ISP Overview

Solution Includes

The ISP Suite solution from Opteq International is a complete, high performance package for Internet Service providers ranging from small to large.

There are several standard features and many unique features and business benefits related to the ISP Suite, 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 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 interoperable 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 to CPE before wireless 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.
  • Supports database driven, high speed, URL filtering for effective content management and SMTP mail gateway (add on)
  • Very Low latency.
  • Unique special offer pricing!

 

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 company.
  • Increased multiplex ratios.
  • Limit or remove unwanted or dangerous traffic from the network (e.g. p2p, instant messaging, and viruses).
  • Increase throughput between POP’s by up to 2 or 3 times through compression.
  • Provides extensive visibility and control over internet usage.
  • Delivers fast direct return on investment (ROI).

The Opteq ISP Suite 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 Internet connections and related routing infrastructure, thus reducing their communications costs significantly.
  • Increase available bandwidth between POPS with Hierarchal Caching & Transparent compression.
  • Offer value-added services such as tiered services, traffic guarantees, bandwidth on-demand and usage-based billing. Guarantee bandwidth for mission-critical applications, increased network efficiency, reduced congestion, and detailed network usage statistics and reporting.
  • Policy-based, self-provisioned Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
  • Ability to allow customers access to their own rule sets and reports so each can specify their own traffic management preferences as though a bandwidth shaper is actually on site.
  • Easy Integration with network monitoring and billing systems.
  • Scalable to network growth (up to 1 Gbps with OP2000).
  • Failover insures 100 percent availability and redundancy.
  • Caches have an immediate impact on customer service and satisfaction through an improvement of Internet performance.

 

Typical Deployment

The ISP Suite is capable of functioning in various network environments, the most common of which are shown in the example below.
