Bandwidth Manager

Gain total visibility and control of your data networks

Optimise your Wide Area Network (WAN) resources with Macquarie Telecom's Bandwidth Manager. This device-based tool provides you with visibility into application traffic running across your WAN. Bandwidth Manager helps you understand how much bandwidth is being used by specific applications, as well as what servers, office locations and users they are associated with.

When you know which applications are consuming valuable bandwidth, you can make informed decisions about controlling that traffic to ensure optimal use. Bandwidth Manager helps you get more value out of your existing resources.

Key Advantages of Bandwidth Manager

• Gaining visibility - Get transparency into how network assets are being utilised. Understand which applications traverse the network, what portion of network bandwidth they consume, how well they are performing, and where delays originate.
• Maximising bandwidth - Stretch existing capacity and use the extra bandwidth to support mission critical applications. Substantiate the need for additional bandwidth with policy-based bandwidth allocation to ensure critical applications such as SAP and Oracle have priority access.
• Identifying non-critical activities - Improve employee productivity and organisational efficiency. Isolate unsanctioned and recreational traffic such as KaZaA and AudioGalaxy consuming limited resources and producing non-revenue generating activity.
• Improving security - Get an excellent second line of defence to perimeter security. Bandwidth Manager detects virus, worm, or denial-of-service types of attacks and disrupts or limits their impact.
• Deploying new applications - Ensure new applications will effectively deliver their stated business benefits. Bandwidth Manager will supply steady streams for new applications to ensure smooth performance, reserving or capping bandwidth using an explicit rate, percentage of capacity, or priority.
