Technology

XRoads Networks is the inventor of UBM or Unified Bandwidth Management™. UBM by design provides an excellent platform for Internet and cloud connectivity. The core components of our EdgeXOS platforms with UBM technology include:

Network QoS & Shaping - Network Link Balancing - Network to Network Optimization

These capabilities deliver a unique bandwidth management functionality which optimizes applications which utilize the Internet and redundancy to cloud-based resources.

XRoads Networks has also partnered with a number of best of breed companies to deliver additional security, reporting, and acceleration features to ensure reliable, secure, and responsive connectivity to cloud (Internet/Intranet) applications like remote CRM, Email, SSL, VoIP and other mission critical systems.

XRoads Networks utilizes a combination of both Open Source as well as custom developed firmware for its XRoads Operating System (XOS). We utilize unmodified versions of the Linux Kernel, OpenVPN, IPRoute and several other open source technologies to which we have been a donor and strong supporter of over the years. We have also built our own proxy technology used to perform our balance and bonding capabilities.

It is important to note that our methods are unique and unlike other competing solutions at no time does our technology modify SYN packets in a way that changes and/or includes a physical router address. It is equally important to note that at no time does XRoads Networks provide the ability to aggregate or bond two or more tunnels together which use different levels of security and/or encryption. This distinction means that our products provide more consistant latency and jitter across all available Site2Site tunnels.
