New product range
features integrated 2 and 4 port ADSL interfaces, reducing power, space and
administration overheads for IT Managers.
Leeds, UK, December 10th,
2008 - Xrio Ltd, UK based manufacturer of world leading Internet bonding
and load balancing solutions, today announced it has expanded its Link
Aggregation technologies with the new UBM 200i and UBM 400i unified bandwidth
management appliances. A first in the market, both the UBM 200i and UBM 400i
represent an evolution of Xrio's classic UBM 200 and UBM 400 appliances with
the addition of integrated 2 port ADSL router/modem in the UBM 200i and 4 port
ADSL modem in the UBM 400i supporting ADSL1, ADSL2, ADSL2+ and Annex M.
This leap in technology serves to contribute to power
savings with integrated devices consuming less energy and reduce the amount of
cabling and 3rd party devices required to traditionally perform link bonding
and load balancing tasks. In addition with an integrated appliance, less
administration is required and support overheads will be reduced as the need
for 3rd party ADSL modems is negated.
Xrios ADSL Bonding and Load Balancing technologies are
revolutionary in the market and will shape the way in which businesses deploy
link aggregation devices in the future.
"The ever increasing demand for bandwidth coupled with the
lack of contemporary telecoms infrastructure within the UK has left many IT
executives with few alternatives to costly leased lines. In addition the drive
for greener solutions, diminished service provision in rural areas and the
global economic slow-down is putting pressure on organisations to source new
technologies in an effort to improve efficiency and quality of service whilst
reducing overheads." said Danny Waite,
CTO and head of Research and Development. "Integrated ADSL bonding and Link Aggregation solutions like Xrio's
UBM 400i provide an effective and efficient way to tackle the issues of stable optimised
bandwidth provision whilst helping to reduce carbon emissions, costs and
network complexity."
The UBM 200i with all the routing capabilities of a 2 port
standard router but with all the functionality of intelligent load balancing
makes this entry level appliance an all in one solution for traffic management
and failover.
The QoS enabled UBM 400i this 4 port appliance allows
aggregation of up to 4 separate circuits using any technology and any ISP,
allowing total freedom to optimise your bandwidth and reliability.
Deployment benefits
of the new UBM 200i and UBM 400i solutions include:
Reduce Costs and
Improve Resilience
By replacing costly leased lines with low cost UBM bonded DSL
connections businesses can reduce their overheads and manage their traffic
efficiently. Extended UBM functionality also provides improved connection reliability
and resilience with its failover configuration, high availability, ISP
independence and ability to bond multiple connection types including 21CN, 3G
and WIMAX adding to the overall business continuity strategy.
Optimise and Scale
Bandwidth Provision
UBM gives customers the ability to implement bandwidth
management policies, enabling them to tailor and scale bandwidth usage and
availability to meet business needs. The UBM range supports an unlimited number
of users and between 2 and 64 links, offers the best-in-class scalability and performance
and enables enterprise data centres to roll out next-generation network infrastructures.
"The UBMi range is an outstanding achievement by the
Xrio team as we launch the worlds 1st multiport ADSL router and
integrate it into our leading UBM range. This launch evidences Xrio’s
commitment to continually provide customers with the market's most advanced
integrated bonding and link balancing appliance with all
the functionalities to provide organisations with the necessary tools to
optimise their network. For such an advanced and feature rich appliance the new
UBMi has proven to remove the general complexities of installation thus
ensuring quick and simple deployment, whilst also maintaining a flexible,
adaptable, highly cost-efficient overall solution," said
Shelley Garbutt-Wilson, Director of Sales at Xrio. " With
over 18 months in development and a further 6 months in testing the UBMi is the
next generation of network appliance, combining routing capabilities, link
balancing, bonding, traffic prioritisation and QoS in one easy to use
appliance. Many businesses will know our classic UBM range as it is an
established well respected product deployed in the market today and it will
remain well positioned in our portfolio, the launch of our UBMi range
will only strengthen our position further in the market to become the brand of
choice for link balancing and bonding appliances” She continues, "Xrio's UBM 400i and
Virtualised platform VBond provide an effective and efficient way to tackle the
issues of stable bandwidth provision whilst helping to reduce carbon emissions,
costs and network complexity,"
The UBM 200i and UBM 400i are expected to retail for £699
and £1199 respectively with the original UBM 200 and UBM 400 configurations being
still available under the monika 'Classic' and reduced in price to £599 and £999.
