Powered by the AppEx Zeta-Tcp technology, LotWan is able to boost the performance of network applications for enterprises and personal use, including, but not limited to, file sharing, emails, office/collaboration applications, web applications, database, disaster recovery applications, games, video streaming, and social networks, etc.

With HyperCompression technology, LotWan effectively reduces bandwidth usage on WAN links up to 90%, helping to defer expensive WAN upgrades and reduce cost on network infrastructure.

Armed with AppEx IPEQ technology, LotWan eliminates the congestions on WAN links, enables mission critical and latency-sensitive applications to use bandwidth with higher priorities, dynamically balances bandwidth usages among applications/hosts with same importance, and achieves highest bandwidth efficiency for customers.

Multi-Link Load Balancing allows efficient use of multiple WAN links by optimizing the routes, balancing the traffic load according to each link's capacity, and providing redundancy control among WAN links. This feature enables enterprises to reduce the WAN expenses by using multiple low-cost WAN links. It also provides the end users with faster network application responses and more reliable WAN accesses.

LotWan is extremely easy to use and maintain compared with the products from other vendors. In most scenarios, IT/admins only need to configure the bandwidth of their WAN links and the management port IP address. It also simplifies the symmetric deployment by building in Auto-Detection intelligence to discover whether the peers are AppEx products and negotiate their common capabilities. All is performed automatically without human intervention. All the Out-of-Band control messages in the symmetric-deployment features are sent in-line with the regular flows, which means zero-modifications to the existing firewall configurations on both sides.

LotWan can be deployed in minutes without any changes made to the applications, end users, and network devices. It supports either transparent-mode deployment on LAN side of the existing routers ("bump-in-the-wire") or routed-mode deployment (replacing the router).

LotWan is the only WAN Optimization product in the market that supports asymmetric deployment. It can accelerate not only the connections between your data centers, branch offices and mobile workers, but also the traffic to the public internet where the other end of the connections does not have the same acceleration appliances or software deployed.

LotWan has the most advanced traffic management technology (AppEx IPEQ) that is capable of completely eliminating the congestions on your WAN links, protecting mission critical applications, maintaining fairness among applications/users of the same importance, and at the same time fully utilizing your expensive WAN bandwidth. Its behavior-based classification eliminates the need for a signature database which the other DPI (Deep Packet Inspection)-based traffic management solutions require, and which therefore frequently requires complicated and risky database updates.

Besides the two unique advantages above, LotWan has the full feature set of WAN Optimization that other major vendors provide. The effectiveness, stability and availability of LotWan product family have been proved by hundreds of enterprises and organizations.

LotWan product family provides the most cost-effective WAN Optimization solution in the industry. Just as the name suggests, the customers of LotWan have gained a lot from their WAN. The deferring of the WAN bandwidth upgrade alone usually pays for the LotWan in 6 months. On top of that, the productivity will increase because of the improvement on the response time of the network applications, which in most cases translates to higher revenues and profits. Even with upgraded bandwidth, LotWan will still be able to push the performance to its limit. Compared with the WAN Optimization product offerings from other vendors, LotWan's ease-of-use further reduces cost on IT trainings and maintenances.

Besides the LotWan appliances, AppEx also provides LotWan Software Virtual Appliances that can be installed on any standard servers (with two network interfaces minimum). The LotWAN Software Virtual Appliance is charged on a monthly-subscription basis, which eliminates upfront cost for customers and represents an even more cost-efficient, investment-safe solution. Customers can stop the subscription at any time if the LotWan Software Virtual Appliance does not meet their expectations.

AppEx provides a risk-free one-month LotWan software trial version and trial customers get full functionalities of LotWan and AppEx standard support services. To try it out, please email our consumer service team
