WEBSENSE ENTERPRISE BANDWIDTH OPTIMIZER FOR BANDWIDTH MANAGEMENT

Websense Enterprise Bandwidth Optimizer (BWO) enables organizations to optimize their network bandwidth resources by prioritizing and managing network traffic in real time. As network traffic reaches preset thresholds, BWO manages new non-business-related uses and thereby ensures that critical business applications have priority access to network resources.

WEBSENSE ENTERPRISE BANDWIDTH OPTIMIZER ALLOWS YOU TO:

• Set bandwidth thresholds for non-business-related websites, such as shopping and entertainment, and higher thresholds for work-related sites.
• Implement bandwidth management for bandwidth allocated to instant messaging sites by setting thresholds that are appropriate to specific users or groups, allowing chatting when ample bandwidth is available.
• Implement bandwidth management for bandwidth allocated to streaming media by blocking those applications when the network is running at or near capacity.
