GERMANTOWN, Md., Dec. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Hughes Network
Systems, LLC (HUGHES), a leading global provider of managed network
solutions and services, today introduced the newest innovation in
its suite of HughesON™ ActiveTechnologies™ that transforms ordinary
broadband connections into fast, application-aware enterprise-grade
Wide Area Networks (WANs).
Hughes ActiveClassifier is a WAN optimization technology that
automatically analyzes traffic flows in real time, intelligently
classifying business critical applications such as POS, video,
VoIP, and cloud apps. ActiveClassifier ensures applications are
mapped to the right class of service, and in conjunction with other
Hughes ActiveTechnologies, delivers effective prioritization over
the WAN. Furthermore, ActiveClassifier technology eliminates
the onerous administrative overhead typically associated with
defining fixed traffic rules and access lists.
Ideal for multi-branch organizations seeking to cost-effectively
deliver high-performance, high-bandwidth networking to branch
locations – including retail, restaurant, hospitality, financial
services and government agencies – ActiveClassifier opens the way
to augment or even replace their expensive MPLS networks using
broadband via cable, DSL, or LTE. ActiveClassifier includes
domain-based classification that enables an enterprise to
prioritize business-critical cloud applications and websites over
general employee or guest Internet traffic.
"Networks are getting hit with more demands every day as
organizations adopt a flood of new applications – many of which are
cloud based," said Mike Cook, senior
vice president, North American Division at Hughes. "Many times the
applications have not been introduced through the IT or Network
teams, potentially causing bandwidth conflicts and bringing the
network to its knees. ActiveClassifier helps protect all critical
applications by identifying and dynamically prioritizing the
traffic and adapting to the new application mix. Low-cost broadband
connections can now be used in the context of a high-performance
Enterprise WAN, helping keep businesses one step ahead of the next
big bandwidth demand."
In an independent evaluation by The Tolly Group, Hughes
ActiveTechnologies demonstrated highly effective prioritization of
transactional traffic (5X improvement) and multiple web-based
applications (7X improvement) on a congested broadband
transport. These improvements resulted in significantly
faster application processing times and an improved end-user
experience.
How It Works
ActiveClassifier is a premises-based technology built into Hughes
branch gateway devices. It automatically identifies different types
of data and applications, and tags them with specific priority
settings to deliver real-time quality of service over the WAN. For
busy or understaffed IT departments, ActiveClassifier eliminates
the time-consuming process of configuring rules to classify and
prioritize traffic, using advanced heuristics algorithms to do
these functions.
ActiveClassifier is available immediately and is built into all
Hughes HR4700 Branch Gateway devices. For more information about
