Ecessa
Description
Ecessa is a networking technology manufacturer focused on making business wide area networks of all sizes run better. Its WAN link appliances for automatic failover and load balancing ensure greater reliability, full bandwidth utilization and redundancy for uninterrupted business operations.
Today, with so many business critical applications running "over the internet" and "in the cloud," organizations flat out can't afford outages or bad service. You can deliver vastly improved service and peace of mind to clients by bundling more than one telecom link with an Ecessa controller. No more outages. No dropped VoIP calls. No angry clients. We give you the three Rs: resilience, redundancy, residuals.
The Ecessa product line consists of four basic controller models with varying capacities.
- Ecessa Edge™ is our new channel-exclusive product. All the best Ecessa features scaled - and priced right - for small businesses. We know every organization that connects to the Internet or uses hosted VoIP and cloud apps needs network redundancy and resilience - but many small businesses couldn't justify the expense of a failover solution. Until now! You provision up to three ISP links, and for $50 a month (plus one-time acquisition fee) Ecessa Edge makes the magic happen. Chock full of features that mean no more panicked calls about "the network is down" and no more dropped calls. Learn more at info.ecessa.com/partners-edge.
- PowerLink™ is the popular model known and loved by over 10,000 users. It aggregates multiple WAN lines (T1, xDSL, Cable, fiber, ISDN, wireless, LTE, satellite, broadband, you name it) into a greater pool of available bandwidth while providing business continuity through ISP failover and redundancy. It optimizes application performance by prioritizing and managing traffic among links to avoid jitter, latency and congestion. PowerLink also has a built in basic firewall and VPN capabilities for network security.
- ClariLink™ has all that plus it SIP features that enable real-time call failover for VOIP reliability over the Internet. No more dropped calls!
- WANworX™ is the big daddy of our product line, built for organizations with multiple locations. It used software defined network features (SD-WAN) to seamlessly connect all of a business' locations plus it connects to Internet and cloud-based resources. WANworX allows network engineers to strategically design wide area networks, add links, add rules, and not shy away from complex multi-layered networks that will accomplish their performance goals. And Ecessa system architects help every step of the way.
How can we help you generate leads, close sales and build up your happy customer base? By providing one of the best WAN link controller lines in the world, backed by a service team known for its responsiveness and excellence. You sell more carrier and cloud services, we help them run better, your clients come back for more. We're a team.

