earthquakes, cable breaks and system hardware failures. Enterprises require seamless switchover to a backup network if such a disaster was to happen. 2way2sat BackUp is based on sophisticated DVB-S2/TDMA platforms from leading manufacturers ViaSat and iDirect, used for professional VSAT services. 2way2sat BackUp is currently available from Eutelsat ATLANTIC BIRD 1 and EUROBIRD 3 satellites as well as from Telesat Telstar 12 satellite. Geographical coverage extends from all of Europe to Middle East and North Africa. Catering for the whole spectrum of businesses due to its flexible and affordable pricing plan, 2way2sat Backup is suitable for small and medium businesses or large corporations. Redundancy via satellite allows for the switching of all traffic to a secondary satellite connection when a failure of the primary link occurs. It is possible for the redundant link to fully replace the primary link in terms of speed and bandwidth. However, for more limited budgets, a smaller backup link is generally sufficient to minimise the impact of a network failure on a business.
