Next Generation Scalable WAN Technology Improves
Network Performance and Delivers Fast ROI
Seamless Uptime + Superior Application Performance +
Affordable Bandwidth = ROI That Matters.
What Is WANworX™?
WANworX is the most cost effective, scalable and flexible WAN Virtualization solution available. It is a combination of Ecessa hardware,
software, network design and support services. It allows organizations with multiple locations to combine MPLS leased lines (T1, Frame
Relay) and broadband links into a cost effective, high capacity, higher quality, more reliable and resilient network. WANworX is the
culmination of Ecessa’s 45 year heritage of networking technology innovation and uncompromising excellence. It delivers architectural
flexibility and network intelligence to achieve best WAN economies and meet your enterprise wide area network goals.
WANworX Meets Enterprise Goals
Additional Bandwidth
• Add broadband Internet services to augment your MPLS for a hybrid WAN.
• Put standby failover lines to work as part of an active network - and have them available to carry all traffic in case of a primary link failure.
Additional Locations
• Scalable to grow with your infrastructure, incrementally.
• Gives you the flexibility to use broadband connections and/or MPLS at new locations.
Peak Application Performance
• Predictable application performance regardless of link quality, WAN disruptions, jitter, delay or packet loss. WANworX monitors and
adjusts traffic paths in real time for exceptional application performance.
• Best in market performance on network dependent applications such as Citrix, NetSuite, video, CRM and VoIP. No more dropped calls.
• Reliable cloud computing access, all the time = seamless uptime!
Highly Reliable and Resilient WAN
• Achieve greater than 99.999% WAN performance over public/private Internet links.
• Application traffic is prioritized and routed over the best link.
Seamless Uptime eliminates the need for Failover
• Traffic instantly routes to one of your alternate links so you experience no application interruption, even in the event of link disruptions.
• 100% uptime = Never Down™ peace of mind.
Eliminates Single Carrier Reliance and Last Mile Issues
• Combine multiple carriers’ links to eliminate single provider failure and last mile vulnerability.
• End reliance on high cost MPLS with WANworX QoS-like service over all links.
• Makes broadband a viable enterprise alternative.
Lower Connectivity Costs
• Lower cost broadband services supplement or replace MPLS, with 10-20 times better price performance, resulting in fast ROI.
WANworX™ for companies with multiple locations
Enterprise WAN without virtualization
A typical enterprise network
with MPLS connections
may experiences issues
including poor application
performance, dropped
calls, inconsistent access
to cloud computing and
vulnerability to single link
failures.
WANworX Enabled Enterprise network
Enabling WANworX with additional low cost broadband links at each site ensures peak application
performance, no dropped calls, uninterrupted access to cloud computing and immunity to single link
failures. The WANworX WAN Virtualization solution has been proven to provide 10-20 times better
price/performance on enterprise networks.

Never Down™ WAN Reliability Features
WAN Resiliency
You’re doing everything you can to ensure your network is
Never Down™. That’s Ecessa’s mission. We help you leverage
WAN links from different carriers and manage the flow of traffic
over all lines, giving you predictable application performance
regardless of link quality, WAN disruptions, jitter, delay or packet
loss. WANworX monitors and adjusts traffic paths in real time for
exceptional application performance.
Monitoring and Reporting
SNMP support, remote syslog, email notification with alerts.
High-Availability (Hardware Failover)
Not only does Ecessa allow you to configure a redundant
“standby” unit to seamlessly take over in the unlikely event of a
WAN controller failure, it allows you to make use of that unit for
everyday traffic flow and still be available to automatic failover.
DNS Features
Authoritative DNS gives you local WAN redundancy. DNS DualRole provides disaster recovery survivability and Server Failover
provides true server redundancy.
Disaster Recovery (Geographic Redundancy)
Because you must always be ready for disasters, you can
designate a remote/branch unit to take over network control in
the event of a data center failure.
Fault Tolerance (Fail-to-wire)
Ecessa’s fail-to-wire option keeps a data path open during
unexpected interruption of an Ecessa unit.
Management features
Management services via web/secure web//Secure Shell,
Netflow. QoS traffic management for guaranteed performance
for all business critical applications. Global management through
Ecess Cloud of all enterprise and remote WAN resources.
VoIP Support Features
For organizations with SIP-based applications, WANworX has you
covered with built-in SIP proxy, SIP registrar, NAT proxy, firewall and
VPN gateway, support transparent SIP redirect, SIP load balancing
and seamless call failover, which means your VoIP network will be
rock solid and your calls will not drop due to WAN issues.
Load Balancing
WANworX features intelligent traffic management and load
balancing and can be configured with WAN link redundancy and
automatic failover protection for 24/7 Internet availability.
Scalable
WANworX controllers scale to fit your needs. From small office/
home office to branch/remote office to data center, we’ll help
you configure a virtualized WAN to suit your needs today - and
that will grow as your data needs inevitably expand.
Unparalleled Support
Ecessa provides toll-free installation assistance, a 30-day
product guarantee and optional enhanced 24x7 service
agreements.
With over 9,000 Ecessa units in the field and MTBF over 12 years, you bet we have satisfied customers! See what they have to say at

Impressive ROI
Egan Company, a large commercial construction firm headquartered in Minneapolis, saves over $100,000
annually, per site, in technology expenses using WANworX WAN Virtualization. WANworX has allowed
them to decommission their MPLS network and instead use multiple, lower cost Internet connections.
WANworX also improves their application performance, enabling additional cost savings through the use
of VDI, which eliminates significant equipment and maintenance expenses. “With Ecessa’s help our Virtual
PCs and VoIP systems at our remote sites have far greater usability and far greater reliability.”
Jim Nonn, CIO, Egan Company
WAN Strategy
You have ten times more data coming at you today than you did five years ago, and that number will explode by another factor of ten in
the next three years. The WAN that your organization designed years ago most likely didn’t take that into account and it probably won’t
support what’s ahead. How will you prepare your organization for this impending data tsunami? Say hello to WANworX™.
Ecessa can guide you through the process to create your WAN of the Future with an ROI that will simply amaze you. We’ve been
helping companies with their WAN strategies for over 25 years. We’re very good at what we do and we’d like to share our tribal
knowledge with you.
