Successful distributed enterprises depend on collaborative, customer-critical applications to run their business. They can’t afford “operational paralysis” due to rigid networks that aren’t able to support these applications. The Packeteer PacketShaper is an intelligent overlay that bridges the gap between the network and applications, delivering integrated visibility, control, compression and acceleration in a single device, ensuring optimal application performance and a great user experience.

Before you can optimize application performance, you need an accurate picture of network traffic. The PacketShaper Monitoring Module provides deep insight into application traffic so you can identify, measure and manage all traffic types — customer-critical, business, recreational and miscellaneous — even if they’re sharing common ports.

PacketShaper automatically classifies and measures network applications, providing the insight of a probe but with deeper, application-intelligent Layer 7 Plus visibility. In addition to delivering network and application utilization and performance data, the Monitoring Module validates common protocols and tracks what happens to each connection established by each application. Monitoring also breaks traffic down at a granular level, recording peak and average utilization rates, bytes transmitted, availability, utilization, top talkers/listeners, network efficiency and much more.

Guarantee bandwidth availability for the applications that drive your business. The PacketShaper Shaping Module provides Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning that helps you control traffic to ensure that latency-sensitive, customer-critical applications get the bandwidth they need to perform at their peak.

With patented TCP rate control, the Shaping Module automatically determines the sending rates of computers at the far end of the network to deliver bi-directional QoS. Then prioritize your business-critical applications — and provision sessions for them — with application-intelligent QoS technology. If recreational applications are tying up your network, the Shaping Module allows you to move them into a folder and partition the bandwidth as you see fit. You can also enhance network security by finding and stopping infected PCs and tracking every flow through the network.

The PacketShaper Compression Module instantly increases WAN capacity, improving application performance and user response times. Using a symmetric, application-intelligent architecture and multiple data reduction methods, the Compression Module intelligently selects what traffic to compress and which technology to use — increasing capacity from two to ten times — reducing bandwidth usage and minimizing WAN latency.

Automatically setting up tunnels between devices and maintaining reliability of compression exchanges, the Compression Module utilizes several different compression technologies — high efficiency, low-latency algorithms, packet packing, MTU management and header compression — to increase link capacity.
