Bandwidth Provisioning and Application Management

PacketShaper Value Extended to Service Providers:

Running on PacketShaper 7500, 9500 and 10000 models, Packeteer® ISP edition software provides vital IP bandwidth provisioning and application management solutions for Internet service providers. PacketShaper/ISP enables ISPs to leverage the resource that their subscribers want most — bandwidth. From Internet access to VPNs, from Web hosting to intelligent buildings, PacketShaper/ISP edition software ensures reliable and efficient performance across a broad range of services. It’s the answer to service providers’ demands for a high-capacity solution that delivers differentiated services, ensures fair and equal access, enforces user policies and improves profit margins through various co-location services.

Opportunities for Service Providers:

PacketShaper 7500/ISP, 9500/ISP and 10000/ISP enable providers to offer new services and achieve greater revenue from subscribers.

With PacketShaper/ISP, service providers can allocate bandwidth according to every subscriber’s budget and needs. PacketShaper/ISP protects business-critical traffic, enforces user policies and ensures service-level commitments through Layer 7 classification, analysis, reporting and policy-based control. Subscribers can choose between fixed or scaled bandwidth plans that cap usage at predetermined maximums or swell to suit demand.

74 Percent of the World's Largest Companies use PacketShaper:

• Monitor 500+ applications with Layer 7 Plus network visibility
• Shape traffic in real-time with flexible policy-based QoS control
• Accelerate and compress applications for maximum performance
• Deploy and control multiple units with centralized management and reporting

Maximize Performance across the WAN - Stop the endless cycle of bandwidth upgrades. PacketShaper maximizes application throughput across your existing network infrastructure. Get more done in less time, with fewer performance-related complaints and a higher Quality of Service (QoS) for all networked users.

Capitalize on Server Consolidation - Consolidating servers from remote sites to centralized data centers makes sense, yet the additional traffic loads require accurate classification, monitoring and shaping before any benefits can be realized. PacketShaper identifies and controls common traffic—including CIFS, VoIP, CRM, Web and P2P—while also tracking Microsoft®'s underlying CIFS changes in R2.

Realize True QoS for IP Telephony and VoIP - IP Telephony (IPT) and Voice/Video over IP (VoIP) implementation vary between an enterprise and its employees, impacting each network differently. Successful deployment hinges on guaranteed bandwidth and QoS, as well as fitting more calls onto a limited WAN resource. PacketShaper effectively manages critical IPT protocols, delivering WAN capacity and true QoS functionality to ensure the highest quality end-to-end communication for each call.

Deliver and Extend on MPLS Promise - MPLS and IP VPNs are useful for connecting distributed locations, but benefits can’t be realized if applications are oversubscribed, traffic stalls in bottlenecks and critical applications are improperly assigned to best-effort classes. PacketShaper makes good on the MPLS promise, assessing performance and identifying and marking application traffic with special handling needs so traffic can move smoothly to the enterprise edge.

Enhance Network Security - Internal threats from worm infections, unsanctioned recreational traffic and rogue servers can severely impact network capacity and bring down critical applications. PacketShaper helps identify infected PCs and unsanctioned traffic as well as protect performance of key applications and the network during attack—all while delivering hard ROI from bandwidth savings, increased WAN capacity and accelerated application performance.

Packeteer PacketShaper Benefits:

• Application-Intelligent Traffic Classification - Monitor over 500 applications with Layer 7 Plus visibility for an accurate picture of network traffic.
• Network and Application Monitoring/Analysis - Look deeper into application traffic network utilization and response times, performance diagnostics, connection profiling and forensics as well as SLA tracking with proactive altering and management.
• Traffic Shaping and Quality of Service (QoS) - Go far beyond routers with unparalleled QoS and traffic shaping with simple prioritization to ensure critical applications (including bandwidth max or min per application, user or flow). Also, limit or block recreational and malicious traffic.
• Application Acceleration - Maximize application throughput across your network infrastructure and overcome WAN latency for peak network performance.
• Centralized Monitoring and Reporting - Deploy and control multiple units with centralized management and reporting features that leverage the capabilities of every PacketShaper on the network.
• Traffic Marking - Mark packets with prescribed DiffServ, IPTOS/Precedence, MPLS tags, VLANs and others. Tie applications to correct IP VPN class of service; compare performance between applications with different Type of Service (ToS) settings.
• Symmetric Compression - Increase WAN capacity quickly over existing links with symmetric device-to-device compression, utilizing advanced compression techniques including multiple algorithms, fragment caching, header compression and packet bundling.

Packeteer PacketShaper Components:

• Monitoring Module - Monitor over 500 applications with deep Layer 7 visibility for an accurate picture of network traffic. Standard on all PacketShaper models.
• Shaping Module - Guarantee key latency-sensitive, critical business applications get the bandwidth they need to perform at their peak using flexible policy-based control.
• Compression Module - Increase WAN capacity quickly and minimize latency with symmetric device-to-device compression. PacketShaper uses the optimal compression algorithm for each application.
• Acceleration Module - Acceleration overcomes WAN latency issues and enhances performance over the WAN by accelerating Web applications, time-sensitive transaction response times and file transfers.
• PolicyCenter® Software - Comprehensive control, centralized configuration management, software distribution and Adaptive Response tracking for multi-unit PacketShaper deployments.
• ReportCenter™ Software - Simplify enterprise-wide performance management with centralized monitoring, network forensics and insight into network applications and their performance.
• Hardware Extensions - Extend PacketShaper across the enterprise—meeting the demands of complex corporate topologies and unique deployment criteria.
• New! Release 8.0 - Release 8.0—the latest operating software for PacketShaper—integrates the new application Acceleration Module with PacketShaper appliances, adds voice/video monitoring and features real-time compression technologies for optimizing converged networks.

Packeteer PacketShaper Specifications Comparison:

Note: Not all capacity specifications can be maximized simultaneously.

* PacketShaper can support more hosts and flows; these figures represent ideal maximums for producing optimal results; numbers are rounded up or down to the nearest thousand. These maximums represent concurrent flows. Performance may vary due to the number of new flows, traffic type, traffic mix and other conditions unique to each deployment.
** No extra partitions are specifically allocated for dynamic partitions. The 10000 Lite and 10000 have a pool of partitions to be shared between static and dynamic partitions.
*** Refers to post-compressed traffic rates - maximum compressed throughput specifications for PacketShaper are lower when compression is enabled due to the extra processing power required to compress traffic.
