For ISPs, PacketShaper enables the delivery and performance of customized bandwidth services.

Finally, Utilize The Full Power Of Your Applications Right now, your company is spending a huge portion of its IT budget on expensive, business-critical applications, only to find them struggling to function efficiently over the Internet and wide-area networks. What’s going wrong? Far too often, these critical applications are fighting with less important traffic for a limited amount of available bandwidth. This veritable free-for-all not only delays critical information, it wreaks havoc on deadlines and company-wide performance.

Most networks don’t actually need additional bandwidth, but rather a means to manage their existing bandwidth efficiently. Packeteer’s^® PacketShaper^® offers that solution. By managing and optimizing existing bandwidth, PacketShaper breaks the never-ending cycle of buying more to improve application performance.

PacketShaper is the bandwidth-management solution that provides an "Internet Application Infrastructure" for your existing network. Just as a network infrastructure enables efficient data transfer, an application infrastructure enables efficient application performance. Among other responsibilities, it allocates resources, including bandwidth, according to the needs of the applications and company objectives. It does this by looking at the "application-level DNA" of an organization’s traffic and providing the toolset to meet critical service-level agreements for an organization’s top applications.

PacketShaper’s ongoing management cycle ensures that less urgent traffic, such as file transfers or casual web browsing, is kept in check, while business-critical applications have the bandwidth they require. With the PacketShaper application infrastructure in place, your network is strategically directed, maximizing the power of your business applications. leading provider of Internet Application Infrastructures-solutions that ensure the quality of experience for users of critical applications. As the line between the Internet and business networks blurs, Packeteer is dedicated to developing solutions that make distributed applications perform.

"We found that PacketShaper, which can control even the most elusive types of traffic,remains the most capable QoS solution." -InfoWorld, Test Center Comparison, November 1999

Aligning Your Bandwidth With Your Business Goals

Before PacketShaper, file transfers and casual web browsing can easily dominate wide-area network links, frequently monopolizing their entire capacity. The net result? Mission-critical applications-such as Oracle and SAP-languishing without the bandwidth necessary for acceptable response times.

After PacketShaper, business-critical applications enjoy performance that is not only prompt but also consistent. Less urgent traffic-such as email and web browsing-still gets through, but at a more reasonable pace. No single application monopolizes the link.
