  • Observe WAN and frame relay activity
  • Actively manage network traffic with QoS
  • Monitor network health
  • Centrally manage devices, monitor & report

Enterprises with multiple offices face unique challenges. Like enterprises of all sizes, they struggle to manage the exponential growth in the use of the Internet and the corporate WAN, as well as the unprecedented demands for IP networking resources. As network managers at these organizations seek to allocate network resources based on business priorities, effective management of VoIP, Oracle and Citrix requires active traffic management and visibility beyond the LAN and into the WAN.

Policy-Powered Networking



Allot Communications NetRealityŽ network bandwidth management devices let you link your business policies to specific network actions that improve and control users' productivity and satisfaction. Deployed on the WAN, NetReality offers full visibility of all traffic running on the network. NetReality, the WanXplorer server and the WanXplorer console enable you to prioritize network traffic and create real-time and historical reports on application performance.

Three Steps to Policy Powered Networking


Policy-Powered Networking lets you efficiently manage traffic crossing the WAN of an enterprise network. The process of implementing a Policy-Powered Networking solution includes three steps:

1) Autodiscover WAN connections and PVCs

Use the NetReality devices to autodiscover physical interface configurations, logical circuits and traffic. After several moments, the WanXplorer console Topology Tree displays your network topology with color-coded icons that indicate your network's health.


2) Monitor WAN Traffic



Monitor network traffic using the WanXplorer console. Use detailed traffic reports to provide real-time troubleshooting of congested circuits. Determine which applications and traffic flows are business-critical or affect network performance and require management.

3) Define policies and enforce the rules

Use the WanXplorer console to define desired QoS policies. Assign minimum and maximum bandwidth boundaries for your traffic flows and prioritize traffic. For example, guarantee each Citrix conversation a minimum of 16 Kbps on all WAN connections during peak business hours, while limiting Citrix remote printing to 20% of the circuits.


Features and Benefits

Observe WAN and Frame Relay Activity

NetReality's unique position on the WAN lets you observe WAN and frame relay activity throughout your network. NetReality's high-performance hardware analyzes all frames that flow through the WAN link and transports the analyzed and statistical information to the centralized WanXplorer server for analysis and reporting.


The Real-Time Conversation Monitor

  • Actively Manage Network Traffic with QoS

    More than a passive monitoring device, NetReality lets you apply quality of service (QoS) to congested links, shaping and prioritizing traffic in order to maximize application performance. The product's unique WAN placement also lets you apply bandwidth management to traffic flows between WAN links that do not reach the LAN segment.

  • Monitor Network Health

    The color-coded WanXplorer Topology Tree lets you quickly and easily view the status of your network links and gives you an overall indication of your network's health. Real-time performance reports offer macro and micro views of WAN traffic and performance. For example, you can view top consumers of bandwidth or discover who is downloading large digital music files during business hours.

  • Centrally Manage Devices, Monitor & Report

    NetReality's WanXplorer server and management console let you centrally manage NetReality devices as well as perform real-time monitoring, historical analysis and reporting. NetReality provides statistical information for the centralized WanXplorer database. WanExplorer uses this information to create trend, statistical, and analytical reports that enable you to learn your network's current, daily, or weekly behavior.


Maximize ROI on Existing Network Infrastructure

Maximize the ROI on your existing corporate network by using NetReality to effectively manage bandwidth contention. On many networks as little as 5% of the users use up to 80% of the bandwidth, often for non-business purposes. By limiting these bandwidth abusers with NetReality, you can delay upgrading your WAN connection until it is truly a business requirement-and thereby let NetReality actually pay for itself.

Receive Intelligent Alerts

With NetReality, there is no need to babysit the network. NetReality's intelligent alerts can inform you by email, pager or cellular phone when there is an SLA breach or a network link failure. This enables you to take corrective action before the problem becomes costly. In addition, you can also automate network reactions to specific events or alarms by selecting from among a variety of programs/scripts or designing your own.


The WanXplorer Global Events Window

Verify Service Level Agreements

By tracking your WAN performance against committed information rates (CIR), you can verify whether your service provider is meeting your service level agreement for frame relay, IP services or particular application. For example, use NetReality to create standards-compliant reports for MTBF or SLA breaches.


An SLA Breaches Report

Intuitive Java-based GUIs

NetReality's WanXplorer management console has intuitive Java-based GUIs and menus for device configuration, policy editing and creation, traffic monitoring, and reporting/analysis. Extensive use of right-clicks and double-clicks ease navigation and speed access to critical network traffic information.

Multi-Layer Policy Support

The NetReality's multi-layer policy support is especially designed for the QoS needs of corporate networks. Create policies and rules that guarantee bandwidth for mission-critical applications such as Oracle, Citrix and VoIP or limit bandwidth to excessive consumers such as SQL or FTP.


The Policy Editor

Implement WAN-Based Accounting (Optional)

The WanAccountant software add-on for NetReality is an application and content usage management tool for frame relay and IP networks. WanAccountant works in conjunction with the WanXplorer management system to create graphical accounting reports for cost accounting and xSP verification, capacity planning, and resource management.

Monitor and Prioritize VoIP Traffic (Optional)

The NetReality WanTel software add-on enhances your NetReality with voice-over-WAN capability. WanTel enables you to monitor and analyze integrated voice/data calls, prioritize and shape voice traffic, and perform WAN accounting for data and voice.
