Bandwidth Management

IP Traffic Shaping

Allot NetEnforcer bandwidth management devices provide the granular visibility and policy enforcement that network operators need to optimize the delivery, performance and profitability of WAN and broadband services. NetEnforcer devices are deployed in hundreds of installations the world over, where they allow network operators to monitor, identify, classify, prioritize, and shape, network traffic per application and per user. Providing real-time monitoring, QoS policy enforcement and traffic steering, these flexible devices helps operators control bandwidth utilization and costs while enhancing service quality for all network users.

With throughput ranging from 2Mbps to 6Gbps, Allot NetEnforcer devices are designed to suit the requirements of a wide range of IP-based networks.

Allot's solutions are designed to meet the needs for fair access and bandwidth management (QoS) by providing optimal network visibility, application control and subscriber management, all from a centralized location using a single GUI application. Furthermore, they enable the definition of thousands of policies for large numbers of subscribers, without affecting the speed of the traffic.

Intelligent Broadband Service Optimization Solutions for Wireless Providers

For wireless providers offering technologies such as WiMax and WiFi, network congestion is a key issue as they seek to provide fair access for all subscribers on comparatively narrow bandwidth. In particular, they seek solutions that ensure that no single subscriber is responsible for the majority of traffic consumption on a single base station in the network.

Intelligent Broadband Service Optimization Solutions for Satellite Providers

Network congestion is a key issue as satellite providers seek to provide fair access for all subscribers on comparatively narrow bandwidth. In particular, they seek solutions that ensure that no single subscriber is responsible for the majority of traffic consumption on a single base station in the network.

Intelligent Broadband Service Optimization Solutions for DSL Providers

The challenge for today's broadband service providers is to build an intelligent network that knows how to deliver the quality of experience (QoE) that each subscriber expects, while allowing providers to retain control over network usage. For DSL providers in particular, these challenges can be achieved by the powerful control of applications such as P2P, VoIP, streaming video and online gaming, and by ensuring network protection against attacks such as denial of service, SYN and spam. This will result in high levels of performance, quality of experience (QoE) and predictable operation costs.

Intelligent Broadband Service Optimization Solutions for University Providers

Large universities functioning as service providers and selling Internet services to dispersed campuses are challenged with providing subscriber monitoring for integration with billing and accounting systems. This is in addition to the demand to build an intelligent, congestion-free network with bandwidth management that delivers the quality of service (QoS) expected by each user - faculty, students and administration personnel alike – without resorting to the costly and futile solution of simply increasing bandwidth. This is often a tall order, as bandwidth-hungry students monopolize the network with P2P applications which negatively impact on the smooth running of mission-critical applications and can also expose the university to legal action for possible copyright abuse.

Intelligent Service Optimization Solutions for Banks and Financial Centers

Today's banks and financial centers must ensure that business-critical applications run at all times without interference, and guarantee visibility and security of all traffic running on the network. This is essential for smooth network operation, running of proprietary applications, protection against external attacks and prevention of information leakages.

Allot solutions provide the crucial visibility of network usage and user behavior, as well as the essential connection between hardware infrastructure and powerful application control. This eliminates network congestion, reduces bandwidth costs, and guarantees bandwidth for mission-critical applications and QoS. Furthermore, as many banks and financial centers changeover from distributed deployments to the consolidation of all servers and devices in a central location, Allot solutions can support networks from the backbone line, as well as support multiple lines from a single unit and provide redundancy.
