Excessive bandwidth usage, resource-heavy entertainment sites, and unproductive applications can lead to network slowdowns and additional internet service costs. According to statistics, between 20 – 30% of traffic in corporate environments comes from non-productive sites or activities, which consumes data that offers no direct value to the organization.
In these cases, it’s advisable to manage the network to ensure productive use of data. Companies can save over 30% of their data consumption by properly configuring their router. These configurations can help reduce usage by restricting non-essential applications and websites.
All Network Administration, Maintenance, and Specialized Support services provided by Ubix include security and optimization functions designed to help you control internet consumption and avoid reaching capacity limits. Here, we explain some of the options we can implement to help you manage your network and its functions effectively.
Application Control
Application Control allows you to identify and block applications, preventing the unnecessary use of programs or services that consume a significant portion of your bandwidth. From streaming platforms to social media, you can assign different rules to preserve network performance. For reference, one hour of streaming can consume between 2 to 4 GB of data.
This feature is especially useful in work or institutional environments, where it’s essential to prioritize critical services and maintain user productivity.
Website Control
Website Control makes it easy to block pages by category, such as gaming, gambling, or entertainment. You can restrict access to sites that are considered unproductive or that consume excessive bandwidth.
Bandwidth Control
Bandwidth Control allows you to limit upload and download speeds either globally or by individual users and user groups. This feature helps you optimize the connection for those who truly require higher capacity, without compromising the overall performance of the network.
