Challenge:
Your VP of Marketing has just launched the "mother" of all
campaigns designed to increase your customer base. Your projections
suggest that you will see a high response rate. Will your
network be prepared to accommodate this new growth or will
you have to provision for additional bandwidth? Additional
bandwidth is expensive and generally does not pay for itself
quickly, and is often added to deal with peak traffic loads,
which means a lot of that new bandwidth goes unused most of
the time.
Solution:
Dyband addresses the challenges of preparing your network
for growth by allowing you to manage and report on your company's
most important asset- bandwidth. By managing bandwidth, you
can expect to reduce your backbone provisioning costs by confidently
adding a significant number of new subscribers to your existing
connections without impacting your customers' services.
Dyband will permit you to add new subscribers
by redistributing bandwidth as a result of:
-
Dynamically controlling bandwidth usage
in aggregate, in groups and right down to individual subscribers
-
Evaluating available bandwidth capacity
100 times per second - regardless of congestion.
-
Adding only a very small amount of latency
to your network - between 12 and 15ms nominal - about
the same as two router hops.
-
Dynamically shaping individual and aggregate
bandwidth usage based on traffic conditions and parameters
that you have set, immediately and non-intrusively
-
Shaping traffic for up to 50,000 managed
objects- gateways, subnets, groups, and individual subscribers
by IP address
-
Enabling a variety of allocation schemes
(guaranteed, preferred, equitable) for distributing available
bandwidth across all subscribers during both normal and
congested conditions
-
Protecting against aggressive users
by allowing rate limits based on usage · Managing inbound/outbound
traffic separately at each network point
-
Maintaining a 24-hour moving window
of performance data
-
Showing average and peak consumption
and percentage of transfer time affected by congestion
-
Storing statistics in a SQL database
for historical analysis and integration with billing systems,
as well as providing reports for you and your customers.
By dynamically managing and controlling your
bandwidth you gain insight into the amount of bandwidth available
for customer service level upgrades and for new customer growth.
Dyband will not eliminate the need to provision new bandwidth
- it will delay it - ensuring that you've made the most efficient
use of all available bandwidth before incurring the cost of
provisioning additional pipe.
