NetMotion Wireless Adds Quality of Service Capabilities to Mobile VPN
SEATTLE, Nov. 6 -- NetMotion Wireless, the industry
leading Mobile VPN solution provider, has added Quality of Service (QoS)
features to Mobility XE(TM). The mobile VPN software solution now gives
organizations even more control over how it allocates wireless LAN and
wireless WAN bandwidth to different applications, ports or IP addresses.
Mobility XE version 7.1 is designed to give highly mobile individuals and
organizations continuous, secure access to critical applications across any
combination of IP networks.
Using eight different levels of traffic shaping, the QoS policy
settings allow organizations to prioritize network traffic for any IP-based
application, including those sensitive to latency and jitter such as
Voice-over-IP (VoIP), video or real-time conferencing applications. Data
from business-critical applications or from specific groups of users can
take precedence, providing the fastest possible transmission.
In addition to traffic shaping, the new QoS policies also support
differential services code point (DSCP) tagging of VPN-encrypted IP packets
so that DSCP-enabled routers, firewalls and switches can provide
network-level QoS. Without QoS policies applied, all network traffic is
treated equally by the VPN and network infrastructure, leaving important
transmissions more vulnerable to delay and degradation.
According to Forrester research, "After a decade of avoiding complex
quality of service (QoS) attributes in an IP network, Forrester's clients
are showing renewed interest. Why? Because shifting to IP-based apps and
converged multimedia networks can be easily foiled by IP's best effort
nature." (The Three Myths of Network QoS, Forrester Research, Inc.,
December 16, 2005).
"As the mobile VPN category becomes established and more widely
deployed, enterprises are looking for more robust network management
functionality," said Tom Johnston, senior VP of products and marketing at
NetMotion Wireless. "The Quality of Service capabilities in Mobility XE
address this need for our customers and our alliance partners. We're seeing
significant new demand to support real-time applications in a mobile,
wireless environment, and our mobile VPN is particularly well suited for
these types of applications. This release marks a new level of maturity for
the mobile VPN market and the beginning of a series of new features
designed specifically to make real-time applications like VoIP more secure
and reliable for mobile employees using wireless networks."
All NetMotion Wireless Mobility XE 7.0 customers with a current
maintenance contract will automatically receive a 7.1 release upgrade for
both client and server editions. Customers with prior versions can upgrade
to version 7.1 with prices dependant on the number of seats. Mobility XE
7.1 is available immediately.
