Visibility
Real-time Monitoring
Gain real-time visibility into network activity to identify performance issues as
they are happening and rapidly troubleshoot your network.
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.
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 historical 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 or 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 name. Run reports by individual user and set optimization policies by user or user group for precise control over network usage.
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.
Control
Service Delivery Point (SDP)
Centrally manage all Exinda optimization appliances on your network using an intuitive
Web-based interface. Gain visibility across your network and simplify network management
tasks including policy-setting and appliance 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
Precisely control bandwidth availability 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
Detect and control applications that are designed to be evasive such as P2P and
file sharing applications using Layer 7 application signatures, behavior monitoring
and advanced heuristics.
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.
Optimization
Gaurantee Bandwidth
Ensure that your business-critical applications have sufficient bandwidth available
when and as needed. 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 to them 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
Selectively accelerate traffic based on a comprehensive understanding of your users,
applications and business needs. The ability to accelerate only the traffic you
select gives you more control over your network while improving application performance
and reducing latency.
Caching
Improve response times, lower bandwidth utilization and defer costly bandwidth upgrades
by caching frequently accessed links and sending only changed data across the network.
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. Schedule periodic tasks such as backups for off-peak
times when bandwidth utilization is low.
