Webscreen Guarantee of Service (GoS) Technology

Webscreen Guarantee of Service (GoS) technology guarantees network availability for priority users and online customers even during severe pressure on the system.

In an increasingly networked world any disruption in access to mission critical applications and data or degradation in network performance can have a major impact on normal business operations for any organisation. At best this can lead to mild frustration but at worst the consequences can be seriously financially damaging to the business. A Webscreen GoS appliance ensures that your priority users and online customers can expect guarantee of service regardless of fluctuations in network traffic loads.

The Webscreen GoS technology has been designed to provide network and data centre managers with a range of demand management and bandwidth optimisation tools that leverage maximum performance from the system resources. Together with its unique packet flood prevention software Webscreen protects the network during peak load periods or DoS attack

A major potential bottleneck in the network traffic flow lies in the capacity of the ADSL connection. To deal with this issue many network managers often opt to over-specify bandwidth based on worst case traffic predictions. Webscreen includes the ability to maximise bandwidth resources by allocating priority usage to specified users or applications; minimises spurious background noise and delivers a high quality, clean-pipe service to not only improve performance but also generate significant savings on annual connectivity costs.

Positioned in-line and in front of the Firewall the Webscreen appliance acts in stealth mode for the majority of the time and has negligible impact on throughput. When traffic volumes threaten the capacity of the system Webscreen dynamically raises the entry threshold and begins to filter out unknown packets or block low priority users guaranteeing service continuity for legitimate users.

Webscreen's inbuilt traffic flow analysis functionality provides network managers with real-time and historic information on all system activity. Linked to a NetFlow v9 compliant reporting tool the data generated through Webscreen's NetFlow module enables traffic information to be presented on a highly granular basis to give a comprehensive view of what is happening at the internet gateway, at any given time. Using this information it is possible to continually monitor the network and ensure consistent quality of service and acceptable performance to all critical applications as well as demonstrate the efficiencies and cost savings that are achieved through the process, to senior management.
