I have 2 fatpipes and for what they are, they are expensive. I ended up getting one of them off ebay for $600.<br />
<br />
An alternative we used was the powerlink 100. It was about $1500 a few years ago. not sure what they cost now. <a href="http://www.ecessa.com/" rel="ugc">http://www.ecessa.com/</a><br />

We currently use WARP by Fatpipe for WAN optimization and Bandwidth Mangement. &nbsp;Basically put, we have three different Internet connections: &nbsp;T1, Highspeed Cable, and DSL. &nbsp;We use WARP to control which network traffic uses which Internet Connection. &nbsp;For example, all traffic from 192.168.X.X goes through the T1 and all traffic generating from 10.10.x.x goes through the Cable line...etc. &nbsp;My concern is if the WARP Appliance ever dies, we lose all Internet &nbsp;connectivity. &nbsp;I would like to have a standby device, that is already preconfigured in case the WARP appliance fails. &nbsp;However, I don't want to spend the money on a duplicate device that may just sit their and never be used. &nbsp;Can anyone suggest and alternative that we can have on standby just in case that is cheaper than the WARP/Fatpipe appliance?<br />
<br />
Thanks! &nbsp;

Cheaper alternative to Warp by Fatpipe?

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
