Networking
With the goal of creating a device capable of independently solving the most common problems, Antek developed ABILIS based on five principles:
- Ensuring extremely resilient connectivity by using multiple Internet lines in parallel simultaneously.
- Allowing clients to choose the network providers and services they prefer. Antek simply suggests selecting lines that follow well-differentiated routes.
- Avoiding potential network congestion caused by self-induced traffic overloads. These events are far from uncommon, often corresponding to software updates or unreasonable downloads.
- Using FEC (forward error correction) to reduce retransmissions, as it is done with RAID.
- Mitigating cyber-attacks through various measures:
– receiving black-lists from institutions delegated to fight cybercrime.
– defence against denial-of-service attacks and automated attempts to guess passwords.
– an intrinsically secure VPN.
– a filter for spam and malicious e-mails.
Why choose abilis?
Because:
- you suffer service discontinuities.
- managing the VPN requires too much efforts from you, who have a thousand other things to care.
- you seek the freedom to change Internet service providers while keeping your public IP addresses unchanged.
- you want a backup whose effectiveness is guaranteed.
- you want all your networking services to be under control by your staff. In case of troubles, you want objective diagnostics.
One line only: RISK ! Multiple lines: NO RISK !
For Internet service continuity:
The simultaneous use of multiple lines and the absence of an ‘operating system’ leave no foothold for hackers.
A failure or attack on a single line only causes a reduction in connection speed, while ‘public’ IP addresses remain unchanged, even when using assorted lines and providers.
For guaranteed backup:
The constant use of all available lines ensures an immediate alert in case of any line failure.
Place a VPN router of your own next to the servers in-Cloud of yours
The main user of cloud services is often the same company publishing them, hence the connection to them is strategic.
By installing a virtual ABILIS router in the same environment (AWS, AZURE, …) where their cloud-servers are deployed, publishers establish a strong multi-line connection from their headquarters till to their servers.
Monitoring and Control
Our concept is that the router itself solves problems -even if to local abuse- whilst avoiding to raise unnecessary alerts.
An embedded Automatic Congestion Avoidance System is able to recognise excessive traffic between ‘machines’ and to postpone it with respect to interactive sessions (man to machine).
This permits to avoid Internet problems arising from one’s own IT systems, which often start upgrades or data-synchronisations without obtaining prior permission.
The administrator can read the origins and destinations of data-traffic sent/received by each LAN host and controls a Blacklist and a Whitelist. But the blacklist is also fed automatically…
Multi-Level Security
For easy activation and management of a robust VPN, based on the ABILIS router itself.
Because ABILIS detects and resolves issues caused by its own computers, prioritizing interactive sessions over bulk data transfers (IP Shaping / Embedded Congestion Avoidance).
Because ABILIS includes traffic control that is understandable to everyone, comprehensive, and objective.
