April 28, 2003: XMCS Announces Next Generation Software Featuring Distributed QoS Functionality XMCS is pleased to announce XMCS v1.5 for E1000/SP2000-series products. XMCS v1.5 introduces distributed QoS functionality in addition to improved device administration. Building upon the embedded XMCS traffic flow-control system, XMCS v1.5 introduces support for distributed QoS through the QoS Offload Manager. The QoS Offload Manager allows traffic shaping policies to be distributed onto network switches and routers w/ QoS and Access-list capabilities. Using dynamically generated ACLs the XMCS creates real-time access control lists for remote routers and switches. These lists typically contain the top blacklist networks, which are to have their network speeds reduced and/or the top whitelist networks to be protected. XMCS v1.5 also introduces centralized Service Engine management allowing clusters of XMCS Service Engines to be managed from one Cluster Manager. Prior to v1.5 the Cluster Manager was responsible for keeping state between Service Engines that employed their own management GUIs. Centralized Service Engine management simplifies system administration and also introduces real-time statistics that provide detailed connection reporting for all client/servers currently connected across all Service Engines in the cluster. Xtreme Mail Control Systems is focused on providing intelligent service management solutions for both service provider and enterprise electronic mail infrastructure. Offering an unprecedented level of integration between core network components and edge services, the XMCS solution overcomes the obstacles inherent to existing heterogeneous mail management solutions by providing a homogenous solution for managing mail from the network through application-layer service levels. By combining highly sophisticated spam and virus detection algorithms with network-based traffic management, XMCS regulates network traffic by prioritizing network bandwidth for valid mail traffic while reducing the network bandwidth consumed by connections trafficking spam and/or malicious content such as viruses.
