Network bandwidth is a valuable resource. Used well, it can be used to offer innovative services to your customers and drive new revenue streams. When misused, your company can suffer: customer satisfaction can degrade, quality of service can be reduced, security can be compromised and your costs can rise unnecessarily.
With the continuing proliferation of networked devices and applications, understanding and managing your network bandwidth can be difficult. Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) is a key technique that can be used to help secure and manage modern networks. With the introduction of the IBM BladeCenter® PN41 blade server, you can now consolidate extraordinary DPI capability into the reliable, scalable and manageable IBM BladeCenter framework.
The IBM BladeCenter PN41 blade server is designed to provide DPI functions for telecommunication, enterprise and government environments that need help improving visibility, service control and security of their network traffic in real-time. By combining the powerful capabilities of IBM BladeCenter with the performance of CloudShield®1, an industry-leading network service control and security provider, the IBM BladeCenter PN41 blade server is designed to be an ideal foundation for next-generation service management solutions. Subscriber Services Manager (SSM), an additional application sold by CloudShield, provides a subscriber-level traffic management system that helps service providers deliver on their Quality of Service (QoS) and Service Level Agreements (SLA) subscriber commitments. This solution also helps detect and prioritize application traffic with a time of day/week granularity for latency-sensitive applications like VoIP, VoD and online gaming applications.
