SALT LAKE CITY, UT--(Marketwire - October 22, 2007) - FatPipe Networks™, the inventor and
multiple patents holder of WAN
optimization, redundancy and security products, announced today that it
has successfully secured its fifth patent. The US patent number 7,269,143
protects the "tools and techniques used to combine routers to increase
concurrency and redundancy in external network access," such as the
Internet and other Wide Area Networks (WANs).
The technology is a standard feature of FatPipe Networks' XTREME, WARP, and
IPVPN products, which provide load
balancing methods, increased speed, and failover capabilities of
Internet traffic by aggregating two or more data lines though a FatPipe
router clustering device.
The new patent protects session-based load balancing and IP data failover
appliances created by FatPipe for specific application traffic across
multiple lines, especially traffic sensitive to packet ordering and time
latency issues such as VoIP and
streaming video. FatPipe was the first to market network appliances and
technologies that provide these core benefits.
Providing a high level of fault tolerance for Internet connectivity, in the
form of redundant data paths, has benefited companies that require
reliability and speed of Internet connections for vital business
transactions and web-based applications. The new patented technology
supports companies' basic day-to-day activity conducted using the Internet
such as email, VoIP, file transfer, and web browsing, and plays a pivotal
part in their Business Continuity
and Disaster Recovery plans as
well.
"This technology has served thousands of our customers who need reliability
and redundancy for their WANs to conduct mission-critical business
transactions. It also servers our customers who have a Business Continuity
or Disaster Recovery plan in
place. We are so pleased to provide these important benefits to our
customers and are proud to serve customers in meeting their objectives,"
said Ragula Bhaskar, President and CEO of FatPipe Networks.
FatPipe was granted four additional patents: 6,493,341 -- "combining
routers to increase concurrency and redundancy in external network access";
6,295,276 -- "combining routers to increase concurrency and redundancy in
external network access"; and 6,253,247 -- "a system and method for
transmitting a user's data packets concurrently over different telephone
lines between two computer networks"; and US Patent 6,775,235 -- "tools and
techniques for directing packets over disparate networks."
This patent expands the technology claims of previous patents -- the first
of which was awarded December 29, 2000 -- and reflects FatPipe's role as a
pioneer in the field of WAN optimization through router clustering.
FatPipe's intellectual property includes five patents with several other
patents pending, copyrights, trademarks, proprietary technologies and
industry secrets. Any other company that sells products that use similar
methods may be infringing this patent or other patents owned by FatPipe
Networks. FatPipe Networks will actively enforce the protection of its
patents from companies that incorporate any of the patent claim's elements
to the full extent of the law. Companies concerned about possible patent
infringements can call Sanchaita Datta at FatPipe Networks.