The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) provides national cross-industry measures of customer satisfaction in the United States. According to ACSI, supermarkets have the best customer service. Topping that list is Trade Joe’s.
Trade Joe’s gets high marks for product selection and quality of service. On an emotional level, they connect with their customers, helping them have fun while they shop and going the extra mile to meet their desires. For example, around the holidays one year, Trade Joe’s delivered groceries – for free – to an elderly man in Pennsylvania. The company also brings in inventory that customers specifically request and do in-store sample testing.
Trader Joe’s business model lets it respond to customer feedback in ways that other supermarkets can’t match.
The software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) industry isn’t ranked by ACSI, however we continually measure Ecessa customer satisfaction rates and retention rates, both of which are higher than 98%. Why? It’s our focus.
Some technology companies tout “cloud-centered” SD-WAN or “policy-centered “SD-WAN. Ecessa provides client-centered SD-WAN. We always have, and we always will - sixteen years and counting.
Like Trader Joe’s, everything we do revolves around our customers. It’s our obsession. From the products we build to the support we provide, everyone at Ecessa focuses on delighting customers. Our mission – our WHY for nearly two decades now – is to ensure customer networks are Never Down™.
Step one is delivering rock solid technology that works 24 x 7 x 365.
“Our network is more resilient. The product just works.” Vince Sullivan, IT Manager, Dunmore
“Every day one or two ISP connections go down, but that’s no longer an issue, since we installed the Ecessa solution. That problem is gone.” Larry Schumacher, IT Architect, Woodstream
How are we able to do this? We’re an established technology company, not a flashy newcomer. We understand the channel and have relied on partners from the start. About the time Yahoo, Google and PayPal were coming online to make the Internet more useful for business, Ecessa was building devices to make Internet connectivity reliable and resilient. Our degreed engineers have deep experience and curiosity. We’re constantly innovating to make sure business network are Never Down, because what good are online apps if you can’t reach them?
Next comes a proactive, managed deployment approach.
Gathering network information, managing phased deployments and digging as deep as needed are all part of our client-centered process. It’s the opposite of so-called zero-touch installations. Our engineers are there every step of the way to ensure customer success.
“I cannot thank you enough for your help and guidance through this process. You have been a shining example of the support that I expected to receive, and you over delivered.” Jeff Talant, C-Net Systems, Inc.
During complex deployments, our network engineers often uncover issues in other parts of client networks that, when resolved, improve overall performance. Like the time Ecessa helped a regional banking system troubleshoot its carrier issues. The Ecessa team ran single-threaded tests over the carriers to be more representative of a true SD-WAN solution and identified a carrier peering problem.
“The diagnostic capabilities of the Ecessa unit and the experience of the Ecessa team helped us uncover the real problem.” Jeff Nelson, Sr. Network Infrastructure Engineer, Stearns Bank
Finally, experienced technical support and development teams solve issues promptly.
We receive kind feedback from our customers all the time, like this from Dan Chase. “I would have to say that Ecessa has the best support team I have ever worked with in 16 years in the industry.”
We’re quick to investigate, recreate and resolve issues, because it’s in everyone’s best interest. Our support team works with you and your clients in other ways, too, besides troubleshooting potential issues. Our support team helps clients turn up additional features and actively collects voice-of-customer feedback for future product releases.
“This unit is easy to configure. When we do need the help desk, they answer right away and are extremely knowledgeable with the exact answers we need with no fishing around.” Gary Carpenter, Network Administrator, Lancer Corporation
The ultimate objective: ensuring client networks are Never Down.
Today most businesses can’t run without online services. It’s essential to stay reliably and continuously connected to those resources. Succumbing to a carrier outage is damaging to productivity, cash flow and reputation. It puts your reputation and future revenues in peril.
“The most important aspect of nearly every network is availability. Performance, scalability, management, agility, etc. all require the network to actually be online.” Andrew Lerner, Research Director at Gartner, Inc.
That’s where Software Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) saves the day. SD-WAN features start at load balancing between ISP links and automatic link failover, and progress through advanced traffic routing and network security functions.
“With the Ecessa we now have a redundant path. We had a disruption in service from one of our ISPs and it went unnoticed, both by our members and our employees.” Kent Kensmoe, Capital Electric Cooperative.
Ecessa’s approach is carrier agnostic, allowing you to use whichever service providers you want. Your clients get to keep their current IP addresses, and you won’t have to remove any network equipment they already have and love.
Your clients control the SD-WAN, instead of being held hostage to any particular provider or cloud service. We fit into their network and your offerings, not the other way around.
We recognize that each network is unique and may not need every SD-WAN feature. Ecessa’s thoughtfully engineered products provide a crawl-walk-run approach to SD-WAN that allows clients to purchase the right level of features for current resiliency and bandwidth requirements, and then upgrade when needed. Ecessa enables customers of all sizes and industries to adopt SD-WAN at their own pace.
“When your ability to compete is measured in minutes, you can’t waste a second with unreliable Internet connections. Ecessa allows us to add far more devices and look five years ahead. Some competitive products don’t have the ability to grow with your enterprise.” Thomas Fitzgerald, Network Engineer, Sunstone Circuits
Because it’s not technology, policies or the cloud that drives us – it’s our clients. It's you and the organizations you support. If you'd like to see our secret sauce, download the Ecessa Phased Deployment Process Guide.

This is a recording from Ecessa's latest three-part summer webinar series on “How SD-WAN Solves Client Problems and Boosts Partner Revenues” on June 18, 2019.
SD-WAN is your Swiss Army knife when it comes to fixing network outages and application performance issues caused by congestion, jitter and lag. This summer, we’ll tackle the three top problems partners told us their clients struggle with.
Webinar 1: Eliminating Outages with SD-WAN | June 18, 2:00 PM CSTWebinar 2: No More Dropped Calls with SD-WAN | July 16, 2:00 PM CSTWebinar 3: Faster Applications with SD-WAN | August 20, 2:00 PMCST
Webinar 1: Eliminating Outages with SD-WAN. Network outages was the top problem identified by partners we surveyed at this year’s Channel Partners Conference & Expo. A few minutes of downtime hurts employee productivity; hours and even days can cause irreparable damage to a company’s reputation and finances. Nobody wants that.
Outages happen to every provider. Brief outages can cause calls to drop and virtual desktop sessions to disconnect. Larger outages from damage to fiber optic cables can knock out an entire region’s internet service. The good news is, you can prepare and protect your clients for these inevitable outages by building redundancy and automation into their networks. Learn how in Part One of Ecessa’s summer webinar series on How SD-WAN Solves Client Problems and Boosts Partner Revenues.

Overview
Can a new technology transform a good business into a great one? Many people tend to think so. When a competitor rolls out this or that newfangled technology, it’s hard not to feel envious of their shiny new toy, and anxious about being out-done. New technologies can delight many customers and address many business problems, but technology adoption choices can never be made lightly—and should never, ever be based on the actions or mission of another business. In this paper, we discuss one prominent technology decision-making methodology that can keep your business off the competitive racetrack to nowhere, and on your individual path to success.

