Bandwidth Management

Bandwidth management is high priority and an important part of any IT teams strategy, in today’s climate ensuring network bandwidth is meeting the demands of the business is paramount. Traditionally, unless businesses wished to make costly investments into traffic prioritisation infrastructure, bandwidth allocation and management was virtually impossible to achieve to any detailed level, it was somewhat pot luck how traffic was routed across the network. With growing network demands through new applications, more demanding users and the need for flexibility to cater for remote workers and new sites being added, it is important that bandwidth is managed to ensure maximum possible performance, quality and efficiency. Bandwidth Management is a solution that does not increase bandwidth but allows you to control how you bandwidth is used, through applying specific policies to traffic, applications, destination and source addresses on the network you can control and optimise how your network.

Addressing business needs

With network infrastructures supporting multiple users, applications, and sites, managing efficiency and optimising usage can be a challenge. The more varied the traffic mix, the greater the need to control resources, with IMAXSYS Bandwidth Management you can control how your bandwidth is managed and overcome typical network constraints:

Network Congestion - The use of multiple users or heavy usage of bandwidth-hungry applications can create network congestion and slow performance. IMAXSYS Bandwidth Management allows you to establish bandwidth priorities based on source, destination, service or application and allocate specific bandwidth levels.

Insufficient bandwidth for critical applications - With a mix of critical and non-critical traffic sharing the same bandwidth, and peak data rates and bursts in network traffic, there is a need to guarantee performance of mission critical applications. IMAXSYS Bandwidth Management policies can be configured to provide critical applications with higher bandwidth availability and priority.

Delays and Latency - Real-time applications such as VoIP are bandwidth and time sensitive, and can be affected by problems such as latency, jitter and packet loss. IMAXSYS Bandwidth Management ensures business and bandwidth-critical application have traffic priority through dedicated bandwidth to guarantee consistent performance.

Bandwidth being choked - Some bandwidth-hungry applications (i.e. downloading large files, video sharing, etc.) can impact more critical users and applications on the network. IMAXSYS Bandwidth Management policies can ensure bandwidth availability for critical users and increase response time of critical applications (e.g. VoIP).

Making the most of your investment

With an IMAXSYS solution you can ensure you are utilising your network to suit the exact needs of your business and therefore ensure your networking spend is providing you with your specific requirements. With an increase in overall Internet and network usage and online applications, bandwidth is essential to an organisations operations and productivity, working with a IMAXSYS solution maximises your bandwidth productivity. Using IMAXSYS Bandwidth management tools enables you to guarantee uptime and performance for your network, whilst providing consistency of quality for real-time applications such as VoIP to ensure a higher Return-On-Investment.
