Together these hardware and software tools provide policy-based bandwidth management, server load balancing, cache redirection, network performance monitoring, and accounting services. A single set of policies control prioritization of applications and users, as well as the control and balance of this traffic to servers. This solution also assures maximum up time by automatically rerouting down-server traffic to alternate sites.
Policies determine which data is directed to local cache servers or remote, non-cached servers.
NetPolicy - Policy Based Management System Allot NetPolicy provides a centralized platform for network managers to define and distribute network policies to enforcement devices throughout a network. The NetPolicy supports LDAP for retrieving organizational data from standard directories to be applied to network QoS actions. The NetPolicy is COPS compliant and supports differentiated services.
