XRoads Networks Overview
EdgeXOS Unified Bandwidth Managers

XRoads Networks is the leading developer of Unified Bandwidth Management™ appliances. UBM is the name for a new emerging trend in network resource management, monitoring, and control. Their UBM appliances provide multi-WAN network load balancing, VPN tunnel reliability & optimization, and network traffic shaping & prioritization.

Improving Performance & Reliability for SME Networks

Small to mid-size business networks need the same degree of bandwidth management and reliability as larger enterprises, without the complexity of BGP routing or the expense of multiple pieces of equipment. Now SME networks can obtain the same kind of performance improvements and redundancy with the EdgeXOS Unified Bandwidth Management (UBM) appliances. UBM is the ability to manage network bandwidth through multi-link connectivity, application QoS & rate-shaping, along with network visibility and the ability to extend this management to remote branch offices via our Site2Site VPN optimization.

Outbound Load Balancing & Redundancy

These platforms deliver a level of multi-link control not found in any firewall or WAN failover solution.

Through the use of the XRoads Vector Routing Algorithm, and Best Path Routing the EdgeXOS platform is able to seamlessly balance network traffic across multiple WAN interfaces, and select the best path for critical remote networks, all while ensuring session persistence and reliable network connectivity.

3 Different Bundled Solutions
Load Balancers Fast, Redundant, and Optimized Internet Connectivity is what XRoads Networks delivers in its Network Load Balancer appliance.	Web Filters The EdgeXOS platform has one of the best web filtering solutions available on the market today. Control access to authorized and unauthorized web sites.	Site2Site Optimizers Optimize WAN performance while obtaining 99.999% uptime for remote and branch office users with our secure (3DES encryption) and site-to-site tunnel technology.

Inbound Server Balancing & Failover

Unlike most failover only solutions, the EdgeXOS platform delivers both outbound and inbound server failover through the use of our ActiveDNS module, which is built-in to the appliance and thus requires no external service provider for dynamic DNS.

Unified Bandwidth Management

What makes the EdgeXOS unique is that is has leveraged its multi-link technology in order to deliver a better application QoS & Rate Shaping solution, along with drastically improved site-to-site VPN capability, and enhanced network monitoring and reporting capabilities.

A Truly Complete Bandwidth Management Solution

• Manage the amount of bandwidth resources available through the connection of multiple WAN interfaces.
• Manage and monitor the QoS and rates of various applications based on preference and end-user allocation.
• Manage and monitor the priority assigned to critical applications with bandwidth reservation and partitioning.
• Managed how each WAN link is used through the use of Best Path Routing and application routing policies.
• Manage remote site bandwidth and branch office connectivity through our MVLS tunnels and the ability to route and balance traffic across multiple tunnels on a per site basis.
• Manage end-user access to WAN resources through XRoads' Netsweeper web content filtering servicesand built-in firewall feature set.
