Packeteer
As you know, enterprise-wide software, the high-speed WAN and, ultimately, the Internet contributed to the “distributed enterprise” becoming more and more “distributed.” A talented group of tech folk recognized and identified the common problems these “enterprises” would encounter administrating these ever-expanding networks and sought ways to solve them.
In 1996, they formed Packeteer(NASDAQ: PKTR) in Cupertino, California (average home price $500,001) and, just down the street from Apple Computer, Symantec and Hewlett-Packard, quietly became the global leader in WAN application optimization. In a nutshell, Packeteer combines a family of scalable appliances with patented software capabilities to deliver unmatched visibility, control, acceleration, and management of application traffic across WAN and Internet links.
Packeteer solutions help align an organization’s network and application resources with its business priorities, optimizing network performance and reducing operational costs in the process. Packeteer markets its solutions through a global network of VARs, distributors, and system integrators (ala VistaOne). They responsibly and politely back their products 24x7 with a global service and support organization.

You benefit according to your business volume through straightforward, understandable discounting structures. VistaOne supports every form of acquisition; capital purchase, capital or operating lease, or short term rental. |
And you know what comes next, and soon. As the corporate WAN continues to evolve, it must support not only critical data applications, but speed-dependent voice and video traffic. Packeteer is already busy deploying comprehensive application traffic management over multiprotocol layer switching (MPLS)-based WANs that will support converged voice, video and data traffic, improve WAN quality of service (QoS) and demonstrate optimal return on WAN investments.
Visibility
Packeteer monitoring begins by automatically classifying more than 400 specific 
types of application traffic that consume costly WAN bandwidth. Deliciously, Packeteer can also reveal how these apps perform, who is using them, and which ones are causing performance problems.
Control
It gets even better. Now, IT managers can use Packeteer to assign customized QoS and bandwidth policies to prioritize business-critical applications and ensure optimal performance, while limiting or blocking bandwidth formerly gobbled up by recreational or potentially malicious applications. (YOU, the “Baron of Bandwidth,” decide who the evildoers are and cut them off at the pass.)
Acceleration
As a bonus, Packeteer's intelligent compression technology yields up to 10X compression gains on certain traffic types, relieving congestion, accelerating traffic and opening bandwidth for other applications. Finally, Packeteer delivers system-wide reporting and policy management applications guaranteed to simplify administration of large-scale deployments. No other solution on the market offers this comprehensive set of integrated capabilities, period.
