Duna is on Spain!

Duna is a traffic shapping/bandwidth management appliance that can do by user shapping. It's a product developed in netlabs, the company that I work for in Uruguay, which we are selling in Spain in partnership with Inology under the name of Duna. Inology is truly a great company, very supportive and with a good long term vision; after all, they welcomed us even as we came from a small south american country ;).

Even if it's not fair for me to praise it since we developed it ;), it's actually quite a piece. Tuna is developed with usability in mind, and targeted at SoHo (small office, home office) companies that can't afford an expensive solution (or in which an expensive solution it's too much for their needs or complex to manage).

It allows the user to eliminate the bandwidth abuse of P2P users, regulating the amount of bandwith available to those users or blocking P2P applications altogether. It can also filter and block other kind of 'distracting' traffic such as MSN. Also, it can be configured to split bandwith equally among users or to assign an specific bandwith to individual network users. This feature is generally not available in this kind of equipment.

This traffic shaping options extend to VoIP traffic, so that Duna can be used to make VoIP possible by making voice run smoothly thru the network.

Indulge me and take a look at it ;). If you are looking for this kind of solution, I don't think you will be disappointed.

Thanks to the first blogger (outside netlabs:)) that mentions e-duna! .... Of course, maybe he's not the first, but he is the first we ...
