Four Seasons Selects The EdgeXOS Platform
The Four Seasons Los Angeles choose the EdgeXOS appliance
to deliver faster Internet connectivity to their clients and
provide automated failover in the event of an ISP outage. Additionally
the EdgeXOS appliance is used to provide rate-shaping and bandwidth
allocation for conference rooms, where the hotel can charge
fees based on speed and usage duration.
Problem
Hotel patrons are increasingly requiring fast, responsive Internet
access which is available 24/7. When the Internet is slow or
down guest can become quickly dis-satisfied with the hotel which
could prevent future stays. It is also important for the hotel
operator to have some control over how the Internet is being
utilized in order to ensure that all guest are able to have
a positive experience.
Solution
 Deployment
of the EdgeXOS appliance with two or more ISP connections ensures
that guest have adequate bandwidth and that in the event of
a link outage that the hotel's Internet service will continue
to work. Additionally with the EdgeXOS's built-in dynamic bandwidth
management features, the hotel network administration can ensure
fair distribution of network resources. Finally, with our network
access control (NAC) capabilities the hotel can ensure that
guest either provide login information and/or agree to a liability
statement, thus releasing the hotel of potential legal issues.
For hospitality deployments where ensuring quality of service
and the ability to easily and inexpensively add bandwidth, the
EdgeXOS appliance is a cost-effective way to ensure customer
satisfaction.
Additional bandwidth through link balancing,
throttling and prioritization for each end-user
/ conferance room, and a separately define network
for the wireless zone.
