Bandwidth Management & Shaping Appliance

The NETaXcel product incorporates two unique technologies called DBM (Dynamic Bandwidth Management) and Accelibond™ ISP Bonding. These technologies enable network administrators to improve throughput and performance for mission critical applications.

DBM automatically determines the 'bad' traffic and throttles it so that mission critical applications, like VoIP, have the bandwidth they need.

Accelibond™ w/Multi-Session Acceleration combines multiple ISP links for more bandwidth. Over 70% of all Internet traffic is web traffic. The NETaXcel appliance accelerates web-based connectivity for offices, hotels, and multitenant facilities by combining two or more broadband connections in order to dramatically increase network throughput to the Internet with automated failover.

Example: Combine a 3Mbps connection with a 5Mbps connection to obtain download speeds of 8Mbps, and obtain file downloads across multiple resources of over 15Mbps to any Internet web server.

Prevent Network Slowdowns
Instantly eliminate network 'slowness' issues by reducing P2P and other non-critical network applications.

Policy-Based Shaping
Many customers require the ability to set specific rate limits for groups of end-users (subscribers), or specific servers and/or applications. The NETaXcel's policy-based shaping provides the ability to set specific bandwidth rates for defined networks and/or applications. Policies can be created based on IP address, subnet, source/destination, port, protocol, signature, or even URL. Each policy provides full utilization reporting.

MSA Bandwidth Bonding
Multi-Session Acceleration is the ability to combine multiple ISP connections by initiating multiple sessions across various links and servers in order to accelerate web-based downloads.

Network Reporting
A critical aspect of any traffic shaping appliance is its ability to provide real-time network reporting, as without reporting how does the network administrator know what policies to create. The NETaXcel appliance includes both caned and custom user-defined reports which are updated in real-time.
