Technical Update


:: 1700 User Manual
Exinda has released an online User Manual for the Exinda 1700 appliance.

:: Layer 7 Application Signatures – The need to keep up to date

You wouldn't run your network without virus protection, so why would you risk not having up to date application signatures.

Having built layer 7 application awareness into the product set, Exinda Networks is constantly writing, updating and releasing application signatures.

Recently added applications include: Gaming applications, Oracle signature and others.

With the ever increasing rate of new rogue applications being released it is important that customers ensure they are up to date and correctly identifying theses applications that steal bandwidth from critical business applications. P2P applications that are invisible to most firewalls also open up the network to potential hackers via the back door.

:: Sneak preview:

Reporting enhancements with release dates in 2006 Q3:

VoIP / SIP
- real time and historical reporting for SIP based Voice over IP networks. Analyze data by caller name and number, receiver name and number, handset type, codec used etc.

Citrix Published Application - real time and historical reporting for Citrix Published Applications. See what applications are being used over the WAN inside of the Citrix enviroment and prioritise critical citrix applications. Create predictable user performance for Citrix environments.

 

 
Technical Tip

:: What bandwidth am I really getting .

It is important to correctly match your Exinda WAN Optimization policies to the real bandwidth throughput at layer three (the Network Layer). Search for "What bandwidth am I really getting" at Exinda's knowledge base.
