When connecting to services out in the cloud,
it is very important that your most critical applications receive
the highest priority, and that non-critical applications are
not allowed to use too much bandwidth. With the EdgeXOS platform
a network administrator can define specific bandwidth rules
to optimize certain mission critical applications as well as
provide increased throughput using various acceleration techniques.
Components
The following is a list of components included as part of
the QoS & Traffic Shaping feature set within the EdgeXOS platform.
Application Acceleration
This unique applied patented feature allows the EdgeXOS platform
to bond multiple WAN connections together, thus enabling higher
throughput rates for all web-based applications. Unlike other
WAN load balancing technology which balances session traffic
across multiple connections, this module actually enables to
combined speed of all active WAN links, thus two T1 connections
operating at 1.5Mbps each would appear to download web traffic
at up to 3.0Mbps.
Dynamic Bandwidth Management
This unique applied patented feature allows the EdgeXOS platform
to combine multiple WAN connections together, thus enabling
higher throughput rates for all web-based applications. Unlike
other WAN load balancing technology which balances session traffic
across multiple connections, this module actually enables to
combined speed of all active WAN links, thus two T1 connections
operating at 1.5Mbps each would appear to download web traffic
at up to 3.0Mbps.
Application Prioritization
This feature enables an administrator to assign preferences
for specific applications like VoIP, HTTPS, Citrix, etc. Prioritization
can be done through standard connection restrictions or through
DiffServ bit marking, rate policing, or any combination of the
three.
Policy-Based Shaping
When used in conjunction with our XFlow modules administrators
can easily assign bandwidth rate-limits and/or QoS priorities
on a per user or per group basis and then report on that usage.
This feature can set granular limits on a per user or per application
basis down to as little as 10K bits per second.
Best Path Routing
This unique applied patented feature enables network administrators
to implement granular traffic control for remote sites on the
Internet and ensures session persistence for critical remote
sites. Best Path Routing also works in conjunction with our
SLA Reporting module to ensure that critical remote traffic
always takes the fastest path, particularly during events of
high latency and/or packet loss.
ActiveDNS (Inbound WAN Balancing)
This unique and applied patented feature provides for inbound
WAN load balancing and failover through the automated manipulation
of DNS requests to the EdgeXOS platform. ActiveDNS can operate
on both direct and delegation modes which provides more flexibility
for network administrators when determining how to handle DNS
responses. ActiveDNS also has one of the fastest response mechanisms
on the market so that inbound WAN failover can occur within
seconds instead of minutes or even hours like some other solutions.
