Cymphonix™ bandwidth composer allows you to:

• See how your bandwidth is being consumed
• Distribute your bandwidth more efficiently
• Restrict bandwidth hogs and rogue users
• Avoid collisions with core business applications
• Save money by not having to buy more bandwidth

3 Simple steps to Increase Network Productivity

Step 1: Monitoring
With Bandwidth Composer™, you can closely watch the people, equipment, and applications that you use your bandwidth to identify where the trouble spots are, and who or what is abusing your resources. You'll see who the greedy users are, if there are any unauthorized users, and whether you're actually getting and using, all the bandwidth you're paying for.

Step 2: Reporting
Once you've monitored what's going on, you can generate detailed, easy-to-read reports by user, group, or application – quantifying what's happening with your bandwidth allocation, and more. The reports enable you to quickly see the following information:

• Top bandwidth users: Find out who your bandwidth hogs are
• Application type traffic: Understand how much bandwidth each application is using
• Traffic patterns: Track usage by day, hour, user, or application
• Top URLs visited: Find out where users are going and restrict access if necessary

Step 3: Shaping
Unlike other programs that just monitor and report, Cymphonix ™ Bandwidth Composer lets you easily do something with the information. Once you've identified the trends and trouble areas, you can prioritize and manage traffic to get the most of the bandwidth you already have:

• Distribute your bandwidth more efficiently – allocating more where you need it most
• Set priority by user, group and application, as well as maximum and minimum throughput
• Protect bandwidth needed for core business applications
• Determine traffic at Layer 7 and manage it appropriately
• Determine amount of bandwidth use by individual or group, and charge appropriately for it
