Manage Bandwidth and Network Links with Unprecedented Application and User Visibility

The EX Series is the industry’s only appliance combining bandwidth management, link manage- ment, and network monitoring with application and user visibility. This helps organizations optimize and secure their networks by understanding their current network demands at the application and user level, applying traffic policies to enforce network utilization, and increasing reliability of traffic through the use of application prioritization and multiple links. The EX series is built on a high performance and secure platform for an unmatched solution to optimize the network edge.
