Is it time for a packet shaper replacement?
We at VistaOne built our business in 2004 provisioning, supporting and training network administrators on the Packeteer PacketShaper, primarily in education environments.

By 2011, we’d discovered architectural limitations inherent in the product (acquired by Blue Coat) wouldn't permit adequate scaling to meet the demands for bandwidth, users, applications and devices on the growing campus network.

Packet Shaper replacement time.
In our search for a replacement, we found several solutions that not only exceeded 10Gbps capacity, but indexed and recognized more applications, permitted end-to-end views of transactions and individual users and employed simpler controls for more sophisticated policy enforcement.

As you prepare for the future, you can depend on VistaOne to deliver the information, evaluations and guidance you need to make the right choice for your environment.
Learn how one university met their need for speed.
The network services group at Virginia Commonwealth University realized responding to bandwidth demands on their network would exceed their PacketShaper’s capacity to monitor applications flowing across their link.
