APconnections has launched its NetEqualizer Lifetime Buyer Protection Policy. A privately held company, APconnections deals in plug-and-play bandwidth shaping products.

 

The NetEqualizer (News - Alert) is a plug-and-play bandwidth control and WAN/Internet optimization appliance. It is both flexible and scalable. When the network is congested, NetEqualizer's unique "behavior shaping" technology will give priority to latency-sensitive applications, like VoIP, web browsing, chat and email. The NetEqualizer will do the same dynamically and automatically, by improving on other bandwidth shaping technology available. It also controls network flow for the best WAN optimization.

 

According to Art Reisman (News - Alert), chief executive officer and co-founder of APconnections, the decision to implement the policy was a matter of customer peace-of-mind rather than necessity. Reisman also added that the failure rate of any NetEqualizer unit is ultimately very low.

 

If a NetEqualizer unit has an un-repairable failure at any time, customers will have the option to purchase a replacement unit at a 50-percent discount off of the list price. The policy is in addition to the existing optional NetEqualizer Hardware Warranty (NHW), which offers customers cost-free repairs or replacement of any malfunctioning unit within a year of its purchase. In order to qualify for the same, a user must be the original owner of the NetEqualizer unit. The discounted price does not include shipping charges. However, purchasers of the one-year NetEqualizer Hardware Warranty (NHW) will still qualify for replacement at no charge during the first year of ownership.

 

APconnections develops cost-effective and easy-to-install and manage traffic shaping appliances. The NetEqualizer product family optimizes critical network bandwidth resources for any organization that purchases bandwidth in bulk and then redistributes or resells that bandwidth to disparate users with competing needs.

 

NetEqualizer appliances are bandwidth shaping systems designed for voice and data networks. It is possible to deploy the cost-effective bandwidth control products in both corporate and service provider networks. Since NetEqualizer appliances automatically shape traffic based on built-in fairness rules, network administrators and operators are able to bring network traffic into balance easily without having to build and manage extensive policy libraries and with no changes to existing network infrastructure.

 

The built-in rules-based, application-level traffic-shaping technology of NetEqualizer dynamically controls traffic based on current network usage. It is possible to change all settings in real-time, with no affect on network service quality.
