Dynamic Bandwidth Manager

Dynamic Shaping

Our Dynamic Bandwidth Management technology can automatically shape traffic based on application type (including the blocking of P2P and IM apps), IP address, protocol, or defined user. The EdgeXOS appliance will monitor usage and under heavy usage conditions will slow down non-critical traffic in order to provide critical traffic with more bandwidth and better responsiveness.

Network Visibility

Gain understanding as to who is using network resources, when they are being used, and who is using them. Determine which applications are consuming bandwidth resources and which applications should be designated as mission critical. Then transfer this new understanding in to shaping rules to better management resources.

Application Prioritization

Deploy comprehensive polic-based application control. Prioritize crtical applications whilke rate-limiting low priority applications. Create specific shaping rules for certain servers, or create bandwidth groups for individual users and/or networks. Set download limits for certain users and/or applications. Full per policy reporting built-in.

Why a Bandwidth and Content Manager?

Visibility, Control, and Greater Security are some of the key concerns for organizations which utilize the Internet to conduct their daily operations. The EdgeXOS platform is a fully integrated bandwidth shaping and content management appliance which puts control back in to the hands of the network administrator. Do you know who is using the most bandwidth on your network and manage that bandwidth on a per-user basis? Do you need to control end-user access to websites? Are your mission critical applications becoming less responsive? Do you want more bandwidth but don't want the added cost?

Benefits

The Bandwidth and Content Manager delivers traffic shaping and prioritization to improve network performance and control end-user access to value bandwidth resources. Through our Dynamic Bandwidth Management technology the EdgeXOS platform is able to actively adjust QoS policies in real-time in order to increase overall responsiveness.

The Bandwidth and Content Manager incorporates a complete web content filtering solution for organizations which wish to limit their liability, increase productivity, and manage bandwidth usage. With real-time URL categorization, reporting, and management, the EdgeXOS platform can mitigate ricks posed by the Internet.

The Bandwidth and Content Manager improves network visibility by providing the network administrator with detailed information with regards to who is using the most bandwidth, which applications are used the most, and when bandwidth usage is at its peak. This information can then be used to determine how to best shape the organizations traffic.

Dynamic Bandwidth Management & Prioritization

Our dynamic bandwidth management works by looking at current usage levels and applying policies based on those levels. As more bandwidth is used, the stricter the policies become. The network administrator can also create their own policies based on defined levels. Further policies can be created based on application type, protocol, port, IP address, MAC address, and/or a defined user which has been authenticated. The EdgeXOS is also able to identify and limit access to many P2P and Instant Messaging applications, including Skype. Learn More >

Extensive Network & Application Reporting

Only the EdgeXOS appliance includes this level of built-in network reporting capabilities. With our XFlow™ reporting capabilities network administrators can view who the top networks users are, what applications are used the most, and how much bandwidth is being used on each link in real-time. Our unique SLA reporting capabilities can be used to confirm whether your ISP is meeting its commitments and automatically adjust traffic routing in the event that a critical remote site begins to suffer connectivity problems via one of the WAN links by adjusting traffic to route across the more responsive paths.

Policy-Based Shaping

Utilize specific policies to shape bandwidth on a per user, per subnet, or per application basis. Bandwidth groups can be created to specifically limit users to a certain speed, down to as little as 10Kbps. Policies can be created based on user name (if DHCP is being used), IP address, network/subnet, port, protocol, application, source/destination, or any combination thereof. Further once created each policy creates usage statistics which are collected on an hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly basis and displayed via a web GUI interface, and can be downloaded to a CSV file for further analysis.

Network Acceleration

Most network/bandwidth management products on the market simply don't offer the ability to utilize multiple WAN links at the same time in order to improve throughput and reliability. Only the EdgeXOS platform with Multi-Session Acceleration™ is able to provide both traffic shaping and multi-link acceleration in order to increase downloads speeds. The EdgeXOS platform is able to combine the bandwidth of two or more ISP-links to accelerates connectivity. Learn More >
