WAN Traffic Management Solution

The Need for Traffic Analysis

 Lack of visibility on the types of traffic on the LAN increases the likelihood that mission critical applications will not perform at the level needed, and that delay-sensitive applications will fail. Also, many companies are concerned over employee productivity, data security, litigation and the role electronic evidence plays in lawsuits and regulatory investigations.

AscenFlow: For intelligent traffic shaping

Xtera’s product solution, AscenFlow, ensures that mission critical applications are guaranteed sufficient bandwidth for optimal performance, and that delay sensitive applications (such as VoIP and Video Conferencing) are given the priority needed to maintain both voice and video quality. In addition, applications can be restricted by policy so as not to interfere with more critical business operations.

Monitoring, reporting and traffic shaping capability

AscenFlow is an edge device that sits at the intranet/internet boundary. It monitors and reports on the types of application traffic passing across the boundary and applies enterprise policies to traffic flows (Traffic Shaping). This ensures constant application performance and prevents both unintended traffic disruptions and intentional external attacks on enterprise networks.

Vertical markets

AscenFlow is used today by a range of organizations and enterprises, including:

• Universities and other educational institutions
• ISPs
• Manufacturers and general enterprise users
• Financial institutions
• Government departments
