The SmartShare StraightShaper™ product, is a hardware solution providing intelligent bandwidth management, guaranteeing all users on the network a fair share of the available internet bandwidth.

Automatic Bandwidth Management
SmartShare StraightShaper is based on years of experience in developing network equipment for business-critical environments.

Utilizing the unique and patented User Load Balancing™ and Dynamic Quality of Service™ algorithms, the StraightShaper overcomes many of the problems of traditional QoS-based appliances, when it comes to installation and configuration ease.

Dynamic QoS™ versus Traditional QoS
Traditional QoS solutions require manual configuration of both the ISP’s and the subscribers’ networks. Traditional QoS solutions are based on reserving bandwidth for expected use. This creates a number of disadvantages: Firstly, configuring a subscriber’s network for specific QoS settings adds cost to the deployment. Secondly, reserved bandwidth is wasted when not in use. Thirdly, reserved bandwidth has a fixed size limit and can therefore be exceeded, resulting in a degradation of VoIP quality.

SmartShare Systems’ Dynamic QoS™ technology has none of these disadvantages. It processes all voice, video and data traffic dynamically on the basis of current needs, optimizing internet connection utilization without the need to reserve bandwidth that may never be used. In this way, you can save costs while guaranteeing service quality. The result is a core network that is easier to maintain, better quality ISP services, and increased subscriber satisfaction.

License Upgradeable
SmartShare StraightShaper appliances come in a range of sizes to ensure that each of your offices has a properly sized bandwidth management appliance.

Furthermore, with the upgradeable licensing capability, you don’t need to oversize a box for your remote offices and can ensure that you still have room to grow while protecting your WAN optimization appliance investment.