Taming the Broadband Bear
By Ecessa Sales
Remember that joke about the two hikers being chased by a bear? One hiker stops to lace up his boots; the other looks back in a panic and asks his friend how he expects to outrun the bear. "I don't have to outrun the bear. I only have to outrun you," the first hiker replies.
The threat to traditional telecom services and providers is crashing through the woods in your direction. It takes the form of broadband, with its promises of low cost and high bandwidth. Sure, you can try to outrun your fellow agents to avoid being eaten alive. But I propose a different solution: tame the bear.
Software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) is an emerging technology that will allow agents to feed their clients' voracious appetites for higher bandwidth at a lower cost with continuous uptime. It will allow agents to combine their traditional offerings with any and all of the new broadband services with improved performance over the individual services.
In March, Channel Partners and Comcast Business sponsored a special report entitled "WAN Connectivity: New Options, New Opportunities," authored by Kurt Marko. In the report, Marko states, "Business-class variants of consumer broadband and direct fiber services have created more WAN choices…Services like business cable and DSL, carrier Ethernet, fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) and even wireless LTE have broken the telco local loop/T-1 monopoly."
The fast pace of adoption of broadband to meet business demands for cloud and other services is putting pressure on the market for private lines (MPLS) and threatening the revenues those carriers and their agents can generate from those contract renewals. There's no outrunning this trend.
Some cloud providers and carriers are already making friends with the broadband bear and offering the advantages of software-defined networking, including advanced routing features not seen in traditional networks and failover that is faster and less costly than what is otherwise available today.
Pause here and calmly lace up your boots.
If you're not familiar with SD-WAN yet, don't be alarmed. Many network operators aren't on board with SD-WAN and most of your clients are just starting to catch wind of its capabilities. But make no mistake, now is the time to learn about SD-WAN to stay ahead of your competitors.
This past June, analyst Zeus Kerravala of ZK Research wrote, "The growth in hybrid WANs / SD-WANs has been from established, WAN-focused infrastructure companies like Silver Peak as well as a number of start-ups. The one group of companies that has yet to endorse this new WAN model is the traditional network operators such as AT&T and Verizon. Telcos have historically been very slow to move into new markets that might be perceived as a threat to their business model."
Thankfully, for those who make a living providing any flavor of bandwidth, today's advanced network technologies like SD-WAN offer significant opportunities to meet the exploding demand for higher bandwidth at lower costs, with or without adoption by telcos.
Peter Radizeski of RAD-INFO wrote in his TMCnet article An SDN-WAN Primer for Channel Partners, "SDN-WAN is new, but set to explode in some areas (like NFL cities), because companies are migrating to cloud services without taking into account how much bandwidth that will consume, especially for real-time apps like voice, video and virtual desktop."
There is currently a window of opportunity for agents to leverage SD-WAN capabilities and provide the WANs customers are demanding, but that carriers aren't yet offering. With the limitations of traditional networking removed, agents are free to blend the best available services to achieve higher performing, more reliable network transport with big ROI. Agents who ignore this opportunity are likely to lose clients and billings.
Rather than run away from the threat of broadband, agents should turn around and use it. Incorporating SD-WAN into your offerings is one of the best ways to attract new opportunities. It's a solution few agents are talking about and a story your customers have not yet heard a million times.
Think about it this way. How much excitement might you create promoting the advantages of a basic VPN or MPLS networks to your clients? You'd probably get the same response by telling them you could save them up to 15% on their auto insurance. Tell them something they don't know. Show them how they can exponentially increase bandwidth for a remarkably low cost and get 100% uptime.
It's time to ask yourself if you want to have your billing and new opportunities eaten by the bear, or learn how to outsmart your competition by using new technology to protect and grow your business.
Don't let the bear eat you. Tame it with SD-WAN.

Whenever I see new marketing posts from the ever growing list of SD-WAN technology companies knocking MPLS, I think of the Cheers episode where the French guy Henri teases Woody that he is going to steal his girlfriend Kelly. He continually announces to Woody and anyone else that will listen (insert bad French accent), "Woody…. I am going to steal your girlfriend."
You can't hide from the blogs, case studies, white papers and targeted ads that claim SD-WAN deployments in the form of WAN Optimization or Virtualization will….
Reduce your MPLS costs by 400% or moreAllow you to ditch MPLS and increase your bandwidth 20X at a fraction of the costSave you from the dying technology known as MPLS
If you are a telecom agent or consultant you may start feeling a little like Woody, just waiting for SD-WAN to steal all of your WAN billing and prospects. The only thing you have to offer, MPLS, is (according to the claims) past its prime, overpriced and underperforming. Or you may be hoping the attention being shown to SD-WAN is the flavor of the day and that these companies do not provide any significant threat.
Like most things in business -- and relationships -- the truth lies somewhere in between.
MPLS will continue to provide value for many WAN deployments, including SD-WANs.Businesses will likely favor a "hybrid WAN" model, leveraging MPLS at locations where QOS and guaranteed performance matter most, integrating whatever carrier options are available at smaller, remote locations and benefiting from the overall network performance improvements provided by SD-WAN.
While MPLS still plays an important role in today's WAN, options for designing and selling wide area networks are now more diverse. Being a proactive and forward-thinking channel partner that understands how to leverage all carrier options using SD-WAN technology (like Ecessa's) will allow you to provide a higher performing and more resilient WAN.
And like Woody, you will be able to maintain a long-term and healthy relationship with your girlfriend, even when that slick French guy comes a-calling.
