In the South African context, bandwidth and the costs associated with this resource will remain a hot topic. According to Integr8 IT`s technical director, Robert Sussman, the challenge is for businesses to allocate the correct bandwidth to the applications that drive and enable their processes and systems.
"South African companies are becoming more and more frustrated by continually providing more bandwidth to prevent performance problems on their WANs or Internet links. Why not manage the traffic and decide which traffic gets priority and how much bandwidth is available for, let`s say, Internet browsing," says Sussman.
"Whether you want to do this per IP address or on specific URLs, we can break down the bandwidth usage statistics into real financial terms that can give your business the tools in order to make informed decisions when it comes to bandwidth issues," adds Sussman.
The solution offers some unique features:
* Intelligently shape network bandwidth and deliver system-wide service level guarantees.
* Policy-based active traffic management, monitoring and reporting via local Web interface or centralised policy manager.
* Enforce service level agreements through delivery of tiered services, bandwidth brokering and bandwidth on demand.
