Control
Visibility helps you understand how your WAN is being used, but you still need the
ability to effectively manage the network. To maximize resources and meet user expectations
for fast access to applications, you need precise control over traffic. You must
also weigh legitimate business needs against your users’ right to open Internet
access. This may require P2P control and recreational traffic control that is as
non-intrusive to users as possible.
The Exinda Unified Performance Management solution
includes advanced policy-based traffic management and control. With Exinda, you
can share available bandwidth among various users, groups and applications while
restricting unwanted traffic. To keep low-priority traffic from interfering with
WAN performance and application response times, Exinda allows you to detect evasive
applications, limit the bandwidth allotted to P2P traffic or eliminate some types
of recreational traffic altogether.

traffic
- Detect applications that are designed to be evasive using Layer 7 application signatures
- Implement and automatically maintain a fair use policy for network resources
- Automatically change network behavior based on user-defined events and triggers
- Centrally manage network resources and set policies using a single intuitive interface
