hi all,
I have not bought any units yet… still trying to wrap my mind around the outbound load balancing.
Again my plan is for a small data center… mainly doing backup services/file sync
my ISP are only offering 200Mb/20Mb connections, unless i go fiber which is VERY VERY VERY expensive… a 100Mb/100Mb connection on fiber is around 12k USD a month and for a start up we cant afford that
So from 2 of the islands isp i am looking at getting 2 connections from each … so i will have 4 200Mb/20Mb connections… the downstreams are not my big problem… is the upstreams… we are looking to have 500 to 1000 users an the end of 1 year…
our application uses ssl … so i am wondering how exactly would outbound load balancing (return traffic to original requester) work… for example if we have 30 users who are doing some kinda of data restore/download at the same time… how would the peplink box utilize all the 4 20Mb upstreams ? remember these 30 users are offsite… non of these users will have peplink boxes…
Also how come only the 2500 unit has redundant power ?? this means i am going to have to buy 2 710 models to have some basic level of HA…
