Allot Networks Solutions: Government

Broadband Traffic Management Solutions for Intelligent Networks

From VoIP and video-conferencing to information collaboration and SLA supervision, government agencies need their mission-critical applications running reliably, smoothly and economically between branch offices and datacenters. This goal is difficult to achieve as budgets are constrained and computing environments become more open and therefore, more vulnerable.

Allot solutions provide the crucial visibility of network usage and user behavior, support networks from the backbone line and multiple lines from a single unit, provide redundancy, and supply the essential connection between hardware infrastructure and powerful application control. This eliminates network congestion, reduces bandwidth costs, and guarantees bandwidth for mission-critical applications and QoS. Furthermore, they offer extensive long-term reporting for evaluation of trends and accurate capacity planning using hourly and daily statistics stored for months or years, and hundreds of customizable report formats about network traffic, including tracking of utilization and policy statistics, network distribution and activities.

Allot's comprehensive portfolio of products is based on cutting-edge Layer-7 Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technology . Looking deep into each and every packet and into packet flows traversing the network, they identify and prioritize applications according to defined policies, offering government networks the unique combination of the following:

Network Visibility solutions provide granular visibility of IP traffic by volume, protocol, application and user activity. This valuable network intelligence allows government agencies to reduce communications expenses, protect network integrity, and to boost productivity and efficiency.
Application Control and Congestion Management capabilities of Allot DPI platforms allow operators to manage bandwidth utilization and to prevent network resource exploitation. Application-aware policies defined by the operator are applied to the network traffic to manage bandwidth utilization, particularly during times of congestion. When crafting network congestion policies, the operator may assign different priorities and conditions to different traffic categories, specifying the actions to be taken in each case.
WAN Optimization: Allot’s highly-scalable bandwidth management (traffic shaping) solutions deliver a proactive, policy-powered approach to WAN optimization, allowing network operators to create different traffic policies for different WAN links.
Value-Added DPI Services: To further save costs and boost productivity, Allot delivers complementary solutions which include media caching, VoIP quality monitoring, URL filtering and more. These solutions add value to the network by providing SLA monitoring, resource optimization and improved productivity.
DDoS and Bot/Zombie Protection are part of Allot’s complete security solution for managing Denial of Service attacks and for detecting users infected with Trojan horses, spambots, or spyware who are unwittingly participating in Bot and Zombie attacks and clogging the network with illegitimate traffic.
