3. About FatPipe Networks Overview Cont.
• FatPipe’s products can be deployed On-Premise, in the
Cloud, or as-a-Service allowing for maximum flexibility
in deployment and cost models
• Recent partnership with Avaya, (others to be
announced soon) have greatly increased FatPipe’s
opportunities. Avaya has fully integrated their FX fabric
products with ours, this extends the Avaya fabric from
the data center to the desk top and enables their sales
team to sell full “Datacenter-to-Desktop™” solutions
• FatPipe technology is agnostic to the WAN &
CSPs/ISPs. FatPipe products work with a combination
of physical transport connections: MPLS, Cable, DSL,
Fiber, Cellular/LTE/3G/4G, Satellite
• No other SD-WAN firm has as many features as
FatPipe Networks (see next slide)
• If they do, they maybe in violation of one or more of
FatPipe’s patents:

9. FatPipe Networks - Our Competitive Advantages
• We are an established company with stable and mature products designed by
experienced engineers and support teams. (Our core management and
engineers have been with the company for over 14 years)
• We have an excellent track record – products installed in very demanding
environments like the DoD, 36,000 employee call centers (for VoIP continuity),
and school districts with BYOD (115,000 students and millions of sessions)
• We offer the only SD-WAN products that support multi-Gigabit bandwidth
• We have proven products that enable customers to achieve 99.999988% WAN
reliability
• We are trusted by over 600 reseller partners who like our mature and stable
products, excellent customer support, minimal returns and good margins
Our
Customers
Like FatPipe
• Most are barely three years old and just launching their 1st generation products
• They do not have FatPipe’s reference-ready list of Fortune 1000, SME and
Government customers
• Several are infringing our intellectual property and patents
• The iWAN solution is a complex collection of many products from Cisco and its
partners
• No simple way to manage this complicated array of products that comprise the
iWAN
• Fatpipe has won against iWAN in many instances, as we have a superior product,
which actually works as stated
Versus
Startups
Versus
Cisco’s
iWAN
10. • Fatpipe is the most proven SD-WAN/Hybrid-WAN product in the market place, having thousands
of installs over 15 years and meeting every aspect of a customer’s technical needs
• FatPipe has been working with multiple Telcos for the last 10 years and has experience dealing
with the sales and SE hierarchy at the Telcos
• Fatpipe has beaten other ‘SD-WAN’ products in head to head technology analysis and was
selected by two of the largest systems integrators in the world for implementation for their
customers, because of its product stability, scale and technical depth
• Fatpipe provides automatic sub-second failover of VoIP, video, VPN, and thin clients along with
regular data sessions without dropping sessions or calls (on any phone system, including Cisco)
• FatPipe's 70+ person engineering team is a stable team with many having been with us since
2000, the team is motivated by our leading innovations, rather than being assembled for the
purpose of ‘pump and dump’ by SD-WAN start-ups with short term motivators such as stock
options
• We are enforcing our patents on the start-ups violating them. As competitors remove the offending
features, their products become simple failover products with remote management without the
features needed to be a true SD-WAN product
• Fatpipe has a COTS CPE product that provides multiple services that are required by end users,
including solid WAN Optimization. FatPipe is working with two entities to provide those features in
their uCPEs
• As corporations are looking to replace Blade Servers with COTS hardware and software driven
solutions, Fatpipe’s HQ and data center COTS hyper-converged network products are a good
replacement for typical blade server architecture in SMEs
FatPipe Summary
11. • FatPipe is not a silicon valley start-up looking to ‘pump and dump’ the company in a sale and not
able to support or innovate for the customer in the long term
• We have invested nearly $100 Million Dollars in the development of SD-WAN, Hybrid-WAN and
network optimization solutions
• Large Market Opportunity
– SD-WANs have come of age and represent a multi-billion dollar market opportunity
– Driven by the shift to cloud architectures and applications and a distributed workplace/workforce
• Our unique features and functionality includes:
– Support for flat networks; network that are not traditionally routable
– Support for dynamic protocols like BGP, OSPF and EIGRP
– Support for dynamic / rotating IP addresses with broadband links
– Support for certificate and key based encryption
– Full WAN optimization – caching, compression and de-duplication
– Site failover for disaster recovery

COTS hardware and software driven solutions, Fatpipe’s HQ and data center COTS hyper-
converged network products are a good replacement for typical blade server architecture in SMEs
