Acceleration

Acceleration is the third step in building an "intelligent network" that optimizes WAN application performance across the enterprise - and an integral component of Packeteer's four-in-one solution that provides:

1. Visibility into performance of over 450 applications and network utilization
2. Control over application performance and network utilization.
3. Acceleration of performance and increased WAN capacity.
4. Centralized management of performance analysis, reporting, and policy administration for large Packeteer deployments.

The Packetshaper Xpress allows you to align application performance and network resources with your business priorities using Packeteer's Application Traffic Management System.

PacketShaper Xpress is an advanced traffic compression option that leverages Packeteer's application intelligence to compress traffic and accelerate application performance. With simplified setup for large environments, PacketShaper Xpress provides the ability to increase WAN capacity and direct those gains to your mission-critical applications.

Benefits

• Quickly increase WAN capacity over the same physical links.
• Improve application performance and user response times.
• Ensure that critical applications receive increased capacity.

Capabilities

• Two-sided, device-to-device compression tunnels.
• Utilizes multiple techniques including fragment caching, multiple compression algorithms, header compression, packet bundling to compress and minimize traffic.
• Application intelligence provides ability to optimize compression gains and minimize latency by employing best approach to different traffic types.
• Plug-in architecture enables simple mechanism to update with new algorithms and approaches for continued innovation and improvement in gains.
• ActiveTunnel Management simplifies setup, assures easier scaling of large environments, and actively monitors tunnel quality to maximize reliability.
