Cymphonix makes it easy to gain control over Internet resources.
Cymphonix Network Composer EX series provides awareness of users, applications, and Web content in a unified appliance that allows you to make performance and security decisions about converged Internet traffic with intelligence. On average, 50% of any Internet connection is used for browsing. Some of the browsing activity is critical, like research and business application sites and some of it is non-critical, like social networking, gaming and adult content. The other 50% of any Internet connection is used for Internet applications - both critical, like voice over I.P. and database backups; and non-critical, like peer-to-peer, streaming media and music downloads. Network Composer by Cymphonix is the only solution that addresses both browsing and application activity for small and medium-sized organizations. Network Composer also gives you a complete reporting suite to show you top bandwidth users, top Internet users, sites visited, real-time application activity and more! Network Composer brings enterprise class Internet controls including content filtering and application prioritization to small and medium sized organizations. With such a high dependency on bandwidth for communications, data archival and doing business, Cymphonix has made it easy to ensure applications have the resources they need and users are protected from inappropriate content. Because organizations differ in the ways they use Internet resources, Network Composer is completely customizable – giving you the power to prioritize the applications, users, and even websites that drive your organization’s success. Cymphonix has solutions to your network management needs, regardless of what field you are in.

Network Composer uses an optimized balance of URL categorization, keyword scanning and dynamic content analysis to give you full filtering without introducing noticeable latency. Because Network Composer scans deep into the packet payload, it also makes it easy to:
What about Applications?
Your top bandwidth users aren't using a web browser at all. They're downloading files and streaming media. Network Composer uses layer 7 matching technology to control applications - so even evasive applications can't sneak by.
