Traffic Shaping

DeepNines Bandwidth Manager

Traffic shaping manages bandwidth for allocating, prioritizing and protecting the network. Unfortunately with most traffic shaping solutions, it means choosing between one extreme or the other by either completely allowing or eliminating a certain type of traffic such as streaming media. With so many valid online applications and content that are critical to organizations today, this approach is no longer reasonable. Compounding this issue is that the Web is no longer contained to a single port or protocol, meaning that bandwidth management must have the intelligence and ability to enable network administrators to manage bandwidth granularly, by application, user, port, protocol, in order to be in control of Web usage and network resources.

DeepNines Bandwidth Manager monitors and manages network traffic across all ports and protocols. By providing complete user visibility, Bandwidth Manager allows you to make informed decisions on access and control through traffic shaping, regulating applications, and consumption prioritization. Bandwidth Manager enables organizations to enforce security policies, increase user productivity, guarantee network performance, and decrease networking costs associated with excessive bandwidth consumption and latency. Bandwidth Manager regulates Web traffic by individual, group or traffic type, providing total command of the Web for on-demand blocking, limiting and prioritization. As part of DeepNines solution, Bandwidth Manger interprets raw data from the system into useful information for traffic shaping.

Bandwidth controls can be set based on numerous criteria including type of traffic (i.e. streaming media), specific application (i.e. YouTube), user group, subnet, port and more. Overall bandwidth limits can also be set and once the threshold is reached, offending traffic is throttled while critical applications are given priority to provide complete traffic shaping for all Web content and applications.
