The UBM platform is a modular security system which incorporates a number of bandwidth management components. The following is a list of some of the primary features built-in to the UBM appliance, including a number of patented technologies not found in other products on the market today. For more information, please contact an XRoads Networks sales representative.
Unique bonding technology which combines multiple Internet connections (3Mbps + 5Mbps = 8Mbps) in order to dramatically accelerate web site downloads from one or more remote web server resources.
Multiple ISP tunnel bonding (for improved performance) and automated tunnel failover highlight the capabilities of the EdgeXOS appliance when it comes to connecting remote and/or branch offices to central data centers.
Dynamic Bandwidth Management includes unique traffic shaping and QoS capabilities for web and other applications which greatly simplifies bandwidth control. DBM automatically minimizes P2P usage and bandwidth hogs, thus preventing "network slowdowns".
Intelligent next generation vector routing technology which is designed to automatically adjust network routes as needed to optimize web traffic and prioritize web-based application performance and ensure 99.999% uptime.
The UBM firewall provides customers with the ability to replace or offset their existing firewall capabilities, specific web-based content filtering. The rules-based firewall enables the administrator to allow or deny traffic and/or log traffic based on URL for simplified troubleshooting.
The UBM platform includes real-time web usage and network reporting using our XFlow technology. XFlow monitors network traffic and reports on throughput, application usage, and top users via continuously updated graphs.
Easy and transparent web content filtering firewall solution, no changes to the existing IP addressing or the network configuration is required. The UBM platform includes a simple web interface which enables administrators to get up and running quickly.
Built-in to each UBM appliance is a full set of standard network routing capabilities, including DHCP, VLANs, secondary interface addresses, static routing, RIP/OSPF routing, and XRoads’ specific routing algorithms.
Unique to the UBM platform, DPI performs a multitude of network tests in order to determine the status of each WAN link. This includes physical link detection, as well as Layer 2 and Layer 3 testing to check each hop out to the Internet.
In the event of a network outage, the UBM platform automatically detects and fails over to the remaining active connections. SLA reporting and deep path inspection constantly monitors link status.
Prioritize application traffic and/or guarantee bandwidth for a certain application, user or group of users. Control bandwidth based on max throughput or max data usage over a period of time. Select from twelve levels of QoS shaping.
Increase productivity for end-users by implementing the web caching module within the UBM platform. Web caching speeds up common file downloads and improves overall Internet performance.
Enterprise class web content filtering with built-in real-time filtering database, allow and deny lists, and category based filtering options. The UBM platform delivers the ultimate web filtering experience with MultiWAN optimization.
This network monitoring and dynamic routing technology ensures that mission critical application traffic always uses the best path by performing SLA and other testing to remote network resources.
The UBM appliance utilizes its VNAT application proxy to provide inbound application load balancing and automated failover. Enables administrators to quickly setup fully redundant application delivery across multiple ISP connections.
Unique to the UBM platform is its ability to perform ESP ensuring that critical application traffic, like SSL or VPN traffic, does not get reset due to a change in how traffic is routed (unlike other generic load balancing solutions).
Unique to the UBM platform, this module performs detailed testing of WAN links when they fail in order to determine why they failed, where the problem might be, and what steps should be taken to resolve the issue.
The UBM platform includes an unsurpassed level of customized reporting and management capabilities. XRoads Networks has developed a complete tool kit for customers, or they can use our own XOS Global Manager (XGM).
