The Kaminsky DNS poisoning attack has been quite publicized and we wish to assure our customers and partners that Elfiq’s products are not vulnerable to this issue.   No firmware updates are required for all versions and models of the Link Load Balancer product line.

Details of the attack have been leaked this week (Slashdot article) earlier than expected, Wired also has a good article on the topic.

Elfiq Networks is now a Nomadix Business Partner!  Also, Elfiq is the only link balancer to be part of this program.  This will enable us to collaborate with a market leader to provide integrated HSIA solutions to the hospitality and hotspot marketplaces.

Elfiq made it on the front page of eWeek!  You can read the full article here.  The piece discusses the benefits of the upcoming additions in SitePathMTPX technology, enabling resilient and faster point to point WAN relationships such as VPNs.

Processor Magazine has an interesting article discussing lower-cost alternatives to T1 circuits for remote offices with cost impacts.  All these link technologies can be used concurrently with an Elfiq unit, and by comining all these elements organizations can add a significant amount of bandwidth while reducing overall costs for telecom links and improving redundancy.

The proliferation of consumer broadband Internet access has led to a resulting abundance of WAN options for SOHOs and branch offices. The monopoly of dedicated T1 circuits has been broken, and most businesses should turn to broadband alternatives—the performance improvement and cost savings can be significant.

Citrix just added Elfiq today in their AppWiki on their web site, more news to come on this front as we build our relationship with Citrix.
