PacketShaper 900 Delivers Next Generation of WAN Optimization as Most Powerful Solution for Intelligent Service Assurance[TM] in Space Constrained Environments

CUPERTINO, Calif. -- Packeteer([R]) (NASDAQ:PKTR), the global leader in WAN Application Delivery, today announced the availability of its PacketShaper 900 (PS900) appliance, the industry's smallest, most feature rich WAN Optimization appliance for visibility, control, compression and acceleration of application traffic in space- and power-constrained locations, such as those found in government, military and retail environments. The PS900 delivers the high performance and full functionality of Packeteer's larger PacketShaper models for Intelligent Service Assurance[TM] in a small form-factor, energy efficient package that aligns with the needs of remote sites where space and power is at a premium. Packeteer's Intelligent Service Assurance solutions offer the high performance delivery of any application and service to any user anywhere in the enterprise, and the PS900 extends this level of assurance cost-effectively to users in the smallest remote offices.

"Even in environments where space and power consumption are a factor, businesses and organizations still require full and powerful WAN Optimization tools," said Dr. Jim Metzler, analyst, Ashton, Metzler & Associates. "Military organizations with vehicles in the field, oil and gas manufacturers with mobile research labs, and even chain stores with kiosk or storefront locations are all examples where performance can't be sacrificed because of space or power limitations. To take this one step further, the need for these classes of small, power-smart WAN optimization appliances will soon no longer be limited to these environments, but will increasingly become the standard that vendors will need to meet for all locations regardless of available space or power."

"In the rally for smaller and more powerful WAN Optimization and application delivery solutions, the PS900 packs major muscle into a small chassis for hot-rod performance," said Roy Agostino, vice president of marketing at Packeteer. "PS900 brings the full visibility, policy control, acceleration and performance of our larger PacketShaper solutions down to size for those places where a larger appliance won't do. By scaling WAN Optimization in this way, Packeteer is signaling to our customers and the industry that we mean it when we say that we deliver any application to any user at any location in the enterprise."

PS900 features include:

* The ability to monitor and troubleshoot performance, enforce QoS policies, and intelligently accelerate applications on a single device

* High Definition Application Visibility / Analysis (Layer 7 Plus)

* Support for multiple (primary/backup or multi-homed) WAN connections

* Fail-to-wire capability on both pairs of ports to support redundant WAN connections

* Small form-factor and reduced power requirements

In addition, Packeteer is also introducing the PS900 Lite, which offers the same visibility and optimization technology as the PS900, but reduces the number of traffic classes supported and some of the detailed performance reports. The PS900 and PS900 Lite are fully supported by IntelligenceCenter, Packeteer's central management and reporting platform, which provides customers with end-to-end enterprise visibility in combination with these and other Packeteer solutions.

Pricing and Availability

The PacketShaper 900 and 900 Lite are available now and pricing begins at $3250 for PS900 and $2250 for PS900 Lite.
