This cost effective solution has been specially designed by Opteq International for smaller remote branch office environments where simplicity and reliability are key factors. Covering everything required by the branch it also leverages off the power of a central Head Office unit to deliver unrivaled performance and acceleration for you network traffic.

There are several standard features and many unique features and business benefits related to this solution, some of which are included below.

Standard Features

• Visibility, analysis and diagnostics for all traffic flows across all protocols.
• Full, bi-directional control and optimisation of all network traffic.
• Manage all traffic right from the source (host) across all links (including wireless and satellite) and topologies.
• Extended traffic control and protection through packet filter fire-walling.
• Hierarchical caching with web proxy.
• Advanced transparent data compression.
• High performance server platform with failover functionality.
• Single solutions platform with one, “easy to use” web base management interface.
• Comprehensive reporting for quick and easy network wide statistics for all network flows.
• Open API and ODBC access for easy integration to existing systems.
• 100% transparent and fully inter operable with existing infrastructure.

Unique Features

• Single solutions platform, common interface, consistent reporting etc.
• Manage all traffic types including UDP (VoIP, VOD, Streaming media).
• End to end management controlling bandwidth before bandwidth is consumed.
• Manages inbound and outbound traffic simultaneously on the same interface with the same rules (half the number of rules than competing products to achieve same thing).
• Cache pre-fetching, “fetch once serve many”, an advanced algorithm for freshness and highly tuned memory indexing.
• Offload DHCP traffic by utilising a local DHCP server and/or DHCP Relay.
• Accelerate and enhance response times with a local caching DNS server.
• Accelerate TCP traffic across high latency links such as Satellite or long distance wireless with SCPS.
• Very Low latency.
• Unique special offer pricing!

Optional Features.

• Secure your branch traffic while accelerating it with SSL/TLS or IPSec encrypted Tunnels.
• Allow secure remote connections to your branch with Client SVPN.
• Manage all your branch units from a single Management unit with Central iQ.
• Centralise all your branch reports from a single management unit with Central Reports.

Business Benefits

• Provides detailed analysis and diagnostic support for networks to assist the organisation in deciding policies or measuring performance improvement and return on investment.
• Increases network performance and postpones costly bandwidth upgrades for your branch.
• Limit or remove unwanted or dangerous traffic from the network (e.g. p2p, instant messaging, and viruses).
• Increase throughput to Head Office by up to 2 or 3 times through compression.
• Provides extensive visibility and control over all traffic types.
• Delivers fast direct return on investment (ROI).

The Opteq Branch Office Solution allows you to maximize your current network investments in several unique and important ways --

• Bandwidth iQ completely offloads routers, eliminating packet drops and retransmissions.
• By serving repeat requests for content from the local cache, ISPs offload traffic from their branch links and related routing infrastructure, thus reducing their communications costs significantly.
• Increase available bandwidth to Head Office and Internet with Hierarchal Caching & Transparent compression.
• Guarantee bandwidth for mission-critical applications, increase network efficiency, reduce congestion, and get detailed network usage statistics and reporting.
• Policy-based, self-provisioned Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
• Easy Integration with network monitoring and billing systems.
• Failover insures 100 percent availability and redundancy.
• Cache and compression have an immediate impact on service and satisfaction through an improvement in response times from both Internet and Intranet.
