Bandwidth Management

53% of bandwidth is used on recreational applications!

Typically, this leaves only 14% of bandwidth remaining for your business critical applications. (The balance of 33% is taken up on routine business applications.) IDC

Many companies have tried to resolve network traffic congestion over the WAN with expensive solutions such as bandwidth routers and firewalls. They do not however, provide an effective solution for WAN application traffic management - they simply push more resources towards a growing problem without addressing the core issues.

This has a negative impact on:

• Individual and organisational productivity
• IT costs and complexity
• Business agility and responsiveness

ICM and Packeteer put you back in the driver's seat. We hand you the keys to an Application Traffic Management system that lets you determine precisely how bandwidth resources are used. If you see it, you'll buy it.

Packeteer can deliver cost-effective bandwidth solutions:

Leading financial services provider avoids more than £300,000 in annual bandwidth costs by deploying the Packeteer system to improve Citrix performance and compress traffic

"There's not another product in our network, there's not another piece of hardware or software that we've bought, that gives us that kind of cost avoidance and return on investment that Packeteer is giving us. Everything else provides connectivity from point A to point B. But Packeteer is there to truly make the environment better and to save the company money. It's been invaluable to us." - WAN Design Architect Lou Prestipino, Landamerica Financial Group
