As businesses have come to depend on client-server and
distributed enterprise applications, the network infrastructure has become
the lifeblood of the company. Business operations demand reliable yet
cost-effective networks as network problems result in lost revenue,
increased costs, or both.
Solutions have been developed to guarantee and enhance the
performance of networks by controlling the traffic they carry. These are
known variously as quality of service (QoS), bandwidth management, traffic
shaping and, most recently, network performance (NP) solutions.
Equator One's newest addition to its suite of infrastructure
management tools, MAX NP, supports the different technologies used to
implement network performance solutions on Internet Protocol (IP) networks,
banking mostly on the advantages of MAX NP's Hierarchical Credit-based
Queuing (HCQ) approach
