About Converged Traffic Manager
The Converged Traffic Manager(TM) (CTM) is the industry's first application-aware performance management solution to enable the toll-quality VoIP, jitter-free IP video, and business-IP response times that are crucial to enabling the lower cost and higher value of IP convergence.
The CTM integrates best-of-breed traffic monitoring, traffic management, compression and caching with advanced application layer visibility and control to assure WAN efficiency and application performance for converging IP voice, data and video applications. It is easily deployed as a seamless overlay to an existing IP network.
About the Converged Access Point (CAP)
The Converged Access Point(TM) (CAP) guarantees the best possible application performance with optimal WAN efficiency and security in an affordable solution for small/remote enterprise offices supporting business-critical data, VoIP, and IP video applications. The "all-in-one" CAP platform combines advanced traffic management, firewall, routing, VoIP gateway and Wi-Fi functions in an easy-to-deploy and operate package enabling best-in-breed integration, security and performance control.
About the Centralized Policy Manager (CPM)
The Centralized Policy Manager (CPM) enables centralized policy-setting, reporting, distribution and control of remote CAI devices. With the CPM, administrators can easily optimize the performance of large-scale Converged Traffic Manager (CTM) deployments.
The CPM is the only policy-based network manager to automatically and dynamically adjust QoS policies based on current network conditions. The CPM's Adaptive Policy Management monitors performance thresholds that can be set by application, location and user. Threshold alerts are then used to assess and automatically adjust policies based on real time network conditions. This unique feedback loop allows administrators to assess the effectiveness of policies and to fine-tune them as network and/or user needs dictate -- even on the fly.
