UltraBandTM Series

Product Overview

UltraBand is a next-generation transparent Internet caching solution that optimizes delivery of Internet video services, file sharing applications, software distribution services and more – virtually any service or application that consists of bandwidth-consuming large objects.  UltraBand is focused on resolving congestion created by Internet video and other high-bandwidth applications, while meeting subscribers’ demand for the content.  UltraBand consists of three major components:
  1. One or more cache engines that detect repeatedly-requested content, copy the content into cache storage, retrieve the content from storage and deliver it to requesting subscribers
  2. Storage ranging from appliances with self-contained storage to external storage arrays holding tens of terabytes
  3. An element management system, UBView, that supports system configuration and management functions, and also provides reporting on key metrics

UltraBand integrates with the network via existing network elements, typically a router or deep packet inspection (DPI) device. Traffic is diverted from these elements to UltraBand, and then looped back to the same network element, to be routed just as it would be without the cache.  As a result, there is minimal change to operator network configuration and traffic flow.  Caching is completely transparent to the end user and to the originating application. 

UltraBand's transparent caching architecture ensures application integrity and content freshness.
