Guaranteed Bandwidth Traffic Shaping
The NETaXcel product incorporates two unique technologies called
DBM (Dynamic Bandwidth Management) and URL policy-based shaping. 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.
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.
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.
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.
Features
The EdgeXOS (XRoads Operating System) platform is a modular system which incorporates a number of bandwidth management components. The following is a list of some of the primary features built-in to this EdgeXOS platform, including patented technologies not found in other products on the market today. For more information, please contact an XRoads Networks sales representative.
Adaptiband DBM - Dynamic Bandwidth Management includes unique traffic shaping and QoS capabilities which greatly simplifies bandwidth control. DBM automatically minimizes P2P usage and bandwidth hogs, thus preventing "network slowdowns".
Application QoS/Throttling - Prioritize application traffic and/or guarantee bandwidth for a certain application, user or group of users. Control bandwidth based on max throughput or max data usage over a period of time. Select from twelve levels of QoS shaping.
URL Shaping - Intelligent next generation shaping based on uniform resource location identification. Enables the prioritization of cloud-enabled services like Facebook, NetSuite, YouTube, and other online applications.
Comprehensive LAN Router - Built-in to each EdgeXOS appliance is a full set of standard network routing capabilities, including DHCP, VLANs, secondary interface addresses, static routing, RIP/OSPF routing, and XRoads' specific routing algorithms.
Real-Time Network Reporting - The EdgeXOS platform includes real-time network reporting using our XFlow technology. XFlow monitoris network traffic and reports on throughput, application usage, and top users via continuously updated graphs.
