NetPriva Edge Virtual Gateway is affordable software that runs on an existing office PC or server and ensures that the user(s) important applications, such as SAP, CRM, and VoIP, are guaranteed the minimum wide area network (WAN) bandwidth required for consistent and good response times. Non time sensitive or unimportant traffic is constrained to the background. Non sanctioned traffic can be stopped altogether. NetPriva Edge Virtual Gateway improves the user experience and productivity.
Key points about NetPriva Edge Virtual Gateway ("EdgeVG"):
Small software footprint, no noticeable impact on PC performance or LAN performance in a branch or remote office location. Suits up to 250 PCs per location.
Instant real time visibility of WAN traffic to / from each PC.
Automatically identifies all applications, including custom applications, for ease of visibility and classification into “important”, “non time sensitive / important”, “unsanctioned”.
Templates to quickly set up / manage policies to guarantee bandwidth to important applications -by application or user by Port, URL (for example *salesforce*), source or destination IP address, Protocol (TCP, UDP), Citrix ICA tags. Can be extended to application (executable) name, and user (login) by installing NetPriva EPDirect Agent on each user PC.
Policies activated only at times of congestion, dynamic use of bandwidth at all times.
Where EdgeVG and EPDirect are deployed in combination, policies are applied prior to encryption for network performance and security.
Facility to mark / color packets (DiffServ) for routing management.
Packet headers not altered ensuring network transparency.
PC mobility - where EdgeVG and EPDirect are deployed in combination, user PCs automatically find their policy according to location.
Time and cost effective troubleshooting – per second granularity, real time visibility and instant replay of network scenarios.
System and deployment notes EdgeVG runs on Windows XP/2000 and Windows server 2003 platforms. Configurable to run on PCs or servers running Microsoft ICS, VPN, or RAS and Cisco VPN. Configurable to provide visibility and shaping for non Windows devices in the one location, including network printers, VoIP hard phones, and Linux devices.
