The outbound load balancing is based on the static policies, which are static traffic allocation rules, and in conjunction with the dynamic feedback of run-time load across the network. The system automatically feeds these performance parameters, such as response time and traffic load, and in consideration of the predefined static policies, into a load-balancing algorithm to calculate the most efficient routing path. Ultimately, the users are guaranteed of having the fastest connection available.

PowerStation has a built-in Dynamic Domain Name Service Database (DDNS Database) that is serving as an efficient lookup table for the domain name resolution requested by the Internet users. The system automatically determines the best routing path and replies the resolved IP back to the requester. In effect, PowerStation achieves inbound load balancing and eliminates the need for an enterprise to maintain a dedicated DNS server.

With the built-in fault detection mechanism, it's always keeping an eye on the connection status and its quality. Through the Multi-Homed service, whenever the system detects traffic blockage in a faulty line, it will automatically redirect the traffic on that line to a working line. This entire process is done without any human involvements. By doing so, PowerStation not only lessens the system and network administrators' burden, but also ensures the enterprise will always be connected.

PowerStation automatically adjusts DNS entries according to the line status of different ISP.
This ensures a non-interruption Internet service by guaranteeing resolving DNS requests to a functional IP address.

Policy Routing allows flexibility in adjusting the line usage of external connection, such that an enterprise can dedicate its key Internet services (e.g. E-Mail Service) to highly reliable lines, and other less critical services (e.g. employee's Internet usage) to other relatively less reliable lines.
By doing so, enterprises are guaranteed to operate continuously.

Network administrators can set a minimum guaranteed bandwidth, maximum bandwidth and prioritize specific traffic to ensure the important data or application services always flow through with the highest urgency.

Since PowerStation is architect at the gullet point of LAN and WAN, the importance of lowering the risk of Single Point of Failure is clearly seen. The high-end PowerStation supports HA architecture
by clustering an Active/Passive configuration of two PowerStation boxes to achieve self fault-tolerant redundancy backup. Under the normal situation, the active machine responds to all connection requests. As soon as that active machine fails, the passive machine immediately becomes active and takes over all the jobs performed by the failed primary active machine.

PowerStation can be used in consolidation with PStop, the Inapproprate Web page Filter that was developed by HGiga Technology, to assist your enterprise effectively block the lnappropriate Internet browsing by employees during the office hours. With the elimination of access to inappropriate web pages, PowerStation not only increases the speed of legitimate Internet browsing, but also regains those misplaced productivity. PStop is a Transparent Mode filtering system, this means all outgoing Internet traffic automatically pass-through PStop without having to reconfigure the settings on the user's browser. In the end, there is literally no need to purchase the expensive WCCP-capable routers in order to benefit from the use of web page filtering.
