WEBSENSE ENTERPRISE BANDWIDTH OPTIMIZER FOR BANDWIDTH MANAGEMENT

Websense Enterprise Bandwidth Optimizer (BWO) enables organizations to optimize their network bandwidth resources by prioritizing and managing network traffic in real time. As network traffic reaches preset thresholds, BWO manages new non-business-related uses and thereby ensures that critical business applications have priority access to network resources.

WEBSENSE ENTERPRISE BANDWIDTH OPTIMIZER ALLOWS YOU TO:

  • Set bandwidth thresholds for non-business-related websites, such as shopping and entertainment, and higher thresholds for work-related sites.

  • Implement bandwidth management for bandwidth allocated to instant messaging sites by setting thresholds that are appropriate to specific users or groups, allowing chatting when ample bandwidth is available.

  • Implement bandwidth management for bandwidth allocated to streaming media by blocking those applications when the network is running at or near capacity.

Allot Communications NetEnforcer Series

Allot Communications is the leading provider of intelligent IP service optimization solutions based on deep packet inspection (DPI) technology.

The ability of Allot deep packet inspection (DPI) technology to identify and classify data packets at wire speed gives IP service providers an unparalleled view of all the traffic traversing their networks.  Allot DPI functionality goes beyond Layer 7 awareness to enable deep analysis of static and dynamic protocols, application signatures, content patterns, and session behavior such as connections per second, without overstepping privacy boundaries. This visibility is the key to controlling and optimizing IP service delivery.

With deep packet inspection from Allot, broadband service providers gain end-to-end visibility into:

  • Subscriber usage patterns (per IP address or per user)
  • Application usage patterns
  • Most popular services (P2P, VoIP, online games, email, video…)
  • Most popular applications (e.g., P2P: BitTorrent, KaZaa, eDonkey, Gnutella, MP2P, FastTrack…)
  • Competing services and how much they use the network
  • Malicious traffic on the network
  • And much more…

Broadband service providers and enterprises around the world rely on Allot's DPI-based solutions for the granular visibility that is needed to monitor and analyze network usage; to control service delivery; to ensure quality of experience; to maximize ROI on infrastructure investments; and to increase average revenue per user.
