Control how your network is used and ensure critical applications, users and websites always have priority with extensive bandwidth management
Lightspeed Network Traffic Manager lets you keep an eye on your overall network health, and keep critical applications running on your busy network with bandwidth management capabilities. Advanced reporting makes it easy to spot and resolve problems with hardware, software, overall system performance, and bandwidth utilisation.
Benefits
Your network gives users access to the content, systems, and services that create a rich and powerful working environment. But network misuse, tight resources, and lack of information can make managing your network time-consuming and frustrating. Lightspeed Network Traffic Manager helps you maintain the availability and performance of your network with traffic and bandwidth management.
Keeps your network running smoothly. The performance of your network relies on access to network health and usage information. Network Traffic Manager allows you to ensure the availability of critical services by giving you an easy-to-understand overview of network usage and by providing you with the tools to manage traffic issues.
Allows you to quickly pinpoint and resolve problems. Problems with your network can be tracked down to a user, application, computer, or time of day. And flexible rules make it easy for you to adjust your traffic management to resolve problems—before they impact users and systems.
Manages network bandwidth. Guarantee bandwidth for your critical applications while blocking or limiting the bandwidth used by non-priority applications.
