About ElipSwitch™

Each of the ElipServices would not be possible without the design, functionality and performance delivery of Forval’s proprietary ElipSwitch. Designed to be the workhorse for small or medium sized businesses, this battle-tested appliance is a product of years of programming, engineering and testing experience. Its compact size provides substantial flexibility to you with regards to placement, or storage for backup units; its performance means you won’t have to worry about future service disruptions or maintenance requirements.

The ElipSwitch enables your managed IT services to be cost effectively deployed throughout your company, and it guarantees your service levels will not be left behind as new updates become available, be it new services or software enhancements. If you should ever experience any problems or have a question on your appliance’s performance, just contact us for a quick performance evaluation, which is easily performed remotely through the world-class data center 24 x 7. Owned and maintained by Forval, your appliance is effectively future-proofed to avoid equipment obsolescence, ensuring your service levels are optimized for performance, functionality and user satisfaction.

Below are a few diagrams highlighting popular network configurations our customers are using to leverage the diverse functionalities of an ElipSwitch:

The ElipSwitch connects both wired and wireless access points, allowing each device secure access to a shared file server. The ElipSwitch performs automatic nightly back ups from the file server to a remote data center, providing a robust disaster recovery solution.

The ElipSwitch provides an advanced firewall to protect against malicious attacks, while at the same time allowing seamless communication to the outside world.

Mobile users securely connect to the main office through the ElipSwitch’s ‘on demand’ remote access VPN. Branch offices with an ElipSwitch can establish an ‘always on’ secure VPN connection between offices, provided each office is equipped with an ElipSwitch. Both VPN solutions provide seamless, secure communication allowing remote locations to operate as if they were in the same office.

Connect your USB printer to the ElipSwitch and it becomes a print server, allowing anyone in the office to easily print without the expense or complexity of a network printer.
