APconnections, which supplies plug and play bandwidth shaping products and is the developer of NetEqualizer (News - Alert), unveiled its most recent white paper that talks about that usually hidden expenses of several bandwidth control as well as WAN optimization technologies.

 

The white paper assesses the long-term return on investment (ROI) of bandwidth control tools that are used to offer the most thorough reporting to users. By doing this, the white paper also delves into the initial prices of the technology and the recurring cost of maintaining a strict network control like this. Thorough reporting methods compel administrations to spend more number of man hours interpreting results. These methods are also inclined to lead to a raise in time spent fine-tuning the network for the hard to achieve perfect outcome in this constantly changing environment.

Eli Riles, the director of technology at APconnections, looks at the easier method as a manifestation of the bigger trends in the network management. Riles stated that network managers in the 1990s dealt with higher bandwidth expenses. Those years were the peak for thorough and complicated reporting tools. As we approach the second decade of the 21st century, the 'simple is better' method is moving forward and APconnections is a main vendor in that philosophy.

 

The NetEqualizer is a plug and play bandwidth control and WAN/Internet optimization appliance. This appliance is flexible and at the same time scalable. The extraordinary "behavior shaping" technology of NetEqualizer prioritizes applications that are latency sensitive when the network is packed. These include applications like email and VoIP. The NetEqualizer does everything automatically and dynamically so it improves on other bandwidth shaping technology that's present. This appliance also manipulates the flow of the network for the greatest WAN optimization.
