DiViNetworks, the leading wholesale data capacity provider , has announced a new service - Traffic Management in the Cloud using technology from Sandvine, a leading provider of intelligent broadband network solutions .
This unique service enables ISPs worldwide to apply network policy control functions from the Internet cloud, without deploying a dedicated system in their own network. Several ISPs across the globe have started using the expert network policy control capabilities in the cloud to manage their traffic.
"ISPs are seeking ways to gain deeper visibility into their traffic and apply advanced policies on the IP traffic flows. For many ISPs, the weakest link is their connectivity to the Internet, where they wish to enforce their policies. Others recognize the need to apply intelligent traffic optimization policies to manage network congestion and ensure a high quality of experience for their subscribers, but avoid deploying such systems in their own network."
"Traffic Management in the Cloud is actually our customers' innovation and Sandvine is the perfect partner for such ventures," says Dr. Yair Shapira, VP Marketing and Business Development of DiViNetworks. "Our ISP customers are requesting to apply more and more functions on their traffic as part of our service and we intend to launch additional intelligent services.
"Sandvine's expertise in accurate traffic classification and fair use traffic management technology provides the most granular control of data available today," said Don Bowman, CTO, Sandvine. "By identifying the applications that require prioritization and managing only the relevant traffic, the Sandvine-DiViNetworks collaboration provides 'virtual bandwidth' that reduces transit costs and increases quality of experience for subscribers network-wide."
