Elfiq Networks, a provider of telecommunications and security solutions, has announced that its new LB-1500E Link Load Balancer is the best-in-class 1U rackmount unit in terms of energy efficiency.

 

Based on Elfiq’s E-Series platform, the device boasts an unmatched power consumption of 25W even under peak traffic conditions. Power consumption figures in the field of link load balancing range from 35W to 300W.

 

"We are really excited about this device; not only does it deliver amazing performance, it does a fantastic job of managing power. Considering that organizations' power consumption is on the rise, power costs are increasing every year and availability can be limited, this unit will not add any extra burden to small and mid-sized businesses," said Jean Pascal Hebert, Vice-President Business Development of Elfiq Networks.


The Elfiq LB-1500E is available for shipping right away.

 

The Elfiq Link Load Balancer is easy to install and eliminates the need of IP address migration or any changes to firewalls/routers. Also, the Elfiq Link Load Balancer not only ensures for the user business continuity through optimal access to network and applications, but it also optimizes multi-homed network throughput.

 

The device finds application in disaster recovery projects due to its avant-garde features like geographic load balancing and VPN multiplexing which also ensure optimal access to the enterprise's IP services.

 

"When designing our new products, we made a decision to have a unit that would fit small and mid-sized businesses' needs while keeping power consumption low. Elfiq is looking to provide environmentally friendly solutions, and this complements nicely our units which all are RoHS-compliant," said Ghislain Lachapelle, Executive Vice-President of Elfiq Networks. "Requiring only 25W of power, this unit will also do its part to not add extra cooling requirements in server closets."
