EDGE SERIES

Total Link ControlThe EdgeXL appliances are designed

to provide an easy to use single point

of management for all bandwidth

functions at the networks edge.

This includes the ability to shape

applications, provide network high

availability, and optimize remote

connectivity to central sites.

Tra!c Shaping

Ensures that critical applications get

the priority required to deliver fast

responsiveness to end-users.

Network Load Balancing

Delivers 99.999% uptime for network

resources and provides an inexpensive

upgrade path for additional bandwidth.

VPN Security Enhancement

Assured availability and fast access to

services through the binding of diverse

tunnels and high-speed encryption

between remote networks.

WAN Optimization

Provides fast downloads for large !le

transfers, database access, and speeds

responsiveness for critical applications.

What Is UBM?Uni!ed Bandwidth Management

or UBM is an emerging trend in packet

shaping appliances where a single point

of management is used to control all

bandwidth resources at the edge of

the network.

The advantages of such a design include:

Ease Of Management

XRoads Networks delivers a central

bandwidth management appliance

that IT administrators can easily use

to identify, analyze, and resolve network

resource issues.

Increased Productivity

XRoads Networks ensures continuous

productivity through application

acceleration and reliability guarantees

unlike any other appliance on the

market today.

Improved Quality of Service

XRoads Networks delivers a feature set

designed to prioritize, optimize, and

accelerate applications while at the same

time ensuring 99.999% uptime for both

local and remote users.

TOTAL l i n k ControlTM(TLC)

Uni!ed Bandwidth Management Systems

With todays networks becoming increasingly complex; speed, responsive-

ness, and visibility are fast becoming an urgent requirement for IT adminis-

trators. The growth of wide-area networks (WANs) which connect local

users to the Internet and remote users to the corporate backbone, are

becoming a signi!cant part of the network infrastructure.

The main dif!culty is ensuring that business-critical applications such as

VoIP (Voice over the Internet), CRM (Customer Relationship Management)

and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), remain highly responsive and that

remote applications like Citrix, Oracle, and Terminal services remain highly

available over virtual private networks (VPNs).

Network Trafc ShapingAuto-Acceleration provides one-click

application prioritization while AutoFlow

ensures consistent bandwidth availability

for critical network services. Policy

enforcement enables cost reductions

by reducing bursting penalties on usage

based links (eliminate billing surprises).

Comprehensive bandwidth control over

users, applications and content with

guaranteed service levels.

Network Load BalancingScale network resources by multi-homing

diverse broadband links without complex

protocols (no BGP). Eliminate IT head-

aches with transparent balancing of

network traf!c. With continuous multi-

level outage detection and built-in Best

Path Routing capabilities to accelerate

critical network connections.

VPN/WAN OptimizationImprove virtual private network response

times, download speeds (up to 10:1), and

availability. Combine multiple WAN links

to deliver 99.999% uptime for VPN

connections and up to !ve times the

security provided over standard VPN

connections.

Network Reporting Real-Time visibility into network

bandwidth and application usage.

Identify application usage, top band-

width users, and create custom reports.

Policy statistics provide enhanced usage

accounting, including peak and total

usage per hour/day/week/month.

SecurityProtection of WAN links against Denial of

Service attacks, and bu"er over#ow

attempts with built-in virus detection

and !ltering capabilities. The EdgePRO

appliances also incorporate enterprise-

class, object oriented, stateful inspection

!rewalling with enhanced logging

capabilities (ICSA compliant).

Application FilteringLayer-7 Deep Packet Inspection

enables the automated identi!cation

and categorization of various malicious

and recreational applications such as

peer-to-peer and chat services and

one-click !ltering of unwanted

applications.

Uni!ed Bandwidth Management Appliances Deliver Total Link

Control via Network Traf!c Shaping, Network Load Balancing,

VPN/WAN Optimization, Network Reporting and Monitoring.
