Overview

The ubiquity of TCP/IP in networks of all types—broadband, enterprise, wireless, the Internet itself—has enabled countless productivity and lifestyle improving applications but it has also resulted in a number of intractable challenges. Most of these challenges are a direct byproduct of the fact that these networks are increasingly being used to carry traffic they are not ideally suited for. Voice over IP (VoIP), streaming video, high-definition business video conferencing, and interactive on-line gaming are just a few examples of the many network applications requiring more robust traffic management mechanisms in order to satisfy user quality expectations.

Anagran provides advanced traffic management solutions that dramatically improve network performance and deliver important benefits: increased throughput, improved quality of service, and reduced susceptibility to congestion-inducing peer-to-peer applications.

Anagran solutions can be applied to a number of different network operators:

Broadband service providers. Broadband providers of all types (cable, wireline, wireless) can employ Anagran solutions to reduce bandwidth requirements, improve user satisfaction, and prevent some traffic types (e.g., peer-to-peer) from using more than its fair share of bandwidth.

Enterprise networks. Enterprise planners and managers can add Anagran to their networks and instantly improve quality for VOIP and video teleconferencing while also saving on overall bandwidth expenses.

Schools and Universities. These heavy users of Wi-Fi can dramatically improve application performance (and correspondingly reduce trouble calls) by adding Anagran solutions to their campus and wide area networks.
