All-In-One Solution

Internet Service Management Device (ISMD) is the industry's first "All-in-One" solution that supports multi-homing load balancing, application-level traffic shaping (QoS), real-time traffic monitor, historic traffic statistics reporting, worm attack detection/deterrence and firewall filtering. With this all-in-one design, ISMD is the best price/performance traffic manager in the market.

Easy to Deploy und Operate

ISMD deployment requieres no network changes or additional database managers, and works across heterogeneous network links in a "plug-and-forget" and "plug and serve" fashino. When multiple ISMDs are deplozed, the network manager can configure them in one shot via a centralized commando console without repeating the tedious and error-prone configuration task multiple times.

ISMD

Flexible Connectivity

ISMD works seamlessly in heterogeneous network environments with a wide variety of wired (xDSL, Cable and leased lines) and/or wireless (wireless LAN and cellular radio links) access links.

ISMD

Scalabiliy

ISMD can manage traffic on access links whose speed is up to 1 Gbps and up to 1,000,000 network connections. It can also balance the loads on up to 15 WAN links for both in-bound and out-bound traffic.

Security

ISMD supports a stateful firewall that can filter traffic from up to 1,000,000 connections. ISMD also provides a unique worm attack detection/deterrence mechanism, which prevents a worm attack from bringing down the protected network.

ROI in One Year

With all-in-one design, ISMD eliminates the need to purchase additional real-time network traffic monitor, DNS server, DHCP server or firewall. In addition, ISMD can improve an enterprise's WAN link utilization efficiency by prioritizing revenue-generating traffic, blocking bandwidth-hogging applications and preventing network service disruption due to worm attacks.

Enterprise

ISMD can seamlessly aggregate multiple low-cost access links (such as ADSL/Cable TV links) into a high-throughput and highly reliable access link with similar quality to leased lines.
With multi-homing load balancing, complete network service disruption is impossible as long as one link is up.
Mission critical applications such as VOIP, video conferencing and e-commerce traffic will never be affected by other unimportant applications such as FTP downloading and P2P applications.
Anti-worm features can quickly detect compromised hosts when they attack external hosts.

Campus/University

Prioritize distance-learning traffic.
Block bandwidth-hogging P2P traffic.
Prevent unauthorized servers through per-host quota enforcement.

Web-hosting/Co-location / ISP/Carrier

Offer innovative Internet services that are tailored to the specific needs of individual customers.
Balance traffic among peering links to maximize their utilization efficiency.

Cyber Cafes/Multi-Tenant Units

Reduce recurring network charges by replacing expensive T1 lines with multiple ADSL/Cable lines.
Allocate available wireless/wired link bandwidth fairly among sharing hosts.
Support VoIP over WLAN service.
