Hughes CBA-enabled Solutions
Hughes uniquely combines application-aware networking technology at the branch with intelligence about what is happening over the broadband WAN into a single seamless network solution that enables your strategic initiatives. As shown below, Hughes CBA-enabled applications are matched to key business initiatives.
(1.9 MB) Hughes ActiveQoS is the key enabling technology developed by Hughes to achieve high quality convergence over broadband where real-time traffic such as voice is not normally prioritized and supported consistently. CoS markings are typically ignored by generic broadband networks, and variable performance renders edge prioritization ineffective. This has two significant consequences on branch traffic. First, real-time traffic is impacted by packet loss and jitter within the network; and second, lower priority traffic enters the WAN and degrades the performance of high-priority, mission-critical traffic. A key enhancement to the Hughes WAN Optimization offering, Hughes ActiveQoS resolves these issues by intelligently monitoring the bandwidth over the WAN and balancing the proper volume of traffic sent through the pipe to ensure that voice, video, and real-time data can all get through. Hughes ActiveQoS balances upstream and downstream traffic to network capacity on a site-by-site basis, and is scalable to any number of sites. As a result, real-time traffic is actively prioritized while packet loss, jitter, and latency are reduced—resulting in significant cost savings. |
WAN Optimization is a suite of capabilities that seeks to optimize network utilization and accelerate a broad range of applications accessed by distributed enterprise users via a variety of methods, including:
