Description

The network challenge

The Wide Area Network (WAN) has inherent delay and bandwidth
limitations. Applications deployed across the WAN are inefficient
and slow due to these limitations. Further to this, repetitive data
is sent across the WAN, increasing total utilization and introducing
congestion. More applications further compete for these limited
WAN resources causing congestion and degradation of critical
applications. IT managers are demanding far more economic
and effective ways to manage and optimize their existing
infrastructure by understanding how it is used, defining what's
important for the business and accelerating application
performance.

The solution

Exinda Networks‘ x700 series provides a range of traffic
management appliances suitable for branch office, head office
and data centre sites. These appliances feature award-winning
technology that enable you to easily report on application activity
and guarantee performance of the important applications. With
ARM technology, Exinda allows you to quantify application
response times from a user's point of view at the remote site.
This in turn assists in optimizing with greater accuracy and
understanding how users directly benefit from effective
optimization.

Technology

Application Layer 7 Classification and Monitoring
Signature based classification identifies applications such as
Peer-to-Peer and those that use common protocols such as
HTTP. Exinda's High speed hardware (ASIC) based classification
(6720) allows wirespeed monitoring at speeds of up to 1G.
Track usage and network utilisation by application, hosts or
conversations. Extensive reporting via automated PDF and CSV
exports and SQL connector.

Application Specific Analysis Modules (ASAM)
Exinda supports modules for detailed classification and analysis
of specific applications such as HTTP, VoIP, Citrix. Monitor voice
calls and conversations in realtime.

Application Response Measurement (ARM)
Monitor application response times across network and server
infrastructure. Measure and manage user experience across
applications.

Adaptive Response (AR)
Set alerts, notifications and run custom scripts based on system
wide triggers.

Policy based QoS
Allow for granular traffic control and application quality of
service (QoS).
