HEALTHCARE Solutions
Within the heathcare industry information can mean the difference between life and death. XRoads Networks appliances are designed to ensure secure and reliable network communications for hospitals, doctors offices, and medical workers. The challenges faced today by the healthcare industry are enormous and continue to grow. The latest HIPAA regulations for securing patient medical records in electronic format only add to those challenges. The EdgeXOS platform ensures secure and reliable access to data, either in the data center, the hospital or the local doctors office.

Why The EdgeXOS?
The EdgeXOS platform provides a complete unified solution for secure network communications. With built-in server and network load balancing along with unique MultiWAN optimization capabilities for securing and accelerating remote site connectivity the EdgeXOS delivers for healthcare.
 | Active Network Redundancy (ActiveHA)When an emergency occurs, the first place people turn to is the local and national government institutions. It is critical that during these times that the services provided by these institutions are available and accessible to the community. ActiveHA provides automated and instant network failover in the event of a significant event such as a natural disaster or even a simple network outage. |
 | MultiWAN Optimization (S2S)Optimized access to remote branches, remote users and the data center. Beyond WAN optimization the EdgeXOS includes the ability to bond multiple broadband links to provide additional site-to-site bandwidth, and ensure automated redundancy in the event of an link outage. |
 | Web Bonding w/Acceleration (MSA)Provide internal users with true link bonding across two or more broadband connections in order to acces remote sites utilizing specialized caching and session splitting techniques which improves overall throughput and responsiveness. |
 | Stateful Cloud Firewall (SCF)Protect the network from potential hack attempts and secure web-based communications from viruses, spyware, malware, and other malicious websites which are accessed by internal staff every day. |
How To Implement?
The EdgeXOS platform is typically implemented in one of two ways, either placed in "NAT Mode" in which all traffic is NAT'd between the WAN links and the LAN switch, or placed in "Bridge Mode" where the WAN1 traffic is bridged through to the LAN switch, this means that the LAN is enable to communicate directly with the WAN1 firewall/routers gateway IP address without any changes to the existing network. Any additional WAN routers would be NAT'd and/or proxy'd by the EdgeXOS appliance.
Which Products?
The EdgeXOS platform comes in two forms, a fully licensed version called the UBM series, and a solution specific version called 'aXcel'. The 'aXcel' solution is designed to be scalable and can be license upgraded and typically has a lower entry price point vs. a similar UBM solution.
The LINKaXcel or VPNaXcel is the appropriate 'aXcel' solution for SMB customers.
