The Traffic Redirection module works closely with the Health Monitoring module and performs Layer 4 – 7 switching based on resource availability. Traffic Redirection optimizes the usage of the routers by applying intelligent dispatching algorithms. In case of failures of any of the network elements, Traffic Management allows the traffic to bypass faulty elements. Optimization and full utilization of the existing resources guarantee 24/7 application availability, security, provide high performance, and translate into better return on investment.
Further optimization of network resources is performed by the means of Bandwidth Management. This module allows you to translate your business strategy and priorities into Bandwidth Management policies. For example, you can assign high priority to mission-critical applications such as ERP and CRM, while limiting the bandwidth consumption of non-business applications like BitTorrent and eMule.
The explosion in the number of application-level attacks that are tunneling their way into organizations’ networks through firewalls cause severe losses by compromising the availability and the performance of mission-critical applications. The advanced Security modules constitute an integral part of the LinkProof intelligent application switching process, providing protection against various attacks, worms, and viruses.
