Manage bandwidth utilization with WAN optimization, P2P control and application acceleration.

Real-time Monitoring
Gain real-time visibility into network activity with bandwidth management in order to identify performance issues as they are happening and rapidly troubleshoot your network. Alerts, warning and email notifications inform administrators of configuration errors, NIC drops and transmit/receive errors.

Rich Reporting
View summary reports of network activity or drill down for a more detailed granular view in order to pinpoint areas of concern on the network. Summarize and categorize peer-to-peer (P2P) and recreational traffic to determine how much time and data is being spent on non-business activities.

Library of Pre-built Reports
An extensive collection of out-of-the-box report templates means you can spend less time and effort building reports, freeing up valuable resources to focus on more critical tasks.

Automatic Report Delivery
Automatically generate and distribute reports via email to customers, users and stakeholders to keep them informed of key metrics that are important to your organization. Deliver reports in PDF format or in a format suitable for import into existing business intelligence applications for further analysis.

Historical Reporting
Run reports to identify trends in network usage and to support capacity planning. See how network usage has grown over time to better predict when you will need to add more bandwidth. Select custom reporting timeframes to align with business cycles, e.g. university terms, semesters, billing cycles or fiscal quarters.

Microsoft^® Active
Directory Integration
Integration with Microsoft Active Directory provides fine-grained visibility into network usage by mapping all network traffic to an Active Directory user name. Monitor traffic in real-time by user name and IP address, run reports by individual user and set optimization policies by user or user group for precise control.

Application Identification
Accurately identify application traffic on your network through deep-level inspection, Layer 7 packet classification and behavior monitoring.

Application Response Measurement
Objectively measure the response times of any application on your network and quickly troubleshoot network performance issues that are impeding application response and impacting the user experience.

Service Delivery Point (SDP)
Centrally manage all Exinda appliances on your network using an intuitive Web-based interface for bandwidth utilization. Gain visibility across your network and simplify network management tasks including policy-setting and firmware updates.

Fair Sharing
Easily allocate specific amounts or percentages of bandwidth to individual users, user groups or sub-nets to ensure that no single user or host can monopolize your bandwidth.

Policy-based traffic Management
Control bandwidth utilization by limiting or eliminating unwanted network traffic such as P2P or other recreational traffic. Prevent low-priority traffic from interfering with the performance of your WAN or impeding response times for critical applications.

Evasive Application
Traffic Detection
Layer 7 application signatures, behavior monitoring and advanced heuristics allow network administrators to detect and control applications that are designed to be evasive such as P2P and file sharing applications.

Adaptive Response
Automatically change the behavior of your network based on certain user-defined events and triggers. Set policies that allow your network to adapt to changing traffic conditions without requiring manual intervention.

Guarantee Bandwidth
Ensure that your business-critical applications have sufficient bandwidth available when and as needed. With bandwidth optimization, you can increase productivity and improve the user experience by ensuring consistent response times and performance for the applications running on your WAN.

Prioritization
Set the priority of applications and allocate bandwidth accordingly. Should a bottleneck occur, your network can logically prioritize traffic to ensure that your most critical applications have the bandwidth they need.

Intelligent Acceleration
Improve application performance and reduce latency with a combination of TCP acceleration and application acceleration (CIFS, MAPI and HTTP). Selectively accelerate traffic based on an understanding of your users, applications and business needs.

Advanced Caching
Improve response times and lower bandwidth utilization by caching frequently accessed links and sending only changed data across the network. The Exinda cache is dynamically provisioned in real-time based on the requirements of each branch office or location. Caching for small data blocks improves the performance for applications such as Microsoft Exchange and Oracle Forms. Persistent Cache retains WAN memory even if the Exinda appliance is rebooted to ensure consistent acceleration performance.

Differentiated Services Support
Give precedence to selected traffic types according to the Diffserv standard and pass this prioritization information along to other networking devices to improve overall Quality of Service (QoS). Seamlessly interoperate with MPLS networks to maximize traffic flow.

Scheduling
Your network experiences peaks and valleys in traffic throughout the day. A smart scheduling mechanism allows you to change the behavior of your network based on time of day and traffic flow, ensuring bandwidth optimization. Schedule periodic tasks such as backups for off-peak times when bandwidth utilization is low.
