EDGE SERIES

Total Link Control

The 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.
Trafc 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 fle
transfers, database access, and speeds
responsiveness for critical applications.
What Is UBM?
Unifed 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.

Unifed 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 signifcant part of the network infrastructure.
The main diffculty 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 Traffc Shaping
Auto-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 Balancing
Scale network resources by multi-homing
diverse broadband links without complex
protocols (no BGP). Eliminate IT head-
aches with transparent balancing of
network traffc. With continuous multi-
level outage detection and built-in Best
Path Routing capabilities to accelerate
critical network connections.
VPN/WAN Optimization
Improve 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 fve 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.
Security
Protection of WAN links against Denial of
Service attacks, and bufer overfow
attempts with built-in virus detection
and fltering capabilities. The EdgePRO
appliances also incorporate enterprise-
class, object oriented, stateful inspection
frewalling with enhanced logging
capabilities (ICSA compliant).
Application Filtering
Layer-7 Deep Packet Inspection
enables the automated identifcation
and categorization of various malicious
and recreational applications such as
peer-to-peer and chat services and
one-click fltering of unwanted
applications.
Unifed Bandwidth Management Appliances Deliver Total Link
Control via Network Traffc Shaping, Network Load Balancing,
VPN/WAN Optimization, Network Reporting and Monitoring.
