Manage bandwidth resources effectively

A bandwidth manager can provide significant improvement in bandwidth utilisation and in effect, can yield increased productivity with less bandwidth i.e. get more out of your existing bandwidth without having to purchase more.

Control your customers’ or staff’s usage

If you are an ISP or a corporation needing to allocate and even charge for bandwidth across departments, AstroFlowGuard allows you to control your customers' usage so that you can manage your critical backbone bandwidth. The solution allows you to control traffic by IP address, port or by traffic type which allows specific services (such as HTTP, SMTP, FTP) to be either "guaranteed bandwidth" or be "bandwidth limited" to any rate up to the full bandwidth available.

Enforce and Verify Service Level Agreements

You may have bandwidth service level requirements (VOIP priority etc) that cannot be met by simply leaving it to chance. In this case AstroFlowGuard allows you to allocate bandwidth to a particular class of data and guarantee that other, non-critical traffic types don't use more bandwidth than you want them to.

Monitor network activity and log events

The system monitors allow you to view real-time network activity via a Web interface, which provides a logical and intuitive view of your network classes and their associated priorities.
