Best solution for Multi-WAN failover (inside & out)? [closed]
Looking for a way to setup 2 ISPs in failover mode, for both incoming & outgoing traffic, for our small (<100 devices) network.
The leading contender for now seems to be the Peplink Balance 310. However, a reseller I spoke with said it's great for 100% outgoing connectivity, but didn't seem to be confident in its abilities to handle incoming traffic. This is important as we host our own web site, Exchange e-mail, and virtual desktops (RDP).
Do any Peplink owners use this for failover of incoming traffic?
Are there other devices I should be considering? We're currently using a Cisco 1800 series router & ASA 5500 series firewall, with Comcast & T-1 lines (the goal being to replace the T with DSL/FiOS {whenever that becomes availble}).
Price range: ~$1000 - $2500 USD.
Thanks.
We use an old desktop PC with PFSesne and some dual-head NICs and some regular ADSL routers in Bridged mode, with Virtual IPs for connectivity to our ISP-supplied IPs. And it supports failover of the device as well, for even more redundancy.
Hardware costs were almost 0, but the time taken to configure and set up the device can be high - but that said, it's likely to be that way with whatever load balancer/failover device you get.
Vyatta - cheap, fast and simple in configuration if you use Cisco before...
